Screened in porch

Hello all
We might be wiring a screened in porch. The owner would want all the switches in the porch. Do they make weather resistant switches or some type of water resistant plate? There would be a 3 & 4 gang box for the switches. There would be six single poles and one dimmer. Thanks in advance

The switches will be in either a damp or wet location depending on where you put them. You will need suitable covers listed for the location type. 3 or 4 gang might be hard to find. Just curious why so many switches?

I would separate them into 2- 2 gang boxes -- I have not seen a 4 gang weatherproof cover. 3 gangs are available but 2 gangs are easy to come by
