I'm looking for ideas on how to conceal water heater and furnace.?
Question:water heater and furnace sitting side by side in newly finished garage. i'm looking for ways to conceal them. maybe someone has done this or perhaps knows of a website that could give me an idea on where to begin. not too thrilled about building a wall around them either. anybody got any thoughts?
Answers:
Build a linen cupboard around them, then you can use the space to keep your towels and sheets nice and warm with the leftover heat.
Make sure you leave enough space to vent the furnace, if it's specifications require it.
use privacy lattice and build a box around them. you can get it at any hardware place.
you can stain the lattice any colour you want.
I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to build a wall, unless there is an access issue, but hey... your house; your choice.
How about this...
Go to your local home improvement center and get some peg board and 2x4s. Frame the pegboard with 2X4 and hang them from the ceiling to conceal the appliances. (Make sure you use strong bolts and screw them directly into a ceiling joist.) Put a workbench in front of the hanging pegboard and use the pegboard to hang your tools from.
