A very boring thread about wheelie bin storage...

[HexyAndIKnowIt]

I need to find a triple bin store. It needs to go in the front of the house so the nicer looking the better.
The area where it's going is a bit wooded so I want something that ideally isn't going to stand out like a sore thumb. Thought I'd solved this with a rattan one from Vida XL only to see in the small print:

Note: It is recommended to cover the product during rain, snow or frost

Which is kind of the point of an outdoor wheelie bin store....
Anyone found anything nice lately?

You might want to get something to shield him too.

Hexy what an absolutely beautiful garden you have, your weeping willow is stunning.

We stash our bins at the front at the bottom of part of the drive and I was looking to screen mine in, I was looking at the triple ones but they are ridiculous in price but we are time poor otherwise we would make one too.

Is there no local handyman who could knock one up for you?

Thank you. We call it the whomping willow in winter as it smacks the pond quite violently if its really windy 😁

I've had a look on marketplace and cant see anyone locally advertising anything, there are a few a bit further out but to be honest their prices are comparable to the few I posted above so probably wouldn't save us that much.
The guy that loves behind us is pretty handy carpentry wise, but he's also very slow and ideally I'd like it this side of Christmas lol

We do yes. Recently dropped on a boat on Facebook so we’ve been doing that up over lockdown as well. It’s about 14ft in the middle at present, but it’s a natural spring fed pond so it rises and falls anyway.

I've learned my something new for the day It would never have occurred to me that I needed storage for my bin. It's bad enough finding suitable units for the house.

I wouldn’t have bothered normally but I park my car in front of the side gate where the bins come through. This worked well until I changed my car for a much bigger one. Now I have to move the car to get the bins out so figured it’s probably easier in a store in the front.

Added to that most of our garden is at the front so probably makes more sense to have the garden waste bin where it’s easier to get to anyway.

Ship not shop I mean!

[carrielou2007]

A local company made me one think they shop all over the U.K.? I have a double one, bin one side and two recycling boxes the other side. Has door to stop my naughty doggies (or foxes) getting in. They do all sorts imagine they would do a triple?? Somerset garden products as I say local to me, the chap came out and measured where I wanted it to go.

Crikey that's some pond! You boat on it?!? Lucky you

This company has drawn up plans to build a triple bin store which you can contract them for www.fentonrobertsgardendesign.co.uk/single-post/2015/09/06/How-to-make-a-Bin-Store-with-a-Green-Roof-1
I know you've mentioned that you're pretty busy at the moment but maybe get hold of the plans and get a local handyman to quote to build it for you?

Come now, we need photos. Like Southend pier?[/quote]
Haha no nothing that grand. Just something to moor the little boat we use too
.
I think we’ll probably go with the sue Ryder screen. If it still sticks out then I might add some willow screen to the doors maybe to blend it in a bit.

Tiger Sheds do good stuff, but priced appropriately.

How about making a frame and covering with something like this.
Two sizes – Height: 1m x Length: 3m. Height: 1.5m x Length: 3m.
Costs about £40.00

Rat hangout heaven.

[BewareTheBeardedDragon]

I'm always put off these because of the hassle I imagine in getting the bin out if it on bin day. I have opted for minimising the ugly by growing jasmine behind them and other plants up the side. My bins get really heavy and difficult to manoeuvre by bin day.

[Gemma2019]

These are all so nice, I would love one to cover my three wheelie bins. Unfortunately I live in east London and these would last about 15 minutes anywhere near my house before getting stolen.

Those asking me to post a picture of our homemade bin shelter, I can’t I’m afraid, because I’m in France until the end of the month.

[HexyAndIKnowIt]

@PigletJohn

if you can use a saw, a drill, and a screwdriver, you can make one.

I like Decking Boards for outdoor and garden carpentry. You can use a fence stain in brown or green to blend in. I think it looks better than fence panels, and it's very sturdy.

We'd considered this, but tbh DH is flat out at work and neither of us really have the time at this point to build one.

We built a pier into the pond over the summer, probably should have started the bin store as it would have been more practical 😂

[PaulaSmith1]

How about some camouflage netting?

[tdm1]

@fluffiphlox

During a fit of boredom at the height of lockdown my husband made one from a couple of palettes and some roofing felt. It’s quite presentable.

Please post a picture!
