How to cover outside electrical panel?

I would suggest a box around with hinges for doors. The electric company needs to get to them for reading meter

I'd try doing something with lattice, perhaps putting a post in the ground at each end of the utility area, and attaching lattice to hang across in front of it. Attach it to the posts with some sort of hook-and-eye or latch system, so the lattice could be easily removed. Use plastic lattice, and you'll never need to paint it. It comes in several colors.

You could create a wooden cover using some long pallet slats

just use a wire and 2 eye bolts and hang canvas painters tarp to cover the whole wall, hang gathered like a curtain or flat and paint it with design or mural maybe low cost fast easy fix

Here is another idea that is attractive, yet allows for access to the meters.

Some thing on wheels! I just added these cabinets to my garage and put them on wheels so they can easily be moved if need be!

Check with your utility companies. Where I live, we can't cover them. I think it's crazy as we all have "smart meters" - they only send repair techs out if there is a problem.

You could make a lattice screen that won't interfere with covering them or access. Place it a few feet in front of the boxes and you can place pots below it and grow vines up it. Everything is mobile in case it needs to go.

Add battons to wall and form cupboards using trellis and shelves for storage.

I used an extra piece of leftover privacy fence and create (by cutting it in 3rds and using hinges) a privacy panel that was easy to move around.

I would landscape in front of all of it. Tall and shorter plants.

You are allowed to cover your electrical panel but it must be easy to open, can not interfere with the opening of the steel door of the panel and you have to make sure you have full access to all of the breakers.

Keep in mind that some local electrical codes may prohibit the covering of your electrical panel. Make sure to first check with your local building authorities to make sure you can cover without violating any codes.

I would use the Lattice solution or make a pretty fence around it.

Build a cupboard around them. Use batterns off the wall and form a framework, then add doors.

We needed to shade our AC unit (to protect the electronics compartment) with out touching to or blocking the air flow to the unit ... my husband came up with the perfect solution. We had 4 wrought iron trellises that were 24 inches wide by 6 foot tall.. he drilled thru the sides and bolted 2 panels together. He attached rebar where the original legs had rotted away making a 12 inch leg...making each "side" have 3 legs instead of 4... then he pounded round pipe (larger around than the rebar legs) into the ground, being VERY CAREFUL not to interfere with any wires or pipes or cooling lines. The panels slip into the pipes and the unit stands without help... and on the south and west sides of the AC unit, making them easy to remove when the AC unit needs to be serviced. I made Shade Cloth covers for the trellises that slip over the top and tie at the bottom... these extend down to just below the top of the unit, leaving the entire side open to air flow... they cast shade on the AC unit during the hot sunny part of the day. Not quite the same problem... but the removable trellises could help solve your ugly electrical panel issue... and be modular and removable when needed. You could use lattice or decorative metal mesh to attach to the trellises to help conceal the stuff you want to conceal.

Hello Joy: The first thing that came to my mind was to put a type of frame on the house, bringing it out about 1 inch further than the items. Then, attach some U or L hooks on the frame, top hooks facing up and bottom hooks facing down, and hang some of that plastic lattice on it. Hang it on the hooks at the top and bottom. Then, you can just lift the lattice off when you need to access anything. Here's Home Depot's site with various hooks to use: Search Results for u hooks at The Home Depot ~ Search Results for l hooks at The Home Depot
