Wood enclosure for pipes
What's the easiest way of enclosing these pipes to protect them?
These are inside a cupboard.
Doesn't have to be finished very well but I might drywall eventually.
Even plywood might do bit I'm not sure how to build the frame.

Hmm...I guess it depends ob how nice you want it to look. If you ever need to service them, then you'll want something that can easily be removed. I would build a smaller sized box that would slide into the existing cavity leaving enough room behind it to allow for the pipes. For the time being, you could just prop a board on edge to protect them from being hit by storage items.

After rotating and reorienting the pics I see it differently. This is a tall cupboard as opposed to a half as I first saw it.
Using 2 x 4's and 1/4 wall board I would build a wall that can be taken out for future maintenance.

Just got to ask, why was it plumbed and wired like that instead of running it behind the drywall where it would not be seen at all?

Blue pipe was installed originally and I need to orient it the same as the white. Presumably, the installer thought it easier than damaging the wall. So, now I have to make a wall around it.
Do I build a frame or something else?
It runs vertically and then connects to a horizontal section before going up again to the 2nd floor.
So the vertical frame needs to join the horizontal.

Attach framing 2x's to the wall and cover with 1/4" plywood. Attach the plywood with screws to allow easy removal if needed.
