Compartment for Air Conditioner Condenser

Abstract

An air conditioner condenser compartment includes a base. A three-sided frame is mounted to the base, each side of the frame incorporating a top, bottom, and side rail portion. A receiving bracket is formed along a surface of the side rail portion. A panel has top, bottom and side rail portions. The side rail portion of the panel is adapted to slide through the bracket formed along the three-sided frame. A fabric material is alternatively disposed over or integrated into the top, bottom, and side rail portions of the panel to render a screen structure. A top portion has two congruent side surfaces and a front surface. The side surfaces and front surface extend from a top opening outward to conform to a surface of the three-side frame. The top opening remains unobstructed to accommodate air movement.
