In Sydney, housing your unsightly pool pump in a box is a great way to enhance the outdoor entertaining area but don't forget you (or the local pool guy) still need access to all that equipment on a regular basis. Building a box around the pump keeps the weather off all your pipes and filters and in some cases it keeps the family dog from chewing not one but three timers as my client in Castle Hill recently was telling me. Every situation is unique when dealing with pool equipment, although the components are relatively the same, their location in relation to the pool is always different.

There are some conduit systems on the market that hide USB and power leads inside aluminium or plastic tubing which is then attached to the outside of the wall between the television and the skirting boards, but nothing beats making the cables disappear altogether. A local Sydney electrician can install an outlet for the power behind where the flat screen will be mounted but this still leaves the problem of the other leads being seen. For a brick wall I use a 38mm core drill bit to drill a hole behind the flat screen where it won't be seen and another one just above floor level and then if the cavity is wide enough between t...
