I have two Stahlin 16x14x8, one on each tower with 3" and 2" conduit
entry, which work but are too small to get everything inside and still
work on them. Otherwise they are fine after 6 years. Replacing them
with 20x18x9 also Stahlin via McMaster 7740K181. Catalog says
"submersible" but received was the standard hinge door model and the pdf
is correct https://www.mcmaster.com/#7740k181/=1e4mwyq
Most fiberglass enclosures will shed glass fibers after a few years in
the sun so it is best to paint them as soon as they weather a bit or
clean off the mold release and paint immediately.
For a really large enclosure I needed at the shack end, the NEMA types
were way too expensive. So I bought an office supply cabinet with doors
48x48x18 and gave it a couple of coats of paint. With an added drip
edge over the doors it is dry, clean, and rust free after 3 years in WWA
rains. 3x 3" conduits into the bottom, 3x 3" conduits into shack in the
back, and 1x 3" conduit into the side.

Looking for a fiberglass enclosure about 20"H X 16"W X 8"D to mount on the
tower to hold various terminals, relays, etc. Will add a grounded to the
tower aluminum plate in the box for mounting components. Comparing Stahlin
vs. Allied Moulded. Any experience with either? Any recommendations?
Tnx
