Does anyone know of an over-sized, single-gang, new work, electrical box? The standard ones with the swing out tabs are too small. The guy who re-sided my house with Hardiplank cut the opening for the outside outlet too large. I'm trying to avoid having to replace the piece of Hardiplank.
I goggled that and came up with nothing, you could oversize it some more and go with a 2 gang
How much too big? You might be able to use a Bell box if you can figure out how to support it.
*Without seeing it I can't advise what the best way to go is, but Arlington Industries does make oversized boxes for outdoor receptacles. Check here:

Maybe I'm showing my ignorance, but aren't boxes with swing out tabs used in remodeling, not new-work, Just asking..

You're correct. I definitely meant old work. My intentions were honorable.
