Utility Box Cover

A cover for outdoor utility boxes, the cover comprising:

• a cloth material adapted to enclose an outdoor utility box, the cloth material further including:
• a cylindrical top that corresponds to a top portion of the outdoor utility box, the top being semi-rigid;
• at least one side attached to the cylindrical top at a rigid seam along each edge of the cylindrical top, the at least one side descending therefrom toward a flexible material at an end of the at least one side to form a cylindrical opening corresponding to the cylindrical top;
• the at least one side also including an adjoining strip descending from one edge of the cylindrical top, the adjoining strip having a length less than that of the at least one side, so that the at least one side attaches along both edges of the adjoining strip along its length;
• a fastener opening distal from the cylindrical top, the fastener opening formed between non-adjoining edges of the at least one side that extend beyond the length of the adjoining strip;
• and
• a fastener affixed to the each non-adjoining edge of the at least one side for securing the cover in place over the outdoor utility box,
• whereby the fastener opening and the adjoining strip combine to provide flexibility sufficient to enlarge a portion of the cylindrical opening for extending the cover over and removing the cover from the outdoor utility box.
