The control box’s dimensions are 30 inches by 25 inches. Therefore, the perimeter of the box is 30 inches + 25 inches + 30 inches + 25 inches = 110 inches. There are 12 inches per foot. 12 goes into 110 nine times, with two inches left over. Therefore, 9 feet and 2 inches of weatherstripping is needed.
