    I wouldn't put it in a completely sealed box, that would cook it.
Put it in a little shelter like they use for weather instruments. They
have a roof with a large enough overhang all around to shade it and
then the walls are vented -- white-painted wood slats at an angle so
rain can't get in but air flows  freely. Cheap and easy to build or
you can buy them. Like these:

   But I would put more overhang on the roof.
