IF you desire a waterproof mast enclosure,
used by SSB-Electronic GmbH for their mast pre-amplifiers and downconverters

I purchased empty mast enclosures (2) from SSB Germany, about 10 years ago.
UK-based Uputronics sells a Mast Mountable Enclosure for £34.34
They have a number of other useful items.

The other sourcing option,
are outdoor low-voltage enclosures used in the CATV, Telco industry, and Electrical trades. A well-stocked electrical supply house will have Plastic & Metal boxes.
Outdoor Patio Deck resellers sell an enclosure for low-voltage patio lights.

Perfect Vision enclosure for TV/CATV users.

I have “re-purposed” obsolete CATV (1970/1989) aluminum “line enclosures” used on their outdoor distribution lines — these are very nice. Rarely sold at hamfests, as “plug-n-play” crowd did not understand potential usage.
Many of these units were replaced over last 20 years as Cable industry updated their systems in 1990s for 2-way amplifiers (Internet / Home Security service delivery).
