    Your timer should be 3 feet above the ground. I guess since your covered there it wont matter much for your install.

    Hi ZacGTV, You are correct about keeping the transformer above the ground. Thanks for pointing that out to all the viewers! This particular deck, is already about 8 ft off the ground, but I still usually hang the transformer fairly high above the deck floor too if possible.
