Abstract
A switch or outlet box is formed with a substantially continuous channel around the front edges of the side walls of the box. The channel opens in the same direction as the box interior. A cover closes both the box and the channel, the cover having side walls which lie outwardly of the channel. The cover is dimensioned to loosely fit over the box so that gaps are formed to facilitate drainage of water from the channel. A latch structure holds the cover on. A hinged lid fits over a similar wall structure on the cover.
