Hard to beat the standard NEMA boxes for outdoor use, like a NEMA 12, 13
or 14. Not cheap, but weatherproof and easy to find at your local
electrical supply house. Available in galvanized, fiberglass and
stainless steel.
I use one at the base of my Rohn 45 tower to hold the lightning arrestors.

Gang,
I've been trying out an antenna arrangement at my QTH that uses a design based
on the IK-STIC 2:

My particular version of the IK-STIC 2 eliminates the telescoping fibergass
pole in favor of a simple wire supported at the peak of my roof. The whole
works has been placed near the side of my house, somewhat concealed from the
street and neighbors.
The antenna is fed with almost 100 ft of coax and has an Elecraft T1 tuner and
BL-1 balun at the feedpoint. I control the T1 using a switch in my shack that's
connected to the T1's jack using almost 100 ft of RG-174.
The whole arrangement seems to work FB for my purposes, and I'm working to make
the whole installation durable enough to stand up to the elements.
Have any of you remoted your T1? How have you enclosed it or otherwise
protected it from the weather? I've been looking around for a suitable
enclosure but nothing I've seen has really grabbed me thus far.
