The product: Meter box cover
Looking for a new gas or electric meter box cover? This product offers a quick and affordable DIY solution for outside meter boxes and fits on both gas and electric meter boxes. These gas/electrical box covers are a favoured solution, designed to fit over an existing damaged gas meter box or electric meter box where the original is inset into the wall, which is usually the most expensive and disruptive repair. The meter cover can be used for gas or electricity meter box installations with a vent position above / below the meter door, and is suitable for all kinds of weather due its durability.
The difficulty and cost of fixing a damaged box can be huge, but don’t be duped into purchasing a cheaper alternative that will end up being a nightmare to fit and likely to fall apart in days. This box cover is made from high impact engineering grade Thermoplastic polymer material, making it strong and resistant to damage.
