hide my radon mitigation system?

last year

Does anyone have an idea on how to hide the newly-installed radon mitigation system in my finished basement? I didn’t realize what an eyesore it would be. I didn’t do this to sell; I just wanted my house safe. I’m in Illinois.

Just frame it and put an access door (you need one anyway...on the inside above/under the pipe, you can make shelves for extra storage, etc

This is how we disguised our sump pump and discharge pipe. The top and corner shroud simply lift away. The diagnol piece is held with 4 screws.
