You might even be able to find little tabs like this premade. I know certain clocks and picture frames use a similar method sometimes. Put a couple of screws in the wall and just hang it on there.
Glue them to the sides of the pipe with superglue. You can find little metal tabs with a hole already in it, then just drill a smaller hole on top, or drill both holes yourself. edit- Also wanted to add this rough mockup of another method I was going to hang the pipe on the wall with. Let's just say it was a pain getting it attached, as the wall of the pipe doesn't let you open it far enough to get the hinge flush.Īs you can see there's still a mess of wires coming off the side, so am going to put another vertical piece behind the speaker to hide all that.Īlternatively you could run everything down the middle piece, and have a horizontal piece running along the trim to route everything where you need it. If you zoom in you can see the screws, and can tell how small the hinge is. Try to find some really small European hinges that open outward, so it will sit flush when it's closed. I'm going to redo that last piece with 2" pipe, and scribe it so it follows the contour of the trim. The paint was $4-5 but I didn't use much, so hard to say how much it cost. The hinges and magnetic lock was another $3.00. Home Depot only carried it up to 1.25", which is what I used.
Much thinner wall thickness and easier to work with. You want to use Class 200 pipe (for irrigation), as opposed to Schedule 40 (for plumbing).
I use a standard rubber cord cover on the floor. The cord has a built-in circuit breaker as added protection.
DIY CORD COVER WALL PC
Hides the rear speaker wires, and an extension cord I run to my bedroom so my tv/stereo aren't on the same breaker as my PC (power goes out a lot here). Luckily the hinges alone keep it tight enough. The original idea was to have it on hinges, and just superglue one of those magnetic locks on it, but didn't really work out. Nobody will really see it but decided to paint it to match my "console", it's that hammered metal spray paint.Īlso cut some of my leftover PVC in half to use on the wall. Used a Dremel to cut out a channel to make it easier to work with, tho I'd recommend an extra 1/16" or so from what I did, as it gets a bit tight trying to work a new cord past one that's already sticking out.ĭrilled a small pilot hole all the way through to help get a screw started, then drilled out a larger hole to fit a screwdriver through so I could attach it.
