-*Although these instructions don't include the addition of an alter shield, one could easily be added.  I'm not sure the best way, there are several options.  Maybe the easiest would be to find a supplier for these:<br/>
+*Although these instructions don't include the addition of an alter shield, one could easily be added... check out the bottom picture.  Made these in 2013 for the NGEE project in Barrow.  One design I'd do differently from in the picture is to have the precip bucket be on a separate vertical pipe from the anchor pipe.  It was difficult to get close to the center of the shield using this method.  Maybe the easiest would be to find a supplier for these:<br/>
 '''[http://www.hollaender.com/?page=speedrail&r=1|No. 106 Dbl. Side Outlet Cross]'''<br/>
 ... and pair that with four of the crossover fittings mentioned above in the materials section.  It looks like (from pictures) the alter shields use 3/4" pipe so buy more 3/4" crossover fittings.
 * Use this stand for other stuff like radiation / snow depth.  Add one more 3/4" cross over fitting and a 5" horizontal pipe.  Increase the length of the vertical pipe.

 I haven't worked with the Gieck stand but in 2010 cooked up an alternative suitable for any type of terrain (figure 5 on the right).  Although only built so far without alter shields, they would be easy to add on.
