A different brand with a similar issue, we use to install Alvarion B-100’s in a 4” pvc pipe with a cap on one and and a clean out fitting on the other end, drill a hole in the screw on cover for the clean out fitting to run the wires through. Mount them vertically with the clean out fitting down of course, they never got water inside them again!! We would strap the pipe to the tower with large hose clamps. Lol. I little extreme I know but it worked.
