Let’s be honest…

You didn’t spend all that money on landscaping, pavers, and a Pinterest-worthy pool just to stare at a noisy metal box with pipes sticking out like a robot octopus.

But that’s what most backyards end up with — an exposed, sunburnt pool pump humming away in the corner like it’s auditioning for a construction site.

That’s where we come in.

Introducing our Aluminium Slat Pool Pump Enclosure — the ultimate blend of style, function, and "finally-someone-hid-that-eyesore" energy.
Let’s take a look at why thousands of Aussies are hiding their pumps (and bins, and aircon units) behind our sleek aluminium slats — and not looking back.

What Is It (And Why Should You Care)?

It’s not just a box. It’s not just a cover. It’s not just a shed.
It’s an elegant equipment enclosure built for Aussie homes. Made from 65mm powder-coated aluminium slats. Finished in your choice of 10 stunning colours. Delivered flat-packed and ready to go.

Whether you’re hiding:

• A pool filter

• A heat pump

• An air conditioner

• The council bin that’s been visually offending you for 6 years

This thing works.

7 Things You’ll Love About This Pool Pump Cover

1. It looks good.
   Like… really good. No one will even know what’s behind it.

2. It doesn’t rust, swell or warp.
   Aluminium laughs in the face of coastal air and wet seasons.

3. You can pick your size and colour.
   It’s like Build-A-Bear, but for pool gear.

4. It’s flat-packed.
   Which means no waiting on welders or tradies. Just three boxes, a screwdriver, and a couple of hours.

5. It’s fully ventilated.
   No overheating. No stuffy boxes. Just breezy, breathable airflow.

6. It’s a full kit.
   You get the door. You get the lid. You get the gas struts. You even get the screws (and plenty of extras).

7. It’s not just for pool pumps.
   We’ve seen these pool pump enclosures used for bins, AC units, water tanks, and even hiding dodgy brickwork. Whatever needs a glow-up, it’ll do the trick.

Why Cover Your Pool Pump At All?

Let’s break this down.
Your pool pump works hard. But it lives outside, fully exposed to:

• Rain

• Sun

• Leaves

• Dirt

• Curious pets

And worse — curious toddlers.
An exposed pump is vulnerable to weather damage, rust, corrosion, and electrical faults. It gets noisy. It gets dirty. It becomes the exact opposite of what you want sitting next to your glistening pool.

With a proper swimming pool pump enclosure, you solve all of that:

• Extend the life of your equipment

• Improve safety for kids and pets

• Keep things quieter for the neighbours

• Clean up the look of your backyard instantly

But Is It Easy To Put Together?

Let’s put it this way: If you’ve ever assembled IKEA furniture without crying, you’ve got this.
Just:

• Read the instructions first (trust us)

• Lay everything out on a soft surface so you don’t scratch the finish

• Use a cordless screwdriver — impact preferred, but not essential

Depending on your skill level, you’re looking at a half-day job. Maybe a full day if you go full perfectionist and align every screw like a cabinetmaker.
And when it’s done? Chef’s kiss. 👌

Common Mistakes To Avoid (We’ve Seen Them All)

1. Forgetting ventilation
   Some folks DIY a completely sealed wooden box… and then wonder why their pump overheats every summer.

2. Buying the wrong size
   Measure everything — the pump, filter, chlorinator, the pipe elbows, the clearance for the lid… all of it.

3. Choosing timber near the coast
   Looks great in theory. Turns into a warped sponge by summer.

4. Underestimating the base plates
   Our enclosures include a base plate that protrudes 25mm each side. Allow for it in your space.

5. Expecting a sealed unit
   It’s not supposed to be waterproof — it’s supposed to breathe. Rain will run off the lid, and airflow keeps things safe.

The Specs (Because You’re Detail-Oriented)

• 65mm slats

• 10 finish options

• Gas strut lid with drainage gap

• Gate stop and hinges included

• Widths, heights, and depths selectable via dropdown

• No custom sizing outside of options shown

• 25mm base plate protrusion each side

• Internal clearance: subtract 55mm depth, 100mm width, 55mm height

This is a serious piece of kit. Every part has been thought through.

Where Else Do People Use It?

We built this for pool pumps, but turns out, people are clever.
You’ll find our aluminium enclosures hiding:

• Ugly bin setups

• Air conditioning units

• NBN boxes

• Tools and storage tubs

• Pumps for water tanks

Basically, if it hums, whirs, leaks or looks bad, this can cover it.
And it’ll look like it belongs there.
