Hello. For Christmas 2022 I want to build a P5 outdoor panel that is 6 wide x7 tall. I’m wondering if there are plans or directions how to build the waterproof housing for P5 or P10 outdoor panels? Or is there a place you recommend that builds them?

thanks for your help.

I have a 6x7 P5 matrix. I think most of us go the DIY route. I used 1x6 PVC trim board Veranda 3/4 in. x 5-1/2 in. x 8 ft. H Performance Reversible Cellular White PVC Trim Board-H190OWS4 - The Home Depot for the frame and had someone CNC the mounting strips. I used the polycarbonate sheet from Boscoyo to weather proof the front Clear Polycarbonate Sheet - Boscoyo Studios and a 1/16" plastic panel I picked up from Home Depot for the back PLASTEX 1/16 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. Plastic Panel-63003 - The Home Depot Mounting holes are different for indoor and outdoor panels so make sure if you purchase mounting strips that will work with the panels you use. I used the outdoor P5 panels from LysonLED and have zero issues
