I have a 4'x6' pump house that is pretty much buried in the ground. I
plan on putting a deck over it, but want to put some type of lid on
the pump house itself to keep out dirt/water. Has anyone built
anything like this? If so, any pictures? Thx!

My equipment is also buried in a pit and I also had planned to
cover it with a deck. I've changed the plan for the deck - decided
to surface the area with flagstone. I have fashioned a tinted Lexan
cover for the equipment pit.

Every time I look at your pond, Steve, I end up drooling all over myself.
That is one FINE project: you have much to be proud of.

Thanks for the kind words, Lee.
If you're ever in the area be sure to drop by. The gate's always
open...

My pump house is about 3.5' x 5'. The walls which rise about 1.5"
above the ground are made of 1/2" PT plywood with 2x6 PT running
around the inside top. I have a 4x4 spanning the midpoint across the
width. The lid is made out of 1/2" PT plywood with a lip made from PT
1x2. I painted it to match the nearby rock and put a couple of pieces
of rock on it to help camouflage it. I also planted some decorative
grass around it.
