Rod, take a look at these. I've been setting mine out during our drought, and they last for years.

I haven't complained about our drought, but the continuous triple digit days, and temps still in the 90's after dark, are beating me down. I know I'll be whining in January/February when we get prolonged freezing temps, but I am looking forward to my wood store fired up in the shop, and listening to podcasts as I'm welding some project just because I can.
