Build your own triple wheelie bin store with this simpe DIY tutorial.
Read more here: thediyfix.com/diy-wheelie-bin...
This is an extremely simple bin store that anyone can build, with even a small amount of DIY knowledge. The video goes through every part of the process step by step.
Tools required for your DIY wheelie bin store:
* Tape measure - Recomended tape - amzn.to/3RMH6hP
* Cordless drill/driver - Recomended - amzn.to/3tnYFdy
* Spirit level - Recomended set - amzn.to/3M6QYPR
* Hammer - Recomended - amzn.to/3PF1ONL
* Hand saw - Recomended - amzn.to/3ryfOAY
* Chop saw - If you dont have one a hand saw will be fine (just more effort) - amzn.to/3rs38vw
Materials required for your DIY wheelie bin store:
* 22 lengths of pressure treated 2X2 - Dimensions: Length 2.4m, width 45mm, thickness 45mm
* 23 lengths of pressure treated fence board - Dimensions: Length 3.6m, width 100mm, thickness 22mm (you could also opt for thinner boards)
* 1 length of pressure treated 2 x 1 - Dimensions: Length 2.4m, width 47 mm, thickness 22mm
* Decking screws - 200 x 50mm
* Decking screws - 200 x 75mm
* 3 sets of standard hinges (choose ones that will be better for outdoors)
* 3 sets of tee hinges
* 3 sets of lid handles
* 3 outdoor bolts for the doors.
Please note timber dimensions may vary depending on where you buy, so the above dimensions are not set in stone. Also prices will vary, so you should shop around.
Builders merchants and timber merchants will be the cheapest option, rather than big chain DIY stores.

You could add a chain and hook from your wooden lid to the bin lid, so that when you lift the wooden lid, the bin lid comes up with it. Saves struggling with 2 lids.

Nice video I made something like this myself a couple of years back and a good tip is to drill a couple of holes in the bin lid and add a cable tie as a loop then attach them to the underside of the lid so when you open the lid it opens the bin at the same time. I used some small carabiner clips to attach the chain to the bin so it’s easy to disconnect when you need to get the bins out

@metalmicky Жыл бұрын

Our three bin system works well by just having the ‘dirty’ bin with the lid down ,the other two, one is for recycling and our ‘paper or burning’ bin are both left open and turned round so when you lift the wood top it’s easy to just put in the plastics ,tins etc in one and paper that we use down the garden in the other ,I’ve stapled sheets of heavy duty plastic under the wood lids to keep the rain out of these two bins. I have also incorporated a counter balance cord and weight system to keep the lids up when lifted. Works well for me. First class video

Hi love the video and have my own materials to build this in line with your idea. One thing though. Have you noticed any issues with standing water impacting the wood on the lids? Thinking of putting a very small slope on it by making panels towards the back 1 or 2cm higher. But would be a lot easier to build on a plumb as you’ve done Thanks

I havent noticed an issue Donald, but you can certainly add a slope. My idea with the video was to make the build as simple as possible without any added complexity

Great video, a family member wants one of these so I will attempt this. Will be subscribing. One question: do you need to take account of the frame of the door when calculating the space for getting the bin in and out since the frame sits inside the gap for the bin?

@thediyfix Жыл бұрын

Good luck with the build. For the opening I didnt take acount for the door. This means you need to fully open it to get the bin out. You could always make it slightly wider if you have space. But it hasnt been an issue for me

@jh7078 11 ай бұрын

@mscoop74 2 жыл бұрын

Do you think the weight of the wood and the spaces between the boards will allow ample air flow? Don't want the lids getting pulled up by high winds. My bins were in plastic Keter store and the lid was ripped clean off.

Yeah, plenty of air flow and the wind would have to be pretty crazy to lift the lids

I may be wrong but there's something not quite right here. The 2" x 1" board that has been added along the top is shown jutting out from the frames when it is first fitted but, in the finished photos, it looks like extra trim has been added to make everything flush. That must also mean that extra pieces have been added to the two middle struts or else the doors wouldn't hang correctly. I didn't see any mention of this in the video. Also, the middle lid appears to be narrower than the other two but the video say they're all the same size?

Hi nick, you are correct, there is cladding added to bring it out to the same level. You just need to rip the bits down. As for the lids, they are exactly the same size

You are correct Paul. I actually re-hung the right hand done on the other side after the video. It only took two minutes but I never filmed it. The bin did fit but was tight. If you dont have a wall there, you wont have this issue
