hiding toilet waste pipe - boxing in beginners help?

chezybezy

me again! continuing from my new home saga!

so i'm turning my hand trying to hide the toilet waste pipe by "boxing in" around it. is this the best (& cheaper) idea to hide such a thing as it is quite large?

if so, Do i nip to b&q, get some form of sheet wood(?) cut to correct length & width? 1 for the top, 1 for the side.
Then get some form of 'baton' cut it to length x2? One for bottom to make a foot, and 1 for the inside square join for joining the two 'sheets'?

so which 'wood material bits' do i need to buy?

i have a basic handsaw and a 12" hacksaw (although i believe that for metal?) but I do struggle with straight cuts so thought i could get b&q to cut what i buy to length? or is there something i could buy to help with cutting?

Please see sketch for my idea and photos. https://imgur.com/a/IXuYO

Sadly this wouldn't hide the cut off and no longer needed overflow pipe (the thing on the right above the waste). Also as you can see there is two sections i will need to cut out for existing pipes (in badly fit tracking - runs along the floor and then up the wall) any advice for this as well? Further I'm unsure how to "end" it? Just stop at the end of the wood and have the toilet hide the side edge?

i really wanna have a crack at doing this but i have zero idea with wood and my cutting skills leave a lot to be desired if i want something 90 degrees.

N.B. obviously the bathroom itself is a work in progress!

Thank you very much

Right idea I think but you'll need to a little more than two battons to create a frame to screw your sheets to.

I'd suggest going to your local timber merchants with pictures and measurements and ask them for advice. They will also do any cuts you need which I don't think any B &Q I've been to does.

Look up videos on YouTube better to see it in motion then someone on here trying to explain.

Also suggest that the boxing over the service valve can be easily removed for access.
