I built one out of wood, used 1″ x 2″ and 1/4″ plywood.  I lined the inside with shower pan liner.

Hi Mike and John! I made the battery bank box for our 5er out of 3/8″ PVC sofit board, (comes in 4’x8′ sheets) and 1-1/4″ aluminum angle pop-riveted together.

Here is some pictures of our box.

Happy Trails!!!

Thanks for the replies, I think I will do something similar to yours, john. I was thinking of adding a hinged top and then mounting my blue sea switch on the top to switch from my main 6v batteries to my reserve 12 volt battery bank.
