A lightweight and durable utility pull box for storing splices and junctions of underground coaxial cables, electrical wires, and optical fibers, having an elongated main body portion and end walls. The elongated main body portion is made of durable and lightweight plastic material for providing chemical resistance and structural integrity, has sidewalls with an arch-shaped configuration defining an enlarged inner enclosure for storing splices or junctions for electrical, telephone, coaxial cable or optical fiber cable, and has side walls with outer laterally extending strengthening ribs. The end walls cover the ends of the inner enclosure defined by the elongated main body portion. The elongated main body portion has at least one inlet opening for receiving the electrical, telephone, coaxial cable or optical fiber cable for splicing or joining together and storing inside the enlarged inner enclosure.
