Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
Your bin store is supplied flat-packed, meaning self-assembly is required. Follow the detailed instructions provided in the package. It's recommended to have basic tools such as a screwdriver and potentially a drill (for pilot holes if needed) on hand. Lay out all components before starting and ensure you have sufficient space. Assembling on a flat, stable surface is ideal. Take your time to ensure all connections are secure for stability and longevity.
Compatibility
This bin store is designed to accommodate up to two standard wheelie bins, with a maximum capacity of 240 litres each. The internal load space dimensions are approximately 62.5cm wide, 109cm high, and 74cm front to back for each compartment. Please measure your specific wheelie bins to ensure they fit comfortably within these dimensions before assembly.
Care & Maintenance
The wooden frame is ACQ treated, which provides excellent durability and resistance to rot and insect infestation, making it suitable for outdoor use. To maintain its appearance and prolong its life:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the wooden surfaces periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Wood Protection: While ACQ treated, an annual application of a clear wood sealant or stain designed for outdoor use can further protect the wood from UV degradation and moisture, helping to preserve its grey finish.
