    I was wondering if anyone knows of a reasonably priced weatherproof box to house prop timers and controllers. I have been making my own but thought there may be something better out there.

    I just use tupperware flip it over and screw them into wood then silcone over the screwholes. You can find all sorts of sizes I had a bunch of old deli(sandwich meat) containers and they work great.

    I'll second the tupperware (or better yet the cheap stuff). Just be careful not to make your holes too big & don't skimp on the silicone.

    I ordered these. Very happy with them. They hold the LOR controlers no problem. (also use the Tupperware..)

    I picked up a bunch of small Pelican cases at a swap meet years ago and have been using those to house prop controllers. They have worked out very well and I would recommend them if you can find some at a reasonable price.
