down. Any recommendations for cheaper IP66/67 boxes that will be
robust and durable enough, and which will be a good deal less that £60
in total?

I should add that this cable is to run along a garden border about a
foot off the ground.

plus lid, gasket, screws and outdoor gland pack.


Wouldn't they be difficult to seal completely? And,in my experience,
galvanised fittings always rust around the threads.

I know that they wouldn't be quite as robust, but wouldn't strong
plastic boxes be better overall?
