Wheelie Bin Storage – Disguising An Ugly Bin
Wheelie bins have become a necessary, but ugly, aspect of waste disposal in our homes. They are very useful but dont look particularly appealing, especially the larger versions. How then, can you camouflage this useful monster in between collection days? Here, we will discuss a number of winning methods of storing the dimensions of the bin or accommodate multiple bins.
Have you considered a shed for the bins?
It is also possible to install a shed that is purpose built for the bin. These sheds are slightly higher than the bin, to allow for the lid to be raised and have an access door at the front of the structure. As with the permanent screen, these sheds can be designed to suit several bins or a number of sizes. These sheds can be made from wood or metal to suit your specifications.
Sheds for wheelie bins should if possible be built on a concrete floor ” this will make cleanups of spills much easier.
Can you build your own?
If you are handy with basic tools and construction, then it is possible to design and build your own screen or shed for your wheelie bin. This way, you can be certain that you have the right size and style you want and it is usually less expensive to build your own. Some hardware stores have plans to assist you with the measurements and assembly. It is also possible to buy a screen or shed in kit form and put it together yourself.
If however, you are not confident enough to “do-it-yourself”, you are probably better advised to choose from ready made wheelie bin storage solutions or having someone custom build from your requirements.
Where is the best place to situate it?
When deciding where to put the screen or shed, you should be aware of where the collection point is and distance from the house as well as having the bin located where unpleasant odours will not be detected from the house. Find a compromise ” not too far away from the house that it becomes a real nuisance to take out the garbage, yet not too far from the collection point that you are leaving it to the last minute to put it out.
And lastly
Choose a screen or shed that fits in with your budget and your individual style. That way, those ugly but necessary monsters will be pleasantly disguised.
