Looks pretty groovy.

Tidy job!

I was thinking (not knocking) that if you have a hose connected to the port wont that flap remain open, leaving you vulnerable to yobbos and maybe someone knocking their head on it?

May do but i like the idea of it being lockable keeps the cold air of it etc. The hose reel & a cone  will be underneath it so they would have to be blind not to see it
