Sounds like what you are looking for is a NEMA 4X electrical enclosure. NEMA
4 is water tight. X is for corrosion resistant. They are available in
non-metallic and stainless steel. They can have a bolt-on or hinged cover
and are available in many different sizes. Also, they can be expensive.
Hoffman and Carlon are 2 brand names that come to mind. There are others.
You could try contacting an electrical distributor in your area and asking
what they carry or can order.
Below is one link that might be helpful as a source and what is available.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Weatherproof Containers
I am looking for a source that supplies plastic or fiberglass boxes for
external use.
At the moment, I want to mount an Array Solutions SixPak antenna relay box
at a tower base. I content with salt spray and general coastal wx, including
UV. I need the container to be as weatherproof as possible. Would also like
a sealing front cover that can be opened to access the SixPak unit.
Additionally, I would like to deep enough to allow control and coax cable
entry through the bottom.
Also would be interested in any ideas anyone has come up with to weather
protect the hand winches used on crankup towers and the layover fixtures.
Additionally, does anyone know the manufacturer/model of the hand winch used
with the old Hy-Gain HG-70HD crankup? It is different than the K1550 on the
layover fixture I have.
Suggestions as to sources would be appreciated.
Don W7WLL
