How to hide power supply cables?

[success1980]

Hello everyone,

 

I have a white renderd boundary wall around my driveway with in and out openings for gates. The gates will come at a later stage but I already have the powe supply cables there.

 

I may not have thought that through when building it but I now have ugly cables coming out of my wall near the end pillars.

 

I could chisel out the wall again and put them behind a simple plastic access panel but don't really want a massive hole after installing the gates.

 

So I was thinking to just fix a 200x300mm white plastic box to the wall and hide everything in that. However, it is impossible to fine a shallow one as I don't want it to be deeper than 60mm ish.

 

Does anyone have an idea where I can get such a box or what else I can do please? 

 

Thanks

Don't do anything until you fit the gates.  Only then will you know for sure where the cables actually need to go to and be able to work out the best solution.

Agree with Dave, fit the gates first there may be the opportunity to do something then.

You will need more than that to house the control panel.  There is a fair bit involved, especially if you want intercom and ground loop.

 

A friend does these and he likes FAAC kit and Videx intercom.
