outside tap cover

[lizzie]

My outside tap has been put on the side of the garage just where I wanted it however the water pipe comes up out of the ground and runs up the brick wall in full view. Not a pretty sight.

 

I need to find some easy on the eye and pocket way to insulate and cover it up whilst keeping it accessible for use.

 

In other areas I am already covering meter boxes in a larch box and building a bin store in larch....a construction in larch would be a simple answer but it will be starting to look like I have odd little larch constructions all over the place if I am not careful

 

Any bright ideas?

Insulate the vertical with some decent thick wall stuff then this?

With an ordinary S'fix / B&Q / T'station foam tap cover on top.

How about folding a cover up out of the same metal flashing you have over your slab,

i had some folded to cover up our air con pipes,

obviously insulation around pipe as needed.

Some good ideas here thanks chaps....I think we have some offcuts from the flashings lying about, I will investigate. That cable cover is a neat idea.

Just a note in case anyone searches for this in the future, that CPC might be better value: http://cpc.farnell.com/pro-power/cg80/cable-protection-guards-3m/dp/CBBR4980?st=cable guard
