Temporary Weatherproofing Of Plug Socket

Long Story Short!
Double wall socket will be exposed to the elements for a couple of weeks due to a porch replacement and thunderstorms are possible in the area.
I have covered the sockets with a plastic bag and bin liner followed by Gorilla tape to try to bond the bags over the sockets to the brick wall.
Don't know if this will hold if a storm hits though, i imagine the tape will start peeling off.

I'd lean something on the wall to cover the sockets if it rains. An old table top or door would be ideal.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0
