Waterproof
Ordered product to keep the two extension cord ends out of the weather. Box is easy to use and once you get it closed and the sides latched down, it is water proof. I have it in a spot that sprinklers run twice a day, when I opened up today to check inside the box, it was completely dry inside. Great product, great price

Solid, Works Perfectly
I bought this box for my above ground pool equipment. I needed a box that would protect one incoming power supply line and also protect 2 input plugs and a timer. This box works perfectly. It has ample room to hold a large plug with GFI, a timer and about 10 feet of power cord. I ordered the large size, and am glad I did. I have no trouble keeping all the power inside and don't have to worry about squeezing it in. The cover is very secure. I like the snap lock mechanisms that keep it tight. They work very well. I know this because a blowout of my salt generator that spewed gallons and gallons of water over this box had no impact at all. It was dry inside, totally dry. I intend to bury this box in the spring when I re-open my pool, and am certain it will hold up to that just fine. The price was fair, the delivery was fast, the company did a great job. I would buy again if I needed and can recommend it without reservation.

Great solution for outdoor above-ground pool
Our problem was that we needed a way to have a large GFC plug on a short electric cord from a pool pump connect to an outside socket on our house 40 feet away on a timer. We needed a way to connect the plug to a grounded extension cord that had to be water-resistant - from both any rain and splashes from the pool.This solution is reasonably unobtrusive in it's grass green color and size. It utilizes a combination of an overhang on the lid, electric cord guides and rubberized seals to minimize any potential for water to enter the box. The cord / GFC plug is connected inside the box and the lid just seals on top. Although we do have earwig bugs that appear to like the shade in the box, we have not had any issues with water entering even after weathering (pun intended) multiple thunderstorms and torrential rain.A simple solution, though it works well. On reflection we likely could have picked the smaller size, though we are now utilizing the larger capacity for multiple outside cords and believe this will work well for outside decorations for the holidays.If this review was helpful, please mark it as so to help others find it. If it wasn't helpful, feel free to mark it so, though I'd appreciate any constructive feedback on how it could be more helpful for you and others. Feel free to ask any other questions not stated here.Thanks, Mike

Good size and sturdy
Great water resistant cord box for outdoor lights in my case. Only issue was it was tough to seal up/close but it worked OK.

Peace of mind for outdoor power connections
I use a lot of lighted yard decorations for the holidays--mostly Halloween and Christmas, when my area gets a good amount of rain and/or snow. I use more simple cord protectors for single plug-to-plug connections, but needed something larger to accommodate a power strip. The medium box fit a 3-plug power strip (about 8in long), with plenty of room to accommodate the plug heads & some of the extension cord length as well. Closing it while keeping all your cords in the proper spots could be a little difficult, but not too bad--my goal was to set everything up once then never open it again until it was time to take down my decorations, so I was willing to spend the time to get everything lined up perfectly. I also had some single plug-to-plug connections for lights that have very boxy plugs/connectors that were too big for the simple cord protectors--I used the small-sized box for those, and they fit with plenty of room. They were out for about 6 weeks and saw some pretty heavy rainfall--water collected on the top of the boxes but no moisture was inside when I opened them up to take down my decorations. I definitely recommend investing in these--not only does it perform well, but it brought me good peace of mind knowing that all my decorations were protected from the elements.

Nice Box!
I got the small size, and it’s an awesome weatherproof box. I used it to house a Nest Camera power supply, and I appreciate the extra room to store all the extra cable from the install. It’s easy to latch closed, feels very sturdy, and overall, a great buy!

Worked wonderfully!
Even after reading all the great reviews and ordering this, I was still worried how weather proof it really would be. We had some rainy days, but after the rain let up, I'd open the box to make sure it was dry inside and it was every time! I used it for my inflatable Halloween decoration, so of course I didn't use it while it was raining, but it was always safe to use right after it stopped raining. Great box and I'll use it for my Christmas decoration too!Edit 12/23/2023:The small box (green) worked great for Halloween and Christmas last year, and again for Halloween this year, but I got more Christmas decorations this year, so I bought the medium. (black)The small could fit my 3-prong extension cord with 2 plugs plugged in, but not 3. The medium is so much bigger, so there's plenty of room! I guess I should've gotten the medium from the start, but now I have 2 boxes. :)

A must have for Christmas displays
So I am now up to 4 of these boxes. I "know" that technically its ok to leave Christmas decorations plugged into extension cords and just laying on the ground, but that little voice in my head still screams "Electricity and water don't mix!", esp during the winter when heavy rain and snow make it more moist than normal. These boxes are amazing, on one end, you have notch (I call it line in), and that feeds the surge protector I put in, then there are 4 other notches where you can bring other things you want to power up. The lid clamps on, everything stays bone dry. There is plenty of room inside for cables, surges, and even splitters. I even have Phillips Hue plugs on the inside so I can selectively power down the inflatables on windy days, while leaving the rest of the lights up. I know they are pricey for a weatherbox, but they are amazing, and I'll keep buying them (I have 4 larges, and several of the smalls)
