I found this about general installation recommendations but like I
said, just do the best for what I have to work with.

Here's a couple of pics of the installd unit. Probably a couple of little
things I could to to reduce any eyesore.
Piece of PT attached to fascia with a couple of screws to hold during
install. Mast attached to PT with 4x pipe straps and 2" galv screws. 2"
used so it penetrates PT and fascia board. Ain't coming off.
Supplied pole fits snugly inside mast pipe. Drilled hole clear through
both and put in machine screw and locknut.
Rain gague bracket spans junction of supplied upper pole to secure and
keep from turning.
Temp gague mounted with 10x1" screws into 3/4 strip.
Still ain't gonna survive a garbage can hit...

Couple of concerns about location but best I could do for what I have to
work with. Possible warm air collecting under soffit because siding below
gets sun in afternoon. Gable vent off to the left, Should breeze be
blowing from the left I guess it could drift over and have an effect.
That looks pretty good. The temperature sensor is supposed to be away from
a building, but you have to work with what you have. What did you use for
the mast pipe?
