Actually what I came up with is depending on the strength of the box. I'm waiting for a reply fro the company for that! I was thinking about hollowing out the hill behind the house and bury it. The ground is mostly clay so it should seat itself in there good. It will only be about 12 inches of either dirt or stone on top. My back deck (When built) will go right over top of it! So the only thing exposed will be the opening and a couple feet of box. Even the zoning officer thinks it would be a neat idea. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Just a matter of being structurally strong enough. My wife even thought that would work. Since there would be less to hide we could hide it with some climbing vines and blend it right in. So if this becomes the project. There will definitely be some pictures on this site to be shared! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Be sure to seal the box with a spray on urethane coating or something so as to keep it dry and reduce rusting of the exterior and such
