Placing an outdoor wall clock and thermometer on a patio, near a pool, or another exterior location will help you keep track of time without having to go back inside when you're enjoying the outdoors or lounging by the pool area.
As a rule of thumb, hang your outdoor wall clock higher than the tallest normal obstruction so that it is visible for all to see. People should not be craning their necks to check the time, so walk around the outdoor area to determine the best possible location and height for your clock, which is basically eye level for most people.
To get accurate temperature reading from your outdoor clock and thermometer, do not place it in the direct sunlight. Shaded area, for example under a canopy, is a good option. Locating the thermometer in a covered area to protect it from elements, e.g. snow, hail etc. is a good idea too, as they may influence the temperature reading.
Weather-resistant materials are the best option for outdoor wall clocks and thermometers given the fact that they’ll be regularly exposed to the elements due to their location.
The very best and most durable option is metal, either when powder-coated or painted. However, you can find some good and cheaper plastic models, too.
There are various methods you can use to attach your outdoor wall clock and thermometer. Depending on whether you have siding and how heavy your outdoor clock is, you may be able to use soffit hooks or vinyl siding. These materials are easy to use and are great for items that weigh up to 5 lbs.
If you have wood columns on your home outdoors, you can attach the outdoor wall clock and thermometer directly to the columns with wood screws. You can also do the same if you have vinyl column wraps. To do so, simply screw your clock through the column wrap and then directly into the wood behind.
If your home has masonry columns, use masonry screws and anchors. If your outdoor space is brick, there are special clips you can purchase that attach your clock to the brick.
