Last year we had an A/C unit installed in our house but were limited to where we could put the compressor outside. The ONLY spot was in the front of the house below the inside wall where it was installed. Now we're trying to find a way of concealing this ugly unit. In order to meet warranty specs it needs to be at least 12 inches off the ground which brings it just up to window bottom, and have a clearance around for maintenance etc. Lattice panels seem the most logical choice but I'm thinking of a coniferous shrub/bush. For the hoses etc I was thinking of covering it with a downspout. Any suggestions?
