Heat Pump Lines?


I gotta box in some kinda "chase" to cover up these pipes & lines to make it look nice. It is right next to a big 12' window & the HO does not like any kinda Vinyl.
Any suggestions?

Looks like you have to stick with white. It looks good around the rest of the house matched with the brick. Don't know how much work you want to put into it, maybe you could match the 1x4 trim above the doors. Run one down the center of your chase to give it some style. Definitely leave some of the brick exposed on the face of that little jet out wall.

Kingfisher get's the credit-use the downspout idea and then mock it up to look like it's actually a downspout ('hang' on gutter)-a perfect hide!

Have done it more than once. Nobody notices another spout.

I like it, good idea. I reckon at the bottom I'd just have her plant some kind of shrub.
