The taymac outdoor outlet cover is suitable and reliable and fits well with your daily purpose. This gasket keeps the entire inner plug area dry even in very prolonged wet or freezing conditions. It is used to have the traditional spring loaded covers on the walls and outlets. The sides of the unit expand sort of like an accordion so you can expand or compress to get the perfect fit for your plug while also keeping the elements away from the outlet. It is easy to install, and the lock out feature works as expected.
These are well built and come with a variety of cover plate options. The foam keeps out bugs, allows water to drain (open cell) and compresses/ expands around any cord. It is designed for protection against water. It mounts on a regular single electrical box.
Why We Like This:
Easy to install and works great in the rain
Easy to install and good for a house with kids
You have more room for electrical cords, gasket, and mounting hardware

Not everyone likes to purchase receptacle for their regular usage, but the sealproof outlet box would be an anomoly. This is just the cover, you need a 2 gang weather proof box as well. There is plenty of room and mounting is flexible. The 120 volt outlets are protected from a power run inside the shed. There is a gasket at the base designed to mate with a 4" double electrical outlet box. The cut outs on the bottom of the box are big enough to allow multiple cords to fit through without any issues.
This screws into the receptacle box so it is almost always better to match them up correctly even if you are only using one of the openings. It should come with several panels, for different configurations. It fits full size padlock and also includes a gasket and mounting hardware.

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate receptacle. The taymac flush mount outdoor receptacle is exactly that - it's a simple receptacle that hits all the right notes. It's big enough for 2 heavy extension cords, but has no chance of keeping bugs out. It works well to shield the elements. Everything fits and it keeps it nice/dry during heavy rain. There are "punch outs" in several locations (e.g., top, side, bottom) to route the cable into the gang.
This is an excellent product & serves it's purpose well. It fits the large cord and the depth needed for the plug and cord bend. It will not accommodate a 90 degree plug without grinding the plastic enclosure.
Why We Like This:
Easy to install and fits most extension cords
Comes with different plates depending on application
Works perfectly for cords that don't bend as easily
Very functional and holds by power generator plug inside for a piece of mind

If you often find yourself scrambling for appropriate and satisfactory receptacle, sealproof flush mount outdoor receptacle should be your first option for buying. There are lots of extra pieces to make this a truly "universal" waterproof cover for switches, outlets of various sizes and shapes. There are ‘punch outs’ on the horizontal and vertical planes to run your cords through. The Hinge pin is a long thin plastic piece with the same grey color as the plate. It has inserts for both standard (round-ish) and gfci (rectangular) receptacles.
It comes with an adhesive foam seal.
Why We Like This:
Best waterproof cover for an outlet that's always in use
Comes with extra covers for different plug types
Sturdy construction and made out of excellent plastic
Very handy to have the hinges on both the top or side alternatives
