I love the way you always use two drills, one for drilling, one for screwing - it's so efficient! Nice project, Shara.

It’s actually a drill and a driver. Ones for drilling and ones for driving. Sometimes I use my drill for both, but it is definitely faster to have both! Usually you can grab a “kit” with both tools at a discount vs buying them separate. Anyway, Thanks so much, I hope you enjoyed the video! 💕

Brilliant! I followed your exact plans and built a perfect surround for my pool heater/pump area. Amazing how it made two 4' high panels that are 3' and 6' wide all from 8' pieces of wood. Thank you so much for this! Cheers!

Thanks so much!! Yes, it’s pretty general so it would work for multiple applications 👍

Fantastic idea, simple and still not cheap-looking at all! I guess 3 sides can be built, with the same system, 2 smaller panels and 1 large central panel, with hinges. This would hide my trash bins outside so well! Thank you for the inspiration

Looks good Shara!! Great build! I’ve been looking at different easy ways to cover my pool pump equipment. I like the hinge idea for easy access to parts. Not sure about a sloped lid to cover it from the hot Vegas sun yet.

Geesh , Shara, you’re so strong! And always so accurate when attaching two pieces of wood. Mine always end up looking jacked unless I clamp and secure first.

you could... get fancy and make the short fence henge with the well house cover... so when you open the well house the short fence hinges out of the way--attached to well house cover with an arm or rod... how cool would that be! and easy to do! then the fence would be permanent and the back part would move in sync with the cover.

Perfect 👌

Looks great! Just curious if you're worried about high winds and such.

@WoodshopDiaries

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much!! I’m not worried about winds. It’s surprisingly sturdy and it would take a pretty good wind to move it. Plus the well house cover breaks most of the wind from the back side and if it blows from the front, it’ll just blow into the cover and not really go anywhere. 👍 you could stake them if you were concerned about it

How does it handle the wind? Does it blow over? I'm thinking of doing this as I don't want to dig post holes, but I think the wind is going to be a issue

What’s it mean to “toenail” the pieces together? LOVE your channel btw!

@WoodshopDiaries

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! “Toenailing” basically mean to just drive a screw or nail in at an angle in order to attach boards together. Kind of like pocket holes, just without drilling the actual holes.

I did something similar. thx for the idea. My water well did not get the metal enclosure . I would like to find something to cover it.

You said you didn't want mulch on top of your drinking water. How deep is the well? My guess is that it is deep enough that anything on the surface is well filtered before hitting the aquifer. And also that aquifer is probably all over your property. Do you not mulch anywhere else? I think this is a common misconception people have about how things on the surface affect the water table.

Looks great. Only one point: why hang the hose on the side that you will lay on the ground? I should have put that on the iother side and on the short piece ... Just a thought.

Thank you! I'm not sure about everywhere, but in my area, if you aren't in the city limits to get city water, you have a well dug in your yard and these covers cover the pump, the "lid" to the well, and all the workings. Sometimes people use big white plastic covers, too. And sometimes neighbors share them. But we have our own.

Isn't your box a potential hazard? What happens when a heavy storm or gust of wind blows through your neighborhood? Because you did not secure this box to any type of unmovable post aren't you concerned with the possibility the box blows away during a hurricane or tornado grade storm? Your utility cover box might end up flying through your front window or causing damage to neighboring property as flying debris. This is a good video except for the issue of not securing or locking down the box.
