Default Remote Temperature reading for greenhouse

I had plans to monitor the temperature in my greenhouse with a remote temperatue senser. I have two of them and have used them in the past for simular tasks. I think my greenhouse is blocking the signal. Both of my transmitters refuse to transmit while inside the greenhouse. Here is a pick of my greenhouse.



It's really a big wire cage. I think what I need is a transmitter that has a remote senser so that I can place the transmitter outside and position the thermocouple inside connected by wire. I haven't really even looked to see if something like this is availble but I'll bet it is. I'd also be willing to bet that it's expensive. Both of my sensors are made by Oregan Scientific and have worked semi reliably and semi accuratley. Does anybody else have this problem?
