In this article, I suggested what I've come to call WiFi scarecrows. Mount your outdoor access points up on a temporary, tall-ish tripod. Figure out where they work best before committing to a more permanent installation.
But I just found something better. It's free and much taller, and can't be knocked over by kids.
So at my zoo, I just mounted an AP on bamboo:
This has the air of something temporary that will work so well, I am at risk of forgetting about it! I have left a few feet of slack, so when it grows in the spring I should be OK. I'll have to report back then. In the meantime, this access point is ideally situated in the upper zoo, giving great coverage from small African primates over to gorillas in one direction and otters in the other.
