Wheelie bins have become a necessary, but ugly, part of waste disposal in our homes. They are extremely useful but dont exactly look appealing, especially the bigger 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 thought about constructing a special shed for the bins?

You may be able to install a shed that is purpose built for the bin. These sheds are slightly higher than the bin, as this allows 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 ideally have a concrete floor ” this will make cleanups of spills much more straightforward.

Can you build your own?

If you have a working knowledge of 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 dimensions and style you want and it is sometimes less expensive to build your own. Some hardware stores have plans to help you with the measurements and assembly. It is also possible to buy a screen or shed in kit form and assemble it yourself.

If however, do-it-yourself is not your thing, you are most likely better off selecting from ready made wheelie bin storage solutions or having someone custom build from your requirements.

Where is the most ideal place to situate the screen or shed?

When considering where to place the screen or shed, you should be mindful of where the collection point is and the proximity to the residence as well as having the bin located where unpleasant odours will not be detected from the house. Find a happy medium ” not too far away from the house that it becomes a real chore to take out the rubbish, but not too far from the collection point that you are leaving it to the last minute to put it out.

Finally

Be sure to select a screen or shed that suits your budget and your personal style. That way, those ugly but essential monsters will be pleasantly disguised.
