Is anyone in the business of building Stevenson type screens?

I really need to invest in something but I have to admit that it is not really something I could turn my hand to.

I was thinking of something like this... viewtopic.php?p=40916#p40916

I would happily pay ;)

I dismantled my round one (shown in the link) and reused some of the bits. It was a bit flimsy though - the bowls were very thin plastic, designed as throw-away picnic bowls. It wasn't as effective as the standard style Stevenson screen I replaced it with (though much easier and simple to build).

I'm afraid I haven't got time to build Stevenson screens for anyone else at present.

Sorry, no banner - weather station out of action. Hoping to be up and running with a new home-made one soon.

Well, this is as far as I have got with my MK1 design to date.

It's coming along slowly but surely.

Not got a weather station right now as it had to be returned, so I'm using a low cost TFA temp sensor for now. I have normally been seeing about .5 degrees lower than a fairly nearby airfield most of the time. It's almost always at least 2 degrees lower than the Fine Offset I have just returned, biggest difference I saw with that so far was 6.1 I think, but I wasn't looking for much of a comparison with it though, as it was clearly not right in quite a number of ways! Hoping to see another station here in the next week or two with luck.

I'm presently working on a dual sensor mount for this screen as I plan to keep the TFA unit in place and add the new one. The TFA is 868Mhz and the new one will most likely be 433, I'm hoping that the two won't clash too badly.
