Thanks for the replies above. I live in a fairly small tow, 10-12K, in the
mountains, so don't have much choice locally. I did follow up on the link
by
J. Fields, at one of our larger h/s stores and found something suitable.
I
don't like the way it mounts, but that can be fixed. It just has a simple
notched hole in the back to hang it from a screw. I just need some minor
h/w
to hang it on a PVC pipe coming out of the ground. Intermatic is the
mfger.
