This is what I've been searching for and it is great! I recently installed low voltage outdoor lighting. I used the LED Low Voltage Outdoor Landscape Cast Aluminum LED Deck Light 12V AC/DC 2W (6-Pack), 3754WW x 6 and for power the Malibu 120 Watt Power Pack with Sensor and Weather Shield for Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Spotlight Outdoor Transformer 120V Input 12V Output 8100-9120-01. And for a sound system the Pyle Home Marine Car Amplifier - 4-Channel 400 Watt RMS 4 OHM Stereo & Waterproof - Wireless Bluetooth Receiver Audio Speaker w/LCD (PFMRA450BW). Since it is a marine amp, it was what I wanted for outdoor porch/deck use. Due to our landscaping, the lighting control unit and amplifier had to sit next to our wall (kind of behind) and close to the ground. I tried, unsuccessfully, to build a table out of some scrap Trex decking to elevate it a bit, but it looked bad. I left the lighting power attached outside on two screws hanging, like it was designed, but it was very low to the ground. I had used a 9"x9"x3" OUTDOOR CABLETEK ENCLOSURE to house the amplifier but after some heavy rain checked and it had leaked some. It didn't effect the amp, as it was a "marine" or water resistent enclosure on it, but still, I wanted it dry. Also the gray stood out some and this black does not show. This is May-June 2018 in western NC and we have had 16" of rain recently, so I needed something water resistant at least. I opened the box after a couple days use and found some condensation inside, but no leakage. Since we have had 98% recently this was no surprise. I also connected the power on both of these to a wireless controller, Outdoor Smart Wi-Fi Plug ,OMOTON Wireless Socket, IP44 weatherproof 1 in 2 individual. I really like everything I put together at this point and I am very happy with the results and performance so far. I'm not being paid or compensated for any of these reviews, I just search for stuff that works and depend on other reviewers when I make selections, so I try and return the favor when I find stuff that works for me. I'll modify the review if I get any problems.This is large enough to hold a surge protector and is a very tight seal from the rain.Larger replacement for existing box - works very wellnice and does the job perfectly. this is just a box no powerstrip included, will hold a nice size powerstrip for lots of plugsThese boxes are great for sealing off connections. High quality seals around the cables, and a tight lid.As describedBulky plastic box with less than desired latches. Pricey for plastic boxBought a new pool for the kids this summer (what summer, I hear you ask? There was ONE day at the very start of September) so I thought I was clever and filled this pool, that my 3m square gazebo won’t fit over, from the hot tap on my shower. Plugged the pump into the Dri-box and we were ready to go. The pool was great blah blah blah, really warm water (after it had taken 7 hours to fill it (5 hours cold fill, 2 hours hot).Kids go back to school, weather not warm enough to use pool again and it has a leak somewhere so let it naturally empty. The Dri-box is still protecting the pump plug nicely.Meanwhile, back in the house, the pump goes on my boiler (too much hot water putting pressure on & eventually it gave up the ghost. Unlike the usual bad luck I have, it was just after I’d had a shower, rather than before or worse still, during, but I digress...), call the insurance company and have a week long argument about why I haven’t had the boiler serviced during lockdown (I’m shielding and my gas man is also because of his wife), eventually they come out, brilliant. Hot water again... pressure drops... call insurance company again, they send an engineer who says ok, expansion vessels gone and need changing, will have to order them and come fit them one day next week. End of the week arrives and no expansion vessel. Still pressurising the boiler by hand to keep heating and hot water on. The plug in the Dri-box is still protected and dry in it’s weatherproof box.Another week passes and I call the engineer, who is 100 miles away, but ‘closest’ according to insurance company. They text back to tell me engineer isn’t coming as work not authorised by insurance company? Speak to someone higher up than the customer services dude who’s working from home with his cat purring as it climbs across his lap, he’s slurping a cup of something hot while telling his dog to stop barking, in the background. Dog must’ve turned round, seen cat on his dude’s lap, cos you suddenly hear Rover’s 4 heavy paws pelting across dude’s laminate floor and Tiger lets out a big shriek, at which point I’m guessing he stuck his claws out and into dude’s legs cos dude gives a muffled shriek, the type of scream someone gives when they’ve been sliced by Edward Scissorhands whilst they were drinking a hot mug of something (I’m guessing tea, he sounded like a tea drinker and I’m not certain I didn’t hear the faint noise of a rich tea biscuit being crunched when he answered the phone?). Of course Tiger jumps to a place of safety and starts to wash himself as he can’t be certain when the last time dude washed his hands, so he could be dirty.Anyway, person above him says they do have to come and leaves me reassured that she’ll sort it (no tea being slurped or pets being chased on this phone call. Very professional).So engineer texts to say he’ll be there on Monday. Brilliant. In the meantime I ask my 17yo son to pack the pool away as it’s killing the grass below it (in all honesty, I’ve asked him to do it every day now for at least a week and been met by ‘eurgh’ and ‘sigh’, but I’m disabled and can’t do it myself, so I keep ‘reminding’ him daily) and he packs the pump away, removing the plug from the Dri-box, which is still working a treat and hasn’t let any water in. In fact, it is so good he decides to leave the extension lead plugged in in the garage and the Dri-box housing the plug end for a few more weeks, just to check how watertight it really is!Sunday night I realise I’ve got hospital on Monday when engineer is coming, so I arrange for someone in my bubble to house sit and let him in. Before I leave I spray everywhere I think he might touch with a thick layer of anti bac as I know he’s not wearing a mask or gloves.Thanks for reading. I give the Dri-box 5 ?, my ideal boiler, the insurance company and the engineer’s company all only get 1 ? to share between them!We have bought a number of these Dri boxes in the past and needed a larger one so bought this version. The box arrived quickly, the day after we placed the order. We are Amazon Prime member so delivery was free. The box itself is fairly sturdy, with exits for 5 cables. We bought it to house a 6 gang extension lead as we wanted to consolidate our CCTV camera plugs into one central location. The boxed works well for this purpose, with the extension lead laying diagonally in the box on it’s side. The clips on the side were very hard to secure the box, but we’d rather this than they be loose and let moisture in.Weatherproof - we cannot comment on this at the moment as we have only just taken delivery. We have placed it in a relatively dry protected area. However, our experience of the smaller boxes in this range is extremely positive.Firstly this is not tall enough for any plugs that aren't the flat regular type. If they are raised up like a lot of our outdoor Xmas lights they will be too tall for the box once you've plugged them in to the extension plug. Plus they will only fit one of the round style extension plugs in unless you stack them which again then becomes too tall for the box to close. There is no closing mechanism on the box, you just kind of place the lid in top. It doesn't lock in to place at all so you will need to put something heavy on it because the box and it's lid are light. The design of the lid acts to collect water so you have to pour a load of water off it before opening it up which seems dangerous as the chance of drips getting in is fairly high. We make sure we turn off the power before taking the lid off. We couldn't really use it for what we wanted it for so ended up plugging our Xmas lights in through our letterbox and forefitting the use of our front door. Back to the drawing board for next year.Got this basically because I am a cheapskate! Recently got a Plug-In Hybrid, and don't currently want to pay to get an external charging point installed, so I needed something that would protect my Type 1 charging blob form the weather whilst I charge up my car.This product (in the 330mm size) was recommended by the Mitsubishi PHEV Owners BBS, and, indeed the charging unit, and the end of a 1-way 13A extension lead, fits comfortably in the box - and I can vouch that it is protected from even direct rain whilst it is in there.As I say it "does exactly what is says on the tin".Only a few semi-downsides:The plastic latches that hold the lid on do seem very flimsy, and I'm hoping that the snapping sounds they make on open/close are intentional, and not indicative of them being likely to fail - they hold the lid well, but don't feel like they are intended for many open/close cycles.In the required orientation, the lid has a raised lip around it that causes water to pool - whilst none makes it into the box, it is a little bit of a concern that the design doesn't allow this water to drain externally - though I've never had it get inside (you do need to remember to upend the box prior to opening it).The rubber pads that form the weather seal on the cable entries are prone to falling out, which is a pain....The documentation says that there are locations where tie-wraps can be used to provide a "security seal", but doesn't say where these are, and I've yet to find them - given my charger costs hundreds of pounds to replace, it would be nice to be able to put a few small padlocks on the box.....But, overall, it suits my purposes, and I'd be glad to have any kind of outdoor electrics (pond pump, Christmas lights, Halloween stuff etc.) in it and exposed to the elements for an extended period. And it is a LOT cheaper than having a new 32A spur and "intelligent" charging point fitted!I bought this for an outdoor heater to use with a cable reel and yay it fits !!! however, the instructions are bobbins for the large ones. Firstly there are no holes for the cable ties to go through, which by the way weren't enclosed in plastic bag (maybe that's why) anyhow, the instructions say refer to fig 2 for to fit retaining lugs, there isn't a fig 2, only fig 2A and fig 2B, (perhaps I'm being a tad pedantic) I digress, they show you a picture of where the lugs go and refer to the underside of the box I cannot see how they fit, however if I look closely on the top of the box there are two holes in front of some spongy bits (fab description I know) so I've placed them in there and they fit, therefore I presume that's where they should go. The outside clips to close the lid are extremely hard to close which, on a positive note is good and makes it waterproof. My score reflects the poor instructions, apart from that I'm really pleased with the item.
