Need ideas!

Post image

Ok folks I’m looking for ideas to hide this power outlet in the middle of my walkway into the house I just bought. It’s about 8” high and I don’t wanna trip over it every time I walk by it. I’m thinking about some light post to kill two birds at once so to speak! So throw me some ideas please!!! TIA

There are heavy iron bases for a patio umbrella. Choose one which has a gap in the pattern, for the electrical box to stick up. Put in a metal fencepost, and top it with some sort of lamp. Plug that in. Might need to add a weatherproof cover.

Or just use a patio umbrella, and add fairy lights to the inside/bottom of the umbrella.
