I double "weather resist" all my various plastic outdoor cct boxes/baluns 
etc  by positioning them in such a way that I can slip an an approprately 
sized upside-down plastic soft drinks bottle (cut off at neck) over the top. 
1or 2 gal square'ish plastic detergent containers for large boxes etc. 
Again, cut-off at the filler end. Had no failures at all in past 5 years, 
not even with the plastic bottles ;-).
