Artificial Boulders to hide Electrical Boxes?
Anyone heard of or seen these?
I have one of those GIANT green electrical boxes in the corner of my backyard and it's ugly as hell. A fake rock isnt the nicest thing in the world either but its better than a dirty ugly green box.
It's one of those like 36"x36"x24"h units? Know the ones I mean? There's also the tall skinny cable box next to it but Im not too concerned about that.
My GF tells me you can get boulder looking covers for them, but I've never seen them anywhere in town. I did a quick google search and found all different kinds/sizes ranging anywhere from $80-300, but nothing local.
Has anybody seen these things around town? I'd like to see it in person before I spend $300 on a fiberglass rock.
Re: Artificial Boulders to hide Electrical Boxes?
i agree, i think there is likely an ordinance that requires that you keep anything a certain amount of distance from the utilities boxes
for a lot less work and cost, you could put up a simple lattice board, or one section of those pre-assembled fencing, making it like a screen between your view and the box (3-4 feet from the box)
then as suggested, plant some climbing plants at the bottom (sweet peas are easy to grow) so they crawl up the lattice and make it a nice display
that way the box is completely out of your sight
