Hi cdillon. Welcome to ACL. Would assist members if you can provide a bit more detail on the enclosure sought. IP rating , size, capacity, gland requirements etc

Welcome to ACL.
The type and size of enclosure that you're after will effect the size. I use super cheap boxes (not enclosures) for a lot of my stuff because I can. The "gland boxes" that I have on my site are a fairly cheap option for decent quality enclosures and the 3 4 way glands in them are ideal for pigtails.

Thanks AAH, in the end I went with a box from bunnings, it has uv rating and a large lip on the box and lid. grommets from jaycor for cables. Ill check your site out for what you have done with your enclosures

Welcome to ACL. Sometimes a simple plastic container can be used, even if not 100% waterproof, but you can easily cover with a corflute box made to look like a present or similar prop to add some more festive cheer.
