It's a great cover, but I'm pretty sure that pup took one look and said, "Hold my doggy dish" 😎

@FunDuude 4 месяца назад

I built this same fence to stand on concrete. So to minimize water damage, I used 1 inch (in height) plastic base plates on each location where the wood makes contact with the ground. (Home depot call them: Composite Plastic Standoff Column Base.) they're like footings.

@SpecificLove7 4 месяца назад

That is a good idea, thanks for the suggestion

@wave7707 6 лет назад

the ending made me laugh man looooooooool

@unsure2011 6 лет назад

Its a nice idea but being a HVAC technician it may be to close to the unit and you may end up having issues with it heating or cooling properly.

@SpecificLove7 6 лет назад

Thanks for the heads up

@unsure2011 6 лет назад

@@SpecificLove7 no problem. Your condenser unit should have a guide book with it. If not the standard is about 18 inches between the unit and any fencing or house.

@wownewstome6123 5 лет назад

Specific L C, I like William's point. A website points out that if you don't allow enough air flow: "You'll pay extra for it in more than one way: (i) Your monthly electric bill will be higher; (ii) your equipment may not last as long, so you'll pay more in repair bills and in having to replace the AC sooner." For random readers: nothing should be over the unit, either, like a roof or plants, and the unit should be serviced annually. I get that some people don't want them visible, though, and so great you keep your dog away from it!

@babasamaki 5 лет назад

how much clearance should you have?

@LaCosaRica-m4z 2 месяца назад

500% sure…..

@Lightedbeam 4 года назад

Yes it looks nice and since I read that you moved it back off the condenser it should be found. But anytime you start to block airflow and heat transfer you are costing yourself more money seasonally. If I had this same structure around my a/c it would need to be 10 inches away or more. Since it has at least 10 inches the slots would allow some of that needed air to get through to the unit. You could actually close it completely as long as you were 12 inches away from outside of the unit. Great idea making it look like the fence around your house.

@Lilbit09 5 лет назад

This looks wonderful! Very clear instructions and I really like the look. Will be building this soon. 👍

@andrewvanover3554 Год назад

I did this and it caused my out side unit to Labor . And over heat. It looks nice I know I did it!! Lol but best thing is put cinnamon around your unit and leave it. ❤

The blind is well-done, of course, but that doesn't teach he dog not to gnaw. He could go after other things, like furniture, etc. I'm sure he will have a wonderful life in your family! : )

@SpecificLove7 6 лет назад

Very true. He is still young so we hope he will out grow it soon.

@jamesashlock5235 5 лет назад

Are you concerned the fencing will be so close that it might cause over heating?

@SpecificLove7 5 лет назад

I was not at the time, but after some thinking, I moved it back another 6 inches for peace of mind.

@Creeperboy099 5 лет назад

A heat pump is only used in geothermal heating systems, right?

@towpathguitars 4 года назад

This is an AC heat pump. Geothermal systems only have 1 visible part and its inside the house.
