Great product to keep sprinkler gear waterproofed in rain. Has a solid seal and works great when it’s raining to protect equipment.

I recently purchased the Orbit Outdoor Mounted Controller Timer Box Cover and I am very satisfied. The cover fits perfectly over my smart Wi-Fi connected outdoor-mounted irrigation controller, protecting it from the elements and extending its lifespan and the harsh elements where the sprinkler controller is placed.The grey color of the cover is sleek and blends in nicely with the outdoor environment and the side of my home. The material is durable and weather-resistant, ensuring that my controller is protected from rain, snow, and mostly importantly for me sun damage.One of the things I like most about this cover is how easy it is to install. It came with all the necessary hardware and instructions, and I was able to install it in just a few minutes with a screw driver and a concrete drill bit.I used Velcro on the inside of the box and the back of my new smart sprinkler controller incase to keep it always looking new and incase I ever need to remove the new controller installed in the box.Overall, I highly recommend the Orbit Outdoor Controller Box Cover for anyone who wants to protect their irrigation controller from the elements. It's a simple and affordable solution that will help extend the lifespan of your controller and save you money in the long run.Another plus is the lock, I read another reviewer that complained the lock was easy to bypass. Mine installed perfectly fine and it appears someone would need to break the box to gain access.Thumbs up!5 Stars

Very good quality enclosure. For outdoor controls (like irrigation controls for RainMachine, Orbit etc) You can't ask for much more -- and you won't find any better at a cheaper price. Buy with confidence.Be aware the box is quite deep with a mounting panel dividing the depth in half. This is, I suppose, to support routing wiring behind the panel. Although irrigation and similar controllers don't run the wires that way -- they come in the bottom and go straight to the controller connections. I have trouble imagining an application that needs the amount of space they provide. Perhaps CAT5 if you wanted to put a switch in an enclosure? In any case, you have a lot of room behind that panel if you need it.One possible downside is the depth of the box means you need a bit more width to get your fingers in for some applications. For example: I bought this for a RainMachine controller and thought I'd have way more width than needed. In practice, the RainMachine buries their front panel releases deep on the sides. So you have to get your fingers almost under the edges to remove the front panel. This means this box was just the right size -- any smaller and I couldn't get my fingers in around the RainMachine to open its panel.My point: Check the dimensions -- AND access needs -- for the controller you'll be installing. You've probably got way more space than you expect -- but maybe not :) This is in no way a negative for the box. Just some perspective when sizing your job. I evaluated multiple enclosures and this one was the best all around fit BY FAR without spending $100+.

Exactly, what I wanted. I did not need the GFCI as my outside plug already had one.Looks great outside and was easy to install. Definitely a 5 rating.

I purchased this Orbit weather proof box to keep my new RainMachine Pro-8 irrigation controller/timer out of the elements. It worked exactly as advertised. The box is sturdy, weather resistant and I trust it will protect my RainMachine for years to come from the harsh weather we get in Phoenix AZ.The case is made to hold Orbit and RainBird controllers and has many pre-drilled holes for that. However, for those of you who want to use this with the RainMachine Pro-8, you will have to drill one additional mounting hole in the case to install the RainMachine with two screws. Piece of cake.The case comes with a GFCI outlet that will allow you to plug in your controller. The outlet was easy to take out of the case so you can wire it up properly. That too was easy. (But if you do not know what you are doing around electricity and wiring up outlets, please hire an electrician.)

Bought this for a Rachio Gen 1. Solid box, nice to have the GFCI inside so that the Rachio's power supply is not exposed.Downsides for the Rachio to be aware of (since this appears as a "buy together" with the Gen 1):- No hole match for the screws in the mount plate- Will have to drill a large hole in the mount plate to pass wires through to access the Rachio mount- Will have to turn the controller 90 degrees (I did -90 to put the Rachio's plug on top where I found more space)Took me a while to get it mounted properly but as long as you know ahead of time that this is a very generic box, and you take your time to line it up right, this is a quality piece and having an internal GFCI outlet is great.
