After much googling I've still not found what I'm looking for, so
wonder if anyone here knows of any possible sources please? I want a
cheap weatherproof box to contain a low voltage transformer, mains
socket, timer, etc, for my pond light and pump setup. About 12" x 10"
x 8" should be adequate, but bigger is no problem as I can hide it
behind some plants. I'll drill holes for getting the various cables in
(and maybe use cable glands to keep these waterproof, if I can't
improvise something myself).

If it comes to it, I suppose I could make one myself, although I'm not
confident of sealing the lid completely.

I'm not saying I'm tight but ...

If you're going to buy this sort of thing and want to save a few bob
it might be worth waiting until the new year when people have stopped
using them to help festoon their houses with flashing reindeer and
animated santa clauses (bah humbug). Lower demand, lower prices.

One of the larger food-saver type plastic boxes?

Maybe with duct tape around the lid for added waterproofing if necessary

Noticed in a flier that Maplin sell them. Not very cheap, though. But
quite large.

To e-mail, change noise into sound.

Thanks all, much appreciate the helpful replies. About to order the
plastic CPC box suggested by Pete & John, but see 'Awaiting Delivery',
Clearly in great demand despite the financial situation ;-)

I wanted a water proof box for an in door security camera I wanted to try
out
in the garden as a sort of cheap bill oddie winter watch.
I got a plastic box from the local poundshop. Seems to do the trick.
Although I did have to cut a few holes for cables and the lens etc....
