Go to your local electrical supply house, get their catalog on NEMA
Electrical boxes. Nema rated boxes are expensive but very strong and
waterproof. They come in a variety of sizes and are built like safes.
There are waterproof, fireproof, explosion proof, vapor proof or almost
any spec you could ask for.
