Boxing in a pipe

[Tringo]

Hi,

I recently got the garage converted and all is well apart from a pipe that is exposed and running just above the level of the skirting board and runs for about 3 metres.

Can anyone recommend the best way to box it off - was kind of hoping that one of the larger DIY retailers in the UK would have something i could use 'off the shelf' rather than me having to get some timber and knock something up myself.

Cheers

What size of pipe is it, 15mm, 3", 6"?

The pipe is about 2cm in diamater. When i was searching the web i came across a firm that made L shaped brackets that were specifically designed to box off pipes etc - unfortunately they dont supply domestic customers. Was hoping that one of the bigger DIY shops in the UK would sell them but cant seem to find anything that would do the job.

Tringo - try:

their stuff is also stocked in decent timber merchants.

Should have had the skirting incorporate the pipework by raising it slightly and use a bit of mdf to hold it off the wall.
