Anyone out there ever build a pump house for covering an irrigation pump next to a lake? I have the perfect location for using our lake as a water source for a lawn irrigation system. I've got most of the project figured out (pump, layout, filter, etc) except for how to keep the pump and distribution manifold from being an eye sore in my yard. Since I live in Michigan, I'll have to have easy access to the pump in order to disconnect it and bring it inside during the winters.
My basic requirements are:
- minimally invasive, some how blend it in with the landscape
- hide the pump, electrical connections/disconnect, distribution manifold, electric valves, etc
- easy access for maintenance and annual pump removal/install
I haven't been able to find much online, but have noodled around on these ideas:
- hide it under a bench seat
- cover it with a fake rock
- build a small "dog house"
So . . . Post pics of what you've done and how it's worked out for you.
Thanks!!
