## Description

AcuRite Temperature and Humidity Solar Radiation Shield : desertcart.co.uk: Business, Industry & Science

Review: A Sturdy Plastic Cage for a Therm-Hygrometer - I bought this Acurite Radiation Shield/Cage for a different brand of thermo-hygrometer to the one it is designed for, as I knew that the generous dimensions of the internal void would accommodate my sensor. I was impressed by the quality of the this Shield which is quite a sturdy unit. The Acurite Shield, which arrives fully assembled, is actually constructed from a set of moulded white plastic louvre sections of tapering sizes with plastic latches that enable each section to click firmly into the next. These louvre units can easily be dis-assembled, if necessary, to assist in any modifications, which I needed to do in order to drill some fixing holes for my own cross piece that I screwed onto the internal top plate from which to hang my thermo-hygrometer sensor. The design protects your sensor from rain and also minimises erroneous readings due to direct sunlight but allows the air to flow through. I can recommend this unit.
Review: Works well with SensorPush sensors - I am using these housings with SensorPush HTxw sensors in polytunnels. The height of the housing can be adjusted by adding and removing extra levels. My readings seem to be accurate for temperature, humidity and VPD, and they shelter sensors from direct sun and from rain. Very happy with the design

**Q: Does this little shield help the sensor provide true free air temperature in full sun, if not why so expensive?**
A: Yes, this solar radiation shield helps the sensor read more accurately in direct sunlight and protects it from rainfall. If you have further questions, please reach out to our support team via live chat or email request on the AcuRite Support website.

**Q: Does the hanging Pole come with the shield**
A: No hanging pole comes with the shield.  However, on the back of the shield is a "hanging indenture" that slides onto the head of a nail or screw.  So, you can hang the shield two ways.....with a nail/screw or a pole.  I chose the nail/screw method.

**Q: Will this shield keep the sensor dry so ut can be placed out in the open?**
A: Hello John,
Yes, this unit is designed to be placed out in the open and protect the sensor from sunlight and rainfall. If you have further questions or concerns, please reach out to our support team via live chat or email request on the AcuRite Support website.

Have a delightful day!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Okay for money!
*by A***Y on 2 August 2025*

Smaller than expected but adequate for temperature sensor. Fixing for the sensor is a bit hit and miss, as "gripped" by thin plastic clips.
