Pro tip from the counter
For an outdoor receptacle that will have something left plugged in, such as a block heater, pond pump or seasonal lights, an in-use cover like this one is what inspectors expect to see rather than a flat flip-lid cover. Confirm with your local inspection authority for the specific location.
Best for: white vinyl siding homes, new subdivision exteriors, builders' standard outdoor receptacles, decks and front porches
