If you’ve put any effort into making your yard and outdoor space beautiful—or at the very least, livable—you have probably encountered certain features or fixtures that stick out like sore thumbs, threatening to ruin your carefully curated aesthetic. These are your garden hoses, HVAC units, utility meters, plumbing pipes, and garbage bins, to name a few. But you aren’t stuck staring at these eyesores every time you go outside if you put a little bit of effort into hiding them.
Here are the best ways to cover up those ugly fixtures. The most straightforward way to hide an eyesore is to install a fence, privacy screen, or box to cover it up. This can work especially well for garbage bins or large HVAC units that are visible from multiple angles.
You can upgrade even further by selecting a decorative panel or natural plant screen, painting the fencing, or adding vertical garden elements (more on this below). If you want a more natural look, consider installing a trellis or adding vining plants that will grow up your fence (especially if you need to cover chain links). Be sure to select a climbing plant that makes sense for your space and seasons.
Alternatively, you can create a vertical garden out of items like ladders, pallets, and even shoe organizers. If you don’t have something for plants to grow or vine up, you can still arrange individual pots in front of or around the feature you want to hide. This allows you to keep your barriers mobile for easy access.
