Default How can I camouflage an unsightly 1.5ft X 1.5ft electricity supply box

Hi

I've just put a deposit on a beautiful new home. The only fault with
it is there is a 1.5ft x 1.5ft stainless steel Electricity Supply box
in the garden.

Has anyone any idea how I can camouflage this?

My mother recommended planting a weeping will shrub behind the box
which would drap over the front?

Any advise?


How about purchasing a wishing well (if there's a bottom just cut it out)
that could fit over the box? I've seen them made out of all sorts of
materials and in many different styles/diameters/heights. I see their price
range run between $100 (Target) and $300 (custom). Something structural is
easily movable and immune to damage should the utility company need to
excavate in the area. An old barrel is another idea and probably cheaper.
