Hiding cable for gate on external wall

[success1980]

Hi all,

 

I have run the cables for my lights and gate openers to the house now and have to go in through the external wall about 500mm above the finished drive. Was looking into 30mm black ducting but it doesn't look nice Is there an elegant solution to hide these as much as possible?

 

Thanks

Personally, I'd track the cables in the wall in conduit and straight in to the ground.

Cable guard?

That might be the simplest solution as it is a retrofit and i can't go straight down anymore

Rough them up and put some plastic primer on then paint to match the wall. 

 

Just make sure you get the size that'll cover your ducting:
