How can I hide my pool equipment?

Looking to hide my pool equipment. Happy to consider either a gate on hinges or a screen that  locks onto the wall. Thanks in advance. Hope the image helps.

Re: How can I hide my pool equipment?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Dingostema. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about enclosing a pool pump.

You'll need to create a frame to which you can attach your gate and panelling. You could potentially use the SpecRite 1833 x 900mm Pre-Oiled Merbau Horizontal Slat Gate. You could cut it down to 1500mm in height and connect it to the brickwork on one side with hinges.

 

For the rest of the span, I'd recommend using Jack Screen-Up. You can install two uprights and then add Merbau screening between them.

 

Alternatively, you could make a set of doors out of Merbau panels similar to how this pool pump cover was built: How to build a pool pump cover.


Please let me know if you have any questions.
