Thanks for the idea

Brentwood Construction and Remodeling

I was challenged by a client to build an A/C surround that was unique. We do not do much exterior wood work in Florida because of the rain, bugs and sun. I went to Houzz to get some ideas. I found this photo and we decided to copy it. I posted photos on my page, lot me what you think. Thanks for the great idea!

like this idea very much. would like to do similar project for my a/c. I heard the unit needs to be shielded from harsh sun to work effectively.

Hi ljuliahern, yes this is a great approach for that. In our case this was to give the A/C unit some blending with the landscaping being done instead of having it stand out.
