The cable for this outlet is run through the aluminium post. The sleeper behind is not attached to the post, it just sits up against it so there is a gap between the back of the outlet and the wood so it is already somewhat exposed. I understand these outlets are designed for outdoor use but I just want to be sure that it would be OK if exposed to the elements at the back. It already gets rained on a little bit but it will get alot more once the wood is removed.
