ATO cover?

Cassian · Mar 4, 2019

hello,
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to cover an ATO system. right now its just a 5 gallon bucket and its kind of an eye sore. ive seen foot stools and vases used for a cover. any other ideas or how you build a foot stool for the cover?

Why not just get a bucket with the lid and drill small holes in the top ?
EDIT...ohhhhhh, you mean to cover the bucket up...
Drape a small curtain over it

Here's a great solution. It's a rice storage container. The lid is great since one part flips up and the other part stays flat. So you can open it up and not disturb the water line while refilling. It holds about 5 gallons, very slightly under a full 5 gallon water jug.

That's pretty slick! If I didn't have the supplies on the way to build one, I would go this route in an instant!

If you don't mind an oriental theme, amazon sells rolls of bamboo matt. You could wrap the bucket in it and put something on top to hold a plant.
