not unless you want to get those mounts redone in a year or two. Mounts need to be kept in an airconditioned bug free environment away from direct sunlight. We don't even recommend garages.

Mount the fresh heads on the patio and let them become euros in place. Will make a nice conversation piece.

If you want outside mounts they can be mounted on formes without hide and just paint the forms works good!
