Competitor Comparison:
Many competing enclosures are made from thin metal or plastic and lack secure locking systems or weather protection. The AA-ST1 provides superior durability with 12-gauge stainless steel, a lock shroud, and flexible mounting options. Competitors like Orbit or Irritrol do not offer comparable protection or warranty coverage.
