I have gas and electricity meters and consumer unit inside my hallway. The old fitted cupboard got ripped out when I had the house rewired recently (too small for a modern consumer unit). Unfortunately it got ripped out before I had a chance to examine the construction.
Internal dimensions need to be around 100cm wide, 100cm tall and 28cm deep.
That puts it outside of hacking up an Ikea Billy bookcase to cover it up, Billy bookcases are only 80cm wide. I haven’t had much luck finding something else suitable.
That probably leaves me with something custom. I’m happy to DIY it and have most of the tools from my deck build last summer, but don’t want the finish to look terrible, which is why i’ve been looking at modifying off-the-shelf stuff. Rough sawn work in the garden is different in terms of finish from indoors!
Currently thinking of a painted plywood carcass, attached to the wall for strength and resistance to racking. I have a sheet of left-over ply in the garage.
Anyone got any tips or photos of similar projects they’ve completed?
