The basic problem is that wheelie bins are unattractive. Many people choose to buy one of our wooden wheelie bin stores to solve this problem. Are you willing to do any maintenance or upkeep? Neither screens nor covers require much maintenance, but you may find that some manufacturers recommend wooden screens to be stained or treated against rot. How Much Time Do I Have? While concocting your wheelie bin storage ideas, consider your recycle boxes (if you have any!). These aren’t exciting to look at, either, so you may choose to incorporate recycling bin shelving in your bin storage design. If you decide to build your bin storage yourself, ensure you use treated timber – most bin stores are made from FSC timber because it’s responsibly sourced.

Cons: Requires some work to install, not suitable for all properties (can't be installed on concrete generally) It’s made entirely from polyester and is suited for the outdoors, and it shouldn’t fade easily too, so should last you a while. It’s a really solid screen and can easily be attached to walls or bins etc, so it’s perfect for screening off your bins and making it fit in with your garden full of flowers. It’s not difficult to install and again, since these screens are multipurpose, there’s a few different ways you can screen your bins with them. We suggest in a corner or by placing the product directly onto the bins so it hangs off. The screening is made from 4 separate panels that are connected by easy to attach hinges on the metal frame (the front has 2 panels). When together, the screen measures 115cm high by 180cm wide and 81cm deep. The hinged side panels can be opened easily to access the bin when it is time for the refuse to be collected, and just as easy to close afterwards.

Relatively easy to install, with different styles available, slatted fence panels can even add a decorative touch to your garden.

If a contemporary design is your kind of style, a red cedar bin store may be just the thing for you. Red cedar is an excellent choice for a bin store, as it’s durable in damp climates. You can trust that your cedar bin store won’t decay, shrink, warp, or swell, even in the most severe weather conditions. The fact that the trellis is extendable means that you can cover as many or as few bins as you like (the construction extends to up to 1.8 metres). There are no doors or side panels, so pulling bins in and out is easy and convenient. Though there are obviously large gaps in the trellis, growing plants up it would reduce bin visibility. On the other hand, the plastic material should be UV and weather resistant, and ideally dirt resistant too. It might also fade over time compared to wood, so ideally keep it out of the sun. Both materials will be absolutely fine, but you just need to consider it before you buy. If you wish to go for wood then we suggest treating it with some outdoor protector, but if you wish to go for plastic, just keep in mind it needs to have those characteristics for it to last. Personally I think plastic will last longer as it’s more resistant to weather, but they don’t look as good, so it’s about personal choice really.

Made from natural woven willow with a strong metal framework, the strands of willow are woven round the metal framework, giving it an extra level of support as well as making each panel easy to move individually. When considering the aesthetic side of things, units aren’t the best, but they don’t look bad. For gardens with plenty of flowering plants, we suggest trellising screens. If you have lots of greenery or lots of plants, covers will help blend the bins in. How many bins?
