  • There are generally two approaches to this - a small privacy fence or bushes. Both are safe as long as you leave enough space between them & the unit - generally two feet is preferable to allow for ample air flow. Do not put anything over the top
  • SLS has great tips if it is outdoors but is it indoors? if so, then look at the clearance area of your home store and find some bifold doors and make a screen. this would be the easiest way plus you can paint them and embellish the to match your home's décor. I would think about 2 pairs and maybe even attaching them to the walls on each side of furnace and then you could have the middle open freely so you can change the filter and clean the furnace when needed. Hope this helps
