I believe that most outdoor AC equipment requires 5' of overhead clearance for adequate air flow.
Living in Arkansas, with the pool pumps on the west side of the house, our pumps get a LOT of sun. Additionally, with our winters unpredictable as they are (sometimes quite cold, other years -like this one- quite mild) we thought some sort of year round protective covering would make sense.
In the summer, we'll use the cover pretty much as seen EXCEPT we'll raise the lids a bit to allow ventilation. In the winter, we'll close the front (the front is a tarp that can be secured with screws) to keep rain / snow / ice off the pumps.
Our main goal is to stop losing pumps after 3 - 4 years - or at least, extend their life.
Visually, this isn't anywhere in the neighborhood of other covers in this thread, but it is out of view from the street.
Can anyone see any problems or issues with the following:
