I need to design a little cover for a cut out in a deck. It needs to go over a hosebib and provide access to something in the ground as well. I was thinking of a box something like this. Some questions. Should the box have a back? Should the lid be hinged or could it just sit on top. If it is hinged, do I have to run a piece of wood over the top of the hose bib? I don’t like the idea of attaching to the vinyl siding. Might it be better just to have the whole box lift off the deck? If the whole box lifts off, do I need to latch it down somehow? I have visions of either lid or box blowing away in the next wind.
I trust the picture is here?
