About the size of a men's shoe-box. You can get the mechanical drawing as a .pdf or .dxf file on the BUD website. There are five versions of this box. Three are rated for indoor use, and two are rated for outdoor use. This version is made of ABS plastic, and despite the "O"-ring seal on the cover, is only rated for indoor use. The one I got is labeled "HI Box" Made in Korea. The BUD label that should be inside is not there. Does it mater? Possibly it does. If I was using this box for an install that had to be inspected per FM, NFPA, or local code, they might ask if the box met NEMA standards. Since there is no label I would have no evidence that it was. They are probably all made in Korea, and BUD sells them as their "NBF" product line. This one got out with the Korean markings insted of the BUD label. Same thing. Made of decently heavy material. Hinges and latches are not impressive, and are a likely failure point if used in a rough environment. I have it in service, and it is looking good. If you download the .pdf from BUD industries, you can check out the other versions of this box, including the two rated for outdoor use complete with part numbers. I agree with John Henry James' comment. The screws you need to mount items to the back side are an odd size, (short and fat) and so should be included. I ended up using the odd screws that are made to hold a computer cooling fan to a metal computer case. If you happen to have threaded inserts the correct size, you could install those I guess.

Weatherproof and UV resistant

This is the second box I have purchased from Amazon. First one was purchased about 4 years ago, and recently just purchased another. I use these as a splice box for my ethernet cable for my recently installed security camera at the front of my property. The first box I purchased 4 years ago also houses a WiFi access point as well.

I mounted these boxes on a unistrut frame I buried in the ground (using concrete for stability). I siliconed the bolt holes to prevent ingress of moisture, as I am in Hawaii where the rainfall is tremendous.

The 4 year old enclosure doesn't have any UV degredation, so I know the plastic is made well.

Great outdoor low voltage project box.

Great outdoor enclosure. As others have said, the material is a little thin, but that's what I expected at this price. If I need durability I usually go with metal enclosures. This is perfect for my outdoor low voltage projects.

I bought this battery with the hopes it will fit and it is nearly an exact match with enough room for a charge controller above the battery:

ExpertPower EXP12180 12 Volt 18 Ah Rechargeable Battery with Nuts and Bolts

Remember to put a drain/vent hole on the bottom since SLA and other lead acid batteries don't like to charge in an enclosed container. I either drill a small 1/8" (2mm) hole in the very bottom center if I'm not cutting other holes that act as vents. In this case I mounted a camera to the side of the box and that hole acts as a vent.

Sturdy, waterproof, great closing fasteners.

Used one of these on the front of my pop-up camper to hold the solar charge controller. Survived there for many years, and the charge controller was perfectly protected. See photo of box mounted on the front of the rig...lower driver's side. My new box is to hold my battery maintainer charger for my backup generator. It will live outside forever on the north side of a Rocky Mountain cabin. I have no doubts that it will be good as new 10 years from now.

Great Quality and value exceeds expectations, compared to low purchase price.

The lid latches are strong and solid. The rubber seal around the perimeter of the lid is of a good material and think it will keep the interior dry for years to come. The glossy finish of the box is flawless. This box also has an optional internal panel, sold separately that allows you to bolt components to it. Enclosures of this quality should be selling for more and was very happy with the purchase.

Nice box for the money

Worked good for me. I used it to mount a controller for my LED pool light. Pretty big box, lots of room in it. Only issue I’ve seen is the clips that close it are a little tight, but I guess that’s what keeps the weather out.

Listed for in-door use, for my needs it will be in my attic. You will have to drill/cut any holes.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

Very satisfied with my order, good shipping/packing. Very good box, listed as indoor use, still it is a pretty well sealed box. I will be using it as a junction box, adding cable glands to it (have to drill needed holes) to run Cat6 through into a single exit to enter the house from the attic for a security camera system. It should work perfect for my needs. While it does seem made of good quality plastic, still it is plastic and should be no problems cutting by holes. I will be using a larger section of pvc for the exit out of the bottom of the box. Very good box & service.

Good value for price

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

This product did what I had intended. I placed an electric fence console inside and drilled out holes. Thickness is adequate and it latches tight. It is not water proof and has no knockouts, which I already knew before I bought.
For a simple electrical box, it is a good value.
