Quad bin store - self build

[con1_uk]

Hello,

We have 3 large recycling bins plus a smaller general waste bin, everyone else on our street stores them in their back garden but our ginnle to the back is not really wide enough and next doors fire flue blocks the way a little. I want to store them at the front but in one of those bin store jobbies, seen a few but they are silly money so I am thinking of building one, it don’t need to be substantial or anything, just something to keep them out of sight. Looked at those Gabions and also reed fencing with a wooden frame etc, I need some inspiration please folks.

I built a lean to, alongside, our hut. Just a timber frame for the walls, and roof, pallet timber, nailed onto the roof frame, then covered with roofing felt. I filled in the sides, with cheap fencing panels, cut down to fit, one of which is hinged, for access. It has space for four wheelie bins, although we only have three.

It is just high enough, to be able to open the bin lids, too low to walk in, so I arranged, a latching rope, pulley hooks onto the lids, to tug, to lift the bin lids, and retain them open, until released - leaves both hands free, when empting the vac, or an internal bin.

Pallet Wheelie Bin Shelter

Wheelie bins really aren't that pretty, so I decided to make a shelter primarily out of old pallets.

I am part of Valpak’s Environmental Champion teams and consequently I’ve been inspired to start looking for new ways to achieve sustainable goals at home.

Not that useful, you would have to get the bin out from the shelter, each time you wanted to put anything in the bin. It needed to either be higher, so the lid could be lifted, or the entire roof able to be lifted and propped, whilst rubbish is popped in.

You design it to suit yourself .

I did - my version works great

I made a store for our bins by making a frame and doors out of 3”x2” timber and then clad it with feather edge fence board.

Counts as an outbuilding forward of the principal elevation of the house - it's not permitted development, so you'll need planning permission.

And before anybody starts jumping up and down:

1) Do some research rather than just say that's wrong, cos it isn't. Check the Planning Portal, for example. They are looking into changing it, but I doubt it's happened yet.

2) I'm just the messenger - I didn't make the rules

Built a basic one from scrap wood at my brother's house, just to hold the bins in place as it's a bit of wind tunnel.

Did it on a saturday morning, knocked a few fenceposts in the ground, horizontal rails, then vertical 20x150 boards, with a slight gap to let the wind through. Put a bit of rope on carabiners across the front so they don't escape that way too.
