What happens here
As seen in the video, the switches are housed in weatherproof boxes mounted on a wooden post. Secure the outdoor-rated switch boxes to the chosen stable surface (e.g., a wooden post, exterior wall, or sturdy fence post) using appropriate exterior-grade screws or mounting hardware. Ensure the boxes are level and firmly attached. If running conduit, plan and install conduit runs to the box entry points. Drill any necessary pilot holes for mounting screws or conduit entry.
Goal: Securely attach the outdoor-rated switch enclosures.
