Outdoor cable issue

2 years ago

Hi, I’m looking for any ideas on how to hide/cover this wire that we have outside our house near our front door. Its quite a firm wire and its pretty long so I’m not sure what I can do to cover it as its really noticeable. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The planter idea is the best as if you don't know what the wire is connected to then messing with it could result in a few surprises. If you really want to conceal it I would ask an electrician to confirm the purpose of it first and what might be possible. It looks as though it should have been chased into the brickwork neatly but there might be a good reason why this did not happen.

Thanks evelynk1. Yes, the shelves are adjustable, and also split levels on two and three door models. You can use wine shelves or regular shelves really. Yes, the LED lights can be turned on or off, but they're very energy efficient so they can stay on even during the day if you have people over! They're really popular in Australia, Sharon - it doesn't hurt that the weather over there makes it perfect to enjoy a drink outdoors.

Understood :-) you may be surprised at our costings though, everything we do is handmade but at a reasonable cost as its all done in house, sometimes words like bespoke, custom, crystal and chandelier tend to mean high prices but not with us. If you want to explore your options with me just let me know, no commitment or expectations. You can check out some of the work I've done on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/littlejohnlighting/

That looks like a wired alarm system wire. Is it still in use?

You could use a cable concealer that matches the exterior of your house, which can be painted to blend in with the surrounding walls or trim. Alternatively, you could use flexible conduit to encase the wire, offering protection and a cleaner look

If you can't break brick you can use a box like thing which will hide the wires inside

Looks like the earthing wire. We have the same coming in to ours by the front door. Is there room to put a planter there to hide it behind?
