Default covering an ugly 4x4 stand

I started with an ugly, home built 4x4 and 2x4 stand, painted white, bleh. And for about 40 bucks worth of vinyl, it now looks pretty good. Better than most of the crap at big als anyways. took me two trys to get it right, but luckly i didnt waste much, and didnt have to buy more. I used uhpolstry tacks to nail it on, and just left a flap in the front for access to the sump. I didnt get any pics before, but here it is now.

Looks good, alot better than seeing some unfinished 4x4's. Ive seen numerous people use just a curtain or covering around a wooden frame. I personally perfer plywood sides with doors but for 40 bucks, you cant beat it.
