DRiBOX – Large IP55 Weatherproof Outdoor Electrical Connection Box 40 x 31 x 14.5cm – Power Cord Enclosure for Christmas Lights, Timers, Extension Cables, Leads, Reels, Transformers (Large, Black)

Likes, having used it for many months: price, totally waterproof (at least from rain; I've never submerged them), lightweight, very secure and simple closure system, large enough to accommodate a timer and multiple sockets, more than one pair of cable ports, tough and durable, simple hinge systemDislikes: none, I'd buy these again ... and all the above also applies to a smaller box of the same type, which I also bought, the only difference being that the internals are smaller and there are fewer cable ports, which was what I wanted

Just the job for ornament fountain. Good quality and cheaper than high street stores. Would highly recommend.

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!

I bought the large size of this box and the it was easy to use. The moulds that grip the cables are brilliant. I was concerned about the hinged clamps as they were more pliable than the strong sturdy box. However, they were easy to clamp and seal the box, were strong and kept the contents dry in heavy rain.I would definitely buy from this brand again and have recommended the box to others, including a friend who usually finds fault with most dry boxes.

Great little box, does exactly what it needs to do with minimal fuss, well designed and simple to use. Simplicity in use is important as it makes it easy to have a safe, IP55 rated protected connection.For reference it is big enough to hold a standard 2g extension lead and should be deep enough to house a transformer plug. I would not use it for more than 1 cable per side because that would compromise the sealing around the cables and thus the IP rating.
