DRiBOX – Medium IP55 Weatherproof Outdoor Electrical Connection Box 34 x 22 x 11.7cm – Power Cord Enclosure for Christmas Lights, Timers, Extension Cables, Leads, Reels, Transformers (Medium, Green)

Simple box and quite lightly built. The lid hinges can easily drop off the box but can be replaced in position easily. 4 way socket fits inside with room to spare for my doorbell chime and plugs. A little bit fiddly trying to dress the cables and getting the cable grip to stay in situ before putting the lid on but got there. Like the way the lid umbrellas the exiting cables for further water protection. So far so good.

Excellent dry box for my outdoor lights. Nice and weatherproof and should last for ages. Perfect for my needs.

Functionally, it is perfect. It locks solidly with a clever latching system and prevents water ingress completely. We used it for 1+ years in our back garden in the open without any issues whatsoever (extension lead + 2 USB chargers, so 4 cables coming in and out). I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons: 1. The box is VERY flimsy. It is constructed from a surprisingly paper-thin plastic, you could easily crush it with your fingers - as such, it cannot handle any kind of rough handling and must be placed into a protected area. A medium-sized dog stepping on it will break it. 2. It is very awkwardly shaped (both inside and outside). In particular, the inside area is trapezoid shape, with ribs, significantly narrowing towards the bottom. On the listing, the dimensions are given from the size at the top of the box, not at the bottom. You need to allow AT LEAST 2 cm clearance on all sides if you want to put something deep inside.

Being a retired electronics engineer, I am "supposed" to know that using an old ice-cream box as a not very waterproof box for outdoor Christmas lights is not really a good idea.... So bought this item purely as it was marked as "Amazon's Choice". It arrived a day sooner than expected by a proper courier who handed directly to us. It is large enough for a cable reel, although it is a good idea NOT to have the cable would up if you use tis for fear of overheating. I'm using a simple 4 in line adapter as the lights all have power bricks that are much larger than a mains plug. Assembling the cable clips is simple (and they work well), but it took me a couple of minutes to realise that the lid locks were folded inside the case. Having over come thissenior moment, the box locks very tightly with an O ring on the seal and all the cable inlets are fitted with spong and the lid overlaps so have no doubt it will be totally waterproof even if the garden floods. Very pleased with the item, well made and a good purchase at a reasonable price.

Good box for keeping the electrics dry during 'outdoor lights season'. It's nice and big too, so you can get a fair bit in there (smaller boxes are okay, but getting a socket, a timer, some sort of splitter and then those long transformers all lights seem to have these days into them can be a squeeze - not so with this. One thing I'd say... the lid has two ways to stick down. The first is with the side handles which sort of clip over the top of it, holding it down. The second is some little lugs which clip over the bottom of the rim of the base. Those little lugs are nigh on impossible to fully clip down though. Thankfully, the simpler side handles seem to be more than adequate. Note also there's no way to 'lock' the box, even against an opportunist prankster/family member. All in all though, nice and big, easy to use, very much water proof against the inevitable rain we've had for the last few days.

Quick delivery, fitted my caravan extension lead connectors. Is it robust - not really my kitchen plastic boxes are better, will it last - the hinges are attached to a thin plastic rail that bends when you clip it over the lid and looks as if it could break easily if you remove the lid regularly, does it damage the leads - yes if you insert into the cable clips leaving an 8mm dia cable with grip marks (using clips is optional though, so I found better without). With cables fitted the box didn't tip over that easyWill an IP55 rating satisfy most caravan sites - yes, unless they don't allow multiple lead connection.

Bought a new pool for the kids this summer (what summer, I hear you ask? There was ONE day at the very start of September) so I thought I was clever and filled this pool, that my 3m square gazebo won’t fit over, from the hot tap on my shower. Plugged the pump into the Dri-box and we were ready to go. The pool was great blah blah blah, really warm water (after it had taken 7 hours to fill it (5 hours cold fill, 2 hours hot). Kids go back to school, weather not warm enough to use pool again and it has a leak somewhere so let it naturally empty. The Dri-box is still protecting the pump plug nicely. Meanwhile, back in the house, the pump goes on my boiler (too much hot water putting pressure on & eventually it gave up the ghost. Unlike the usual bad luck I have, it was just after I’d had a shower, rather than before or worse still, during, but I digress...), call the insurance company and have a week long argument about why I haven’t had the boiler serviced during lockdown (I’m shielding and my gas man is also because of his wife), eventually they come out, brilliant. Hot water again... pressure drops... call insurance company again, they send an engineer who says ok, expansion vessels gone and need changing, will have to order them and come fit them one day next week. End of the week arrives and no expansion vessel. Still pressurising the boiler by hand to keep heating and hot water on. The plug in the Dri-box is still protected and dry in it’s weatherproof box. Another week passes and I call the engineer, who is 100 miles away, but ‘closest’ according to insurance company. They text back to tell me engineer isn’t coming as work not authorised by insurance company? Speak to someone higher up than the customer services dude who’s working from home with his cat purring as it climbs across his lap, he’s slurping a cup of something hot while telling his dog to stop barking, in the background. Dog must’ve turned round, seen cat on his dude’s lap, cos you suddenly hear Rover’s 4 heavy paws pelting across dude’s laminate floor and Tiger lets out a big shriek, at which point I’m guessing he stuck his claws out and into dude’s legs cos dude gives a muffled shriek, the type of scream someone gives when they’ve been sliced by Edward Scissorhands whilst they were drinking a hot mug of something (I’m guessing tea, he sounded like a tea drinker and I’m not certain I didn’t hear the faint noise of a rich tea biscuit being crunched when he answered the phone?). Of course Tiger jumps to a place of safety and starts to wash himself as he can’t be certain when the last time dude washed his hands, so he could be dirty. Anyway, person above him says they do have to come and leaves me reassured that she’ll sort it (no tea being slurped or pets being chased on this phone call. Very professional). So engineer texts to say he’ll be there on Monday. Brilliant. In the meantime I ask my 17yo son to pack the pool away as it’s killing the grass below it (in all honesty, I’ve asked him to do it every day now for at least a week and been met by ‘eurgh’ and ‘sigh’, but I’m disabled and can’t do it myself, so I keep ‘reminding’ him daily) and he packs the pump away, removing the plug from the Dri-box, which is still working a treat and hasn’t let any water in. In fact, it is so good he decides to leave the extension lead plugged in in the garage and the Dri-box housing the plug end for a few more weeks, just to check how watertight it really is! Sunday night I realise I’ve got hospital on Monday when engineer is coming, so I arrange for someone in my bubble to house sit and let him in. Before I leave I spray everywhere I think he might touch with a thick layer of anti bac as I know he’s not wearing a mask or gloves. Thanks for reading. I give the Dri-box 5 🌟, my ideal boiler, the insurance company and the engineer’s company all only get 1 🌟 to share between them!

Perfect fit for our application.

Buena caja, si

The seal compound at the cable entry/exit points is amazingly squishy :) :( I accidentally discarded the cable retention bits so it's a little fiddly to close while keeping the cables centered in the seal area... don't throw them out!

Das ist bereits meine zweite Box. Zwischendurch habe ich andere Modelle ausprobiert, aber keine war so geräumig wie diese. Sie bietet genug Platz für eine größere Steckerleiste und sogar für mehrere klobige Stecker. Die Box ist absolut wasserdicht – beide stehen bei mir komplett ungeschützt draußen und funktionieren trotzdem seit langem völlig zuverlässig. Wenn ich wieder eine brauche, dann definitiv erneut dieses Modell.

Well designed product, sturdy and strong plastic. Purchased from Creation et Design Electrique. Even there is one small piece missing, they sent it right away after contacting them. One of the great merchant that is not handled by Amazon directly.
