Any protection from weather needed for controllers

Something I have seen people do, and have considered it myself, is using tupperware.  You can take the lid off, cut a minor hole in the top for an extension cord to fit through, then make your connections in the piece of tupperware and put the lid on it to keep the snow/rain off it.

I know this doesn't necessarily apply to the controller boxes and those cords, but could be useful for the connections in the yard.

That’s similar to my bucket technique.

For my large singing props I cut a flap in the side and tuck in most excess lights.

I drill drainage holes in the bottom for any moisture that gets in and put the top on.

I then hang it hidden behind my singing props.

Last year with all the rain all buckets were practically dry.

Controller enclosures do not need covers.

That'd be a lot of Tupperware in the yard. My wife would be pissed lol
