Oversized New Work Electrical Box
 
Does anyone know of an over-sized, single-gang, new work, electrical box? The
standard ones with the swing out tabs are too small. The guy who re-sided my
house with Hardiplank cut the opening for the outside outlet too large. I'm
trying to avoid having to replace the piece of Hardiplank.

*Without seeing it I can't advise what the best way to go is, but Arlington
Industries does make oversized boxes for outdoor receptacles. Check he

You're correct. I definitely meant old work. My intentions were honorable.
