When our house was build, they stuck the meter right on the front. They said it was to make it easier for the meter reader. I have been trying to disguise it ever since.
I made a trellis once. That stayed a few years. Then I planted an arborvitae. This worked out well until it outgrew the space. I cut it down this spring. Next up is this old door that I dug out of the barn. After removing the panels and hardware, scrubbing, sanding, scrubbing again, and painting, I replaced the panels with some leftover laminate.
I was thinking of a square wooden post on either side with a support across the top, then attach it like a door with hinges. Any better ideas?
That door was worth the effort- it looks great. Your plan is pretty much exactly what I would do.
ReplyDeleteI love it. I think having the door stand out from the house is good.
