DIY Storage box for the scope?

[malau (David)]

I have a f/5 (skywatcher) scope and thinking to get a plastic storage box to keep it when I dont use it and make sure it is dry and away from dust. However cant find any storage box can fit. Anyone can give me some idea/suggestions?

Thanks

What sort of "plastic" box do you mean ? - Pelican boxes come to mind, expensive of course, they make all sorts of shapes and sizes...I have my 130mm refractor in one and another one contains my AZEQ-6 mount... as I said they cost quite a bit but then again so does your scopes etc...
cheers

Bigger than that and you probably can't lift it with scope inside.
