I’m going to put up shed against the side of this outdoor socket. It’s going to be too close to open the lid enough to get a plug in. I’d rather not move the box to the front of the building so…

Does anyone know of a particularly low-profile outdoor socket box?
If I did have to move it, what’s the best looking outdoor socket box that’d look good against the weathered wooden surface? Ideally black. Saw some Gira bits online but were Euro plugs and not IP66 rated.

This, or there must be a cheaper similar version somewhere.

If you can’t open it then you can never change whatever is plugged into it, and if the fuse in the plug blows, you have to move the shed?

Edit: you need to buy a £65 plug that fits into it! Maybe not

Spendy plug just for weather proofing, standard plugs ok to use if it's dry?

That could look good on the front of the building, thanks. Will have a look if there’s a cheaper version.

Lower profile question was to find something that could be opened enough to get the plug in and out in the current location. Tools etc. Not an ideal spot for a shed but the only spot!
