What about a UV rating for those? Have you used any of them in sunlight for
an extended period of time?

There's and even MORE cost effective solution... available at WALMART,
etc...
Consider using the plastic boxes intended for storage of clothes, other
items,
under the bed (sort of like Tupperware).
As long as they have a top that CLIPS / CLAMPS on so the wind can't blow it
off,
they work fine for covers to COAX junction boxes outside, etc, at a cost of
under $10 !!!

I've been using the very same boxes from Home Depot. The 12x12x6 versions
are
40 bucks around here and are darn tough.

They look like PVC junction boxes to me. The onese I have are made by
Carlon
and came from Home Depot:

I think another company makes the ones for Array Solutions.
