You guys were so helpful with your responses on my CH vent query, I
thought i'd pose another one for you!

In a reasonably prominent position on a large lawn at my house are
three metal inspection covers (2 over the septic tank and the third
over the runaway channel), and a vent (which has a vertical height of
around 6") with some concrete visible between them (and I suspect more
under the grass around them). By the way, 2 of the covers are parallel
to each other and the third is at right angles to the second, if you
follow me!...the point being they are not in a neat line.
Any thoughts on disguising/distracting from these?

Saw a possible solution yesterday on a roundabout !!!!

I think it was supposed to be art, but it immediately made me think of your
question.

They had large structures made of pipe and wire which they were growing ivy up.
A much larger version of those animals from chicken wire you see in garden
centres.

These things were 20ft high and very 'chunky'. I would imagine you could use
scaffolding pipe to erect a structure and then cover it with some sort of wire
mesh. There's loads of interesting stuff about nowadays in de DIY sheds or at
specialist metal shops.

You could make the structure around the inspection covers and have a garden
'sculpture' at the same time :~)
