Regarding the weight, see

For water-tightness, the top overlapped the sides on mine and other wise
are spot welded so not watertight, but I think two coats of latex paint
and an added drip edge essentially makes them water-resistant.
Certainly never IP65 fire hose proof. Then I really didn't need
gasketed sealing as would be needed with exposed printed circuit boards
in a real Hoffman wash down proof enclosure. It depends on the models
and assembled vs knocked down and maker. I don't remember where mine
came from, best to go look.
Including this large shack entry box, I've always wanted a larger box
once all cables, bonding plates, arrestors, chokes, etc were installed.
Then there is always another antenna coax or control line or choke
needed later.
btw I bolted mine to some PT 4x4's sitting on precast concrete post ends.

One other solution for large boxes is to use a steel office cabinet with
doors. Throw away the shelves. Really cheap at auctions or used dealers.
$199 for this one:

I used a standard electrical PVC box from Lowes. Worked well, but too small,
crowded with arrestors etc. Definitely waterproof. Two questions for Grant
KZ1W:
(1) Do you know the weight. I could not find it.
(2) Your opinion, please, how watertight compared to a standard
electrical PVC box.
Thanks.
