Many factors must be considered when choosing an enclosure for your specific requirements. Choosing the wrong type or design could be a costly mistake. Here are a few items that will impact your enclosure design:

Is it an indoor or outdoor application
Is there a specific NEMA rating requirement
How large does the enclosure need to be; height, width and depth
What will the environment be like; i.e. hot, cold, corrosive chemicals, salt air, etc.
Will there be any security or potential vandalism issues
Will the enclosure need to support a specific weight load
What material do you want used for fabricating the enclosure
How will the enclosure be installed; i.e. pole mount, free standing, wall mount, etc.
What type of protection will the equipment inside the enclosure require
Will the enclosure require ventilation; passive or forced
Will your electronics need to be air-conditioned or heated
Do you need access from more than one side
Do the doors need to be hinged on the right or the left
