AC unit was an ‘eyesore,’ so handy homeowner built this to enhance outdoor beauty

4. Blue pallet AC cover

Pallets once again provide wonderful solutions to a DIY problem — this homeowner painted pallets a bright color and used them to create mounted planters for a floral touch.

5. Vertical garden visual barrier

A vertical garden is a lovely way to disguise an ugly air conditioning unit. The method is best used as a visual barrier — installed several feet away from the unit (better for the unit and the plants), it can be as tall as you like to hide what’s behind it.With proper attention to the repair and maintenance accessibility needs of your unit and its manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the proximity of plants and barriers, it’s possible to hide an outdoor eyesore with a landscaping thing of beauty.Have you built visual barriers to hide something ugly in your yard?
