I have a 240v outlet in my front yard that is rarely used. It is a pain to mow around and I have never had a need of it (installed by previous owners to power a refrigerated truck). I do not want to remove it altogether as It could be useful in the future.
Does anyone know of a solution to place the outlet below ground, maybe in a dry box that could easily be opened and connected to when needed?

You should start by installing a lockout on the breaker that feeds this: so you can turn it off completely. Then you've got your choice of trying to install a vault to hold the device (with attendant moisture problems), or simply disconnecting the outlet, capping the wires and throwing dirt over. Leave some bright colored tape above it, and a note in the breaker box, to aid in a future treasure hunt.
