Stove Air Supply Pipe, how to finish it

sas

Hi,

Finally looks like I'll have a stove for this winter.

The air supply pipe we have fitted currently emerges vertically about a foot from the external wall outside. It's blanked off right now to prevent water ingress or wild life getting in.

The issue I have now though is how to finish it off properly so that it
(a) Looks nice
(b) Keeps water out
(c) keeps animals out
(d) Still is able to supply the required volume of air.

I'm finding myself wondering if I'm into some custom piece of stainless steel work.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I brought it up the cavity and out the plint.

If yours is 1ft from house then it's in the footpath ?

Yes its rising through where the footpath will be.

I don't have a cavity so I didn't have the option.

Fair enough.

If the foot path is not already down then I would dig up and extend the pipe past the footpath for starters then install some type of a "chimney rain cowl" on the pipe something like below.

Actually, I may have found something.

This is an external hood for ventilation systems but would work.
It ticks all the boxes.

I hope it's not too pricey.

Thanks,
