I need to run a pool pump outdoors with an all weather extension cord. I also have string lights and lamps and other outdoor items I can plug into outdoor type receptacle with enclosures that hinge at each outlet. These are likely not designed to safely use them while its raining or continuously.
How can one cover the receptacles in a manner that allows things such as (all weather) lights and motors to be plugged in while the cover stays closed? I'm in Charleston, SC btw.

The device you're after is called a while in use cover, or "bubble cover" more informally. Get an extra duty one -- they're sturdier than the regular, cheapo flavor.
