You can get metal NEMA 4 and NEMA 12, gasket sealed boxes made by
Hoffman. There should be no deformation issues. The only
possible issue could be the temperature of the gasket, but it would be
held in place by the clamped cover. Have the gaskets had an issue
with the deformed PVC boxes? <br><br>

that is an interesting reference, well done.<br>
what about if the box is under the panels and only experiencing ambient
temperatures?<br>
That is kind of my current preference when I have to use pvc due to the
deforming issues...<br>
since the panels are movable by unbolting the slow-release mounting
system, it is alright.<br><br>
