Janet Pizaro on Jul 05, 2016You can get a piece of lattice or privacy sections of white plastic fences are available.Helpful Reply

William on Jul 05, 2016I would build a three side lattice pedestal a little taller than the tank to cover it. Place a board on top of the tower, place a plant on top of the board.Helpful Reply

Kapiteinterzee on Jul 05, 2016Use white picket fence boards (3” or 4” wide) cut a few inches over the tank top to hide it. Make the structure a “U” shape that can be removed when refilling or moving the tank. Install four straps screwed to the wall at each end (two, one top and bottom) to hold the tank and structure from moving should a gust of air present itself.Helpful Reply

Barbara.warner on Jul 06, 2016vinyl window shutters come in various heights...but two or three of them, hinge them together and set in front of the tank. you could put a lid on and use it for a fern stand which goes well with the fountain decor and they will never need painting unless you want to change the color.Helpful Reply

Joanne on Jul 06, 2016We had the same problem except our propane tank is lying on the ground adjacent to our deck. I recommend that you get some half-circle planters and plant something like honeysuckle in them; you will need a small trellis for the plants to grow up, but it will hide the tank and you can simply shift the half-circle planters when you need to refill it.Helpful Reply

Wjo5975375 on Jul 06, 2016Looks like you have a nautical theme going on there. Buy enough railing to go around the tank and use rope to tie them together. The wood will get weathered and go perfect with the fountain.Helpful Reply

Tanya ragnone on Jul 06, 2016Build a lattice box. Cut 3 sections and trim around the corners with 1x2's. Medium length drywall screws will be perfect. You can then stain or paint it to match your theme... :)Helpful Reply

John Mood on Jul 07, 2016I agree with Tanya ragnone. Lattice will allow ventilation in case of accidental leaks of gas, and hide it as well.Helpful Reply

John Mood on Jul 07, 2016I'd also recommend setting the tank on top of about 4" of paving stone to keep it from staying wet against the ground and causing rust to the tank.Helpful Reply
