Product Information

Full details

This double bin storage unit is designed for homeowners seeking to hide unsightly wheelie bins while enhancing their garden aesthetic with integrated floral displays. Ideal for those who value both curb appeal and functional outdoor organization, the unit provides secure, weather-resistant storage for two standard bins. The primary caveat to note is that it utilizes a forward-tilt chain system rather than a top-opening lid, which requires a specific approach when disposing of everyday trash.

FAQs

Does this unit fit all sizes of wheelie bins?

It is designed to house two standard residential wheelie bins. Please check your specific bin dimensions against the unit's internal dimensions before purchasing.

Can I open the bin from the top?

No, this specific model is designed with a front-opening door and a tilt system; it does not feature a traditional lift-up lid.

Is the unit waterproof?

The unit is weather-resistant, meaning it is built to endure rain and outdoor conditions; however, it is not strictly waterproof.

How do I secure the bins inside?

The bins are secured via the front-opening doors which include lockable handles for additional security.

Are the planters removable?

The planters are integrated into the top of the unit structure and are not intended to be removed.

Can I paint the unit a different color?

You can repaint the unit, but ensure you use high-quality exterior-grade paint suitable for the material to maintain weather protection.

Troubleshooting

Doors are difficult to open or close

Check that the unit is on level ground. Adjust the hinges if the frame has shifted slightly over time.

Bin does not tilt forward correctly

Ensure the support chain is attached securely to both the bin and the door frame as per the assembly instructions.

Wood surface appears weathered

Apply a weather-resistant exterior wood treatment or paint compatible with grey finishes to maintain the protective seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves garden curb appeal by hiding waste bins
  • Provides additional planting space for decorative displays
  • Sturdy, weather-resistant materials for long-term outdoor durability
  • Lockable front doors prevent unauthorized access or accidental movement
  • Easy front-loading access through a tilting mechanism

Cons

  • No top-opening lid means trash must be disposed of via the front-tilt method
  • Requires assembly upon delivery
  • The footprint is fixed to the dimensions of the unit
  • Planters require drainage consideration to prevent water pooling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your storage unit, place it on a flat, level surface to prevent the doors from sticking. During assembly, ensure all fasteners are tightened securely. The unit is designed for standard-sized residential wheelie bins. For care, wipe down the grey slatted panels periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. When planting, ensure you use a suitable liner or drainage material within the top planters to protect the wood from excessive moisture saturation. Check the support chain mechanism annually to ensure it remains taut and fully functional.
