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.
Oooh that's a good idea! I'm doing that
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
Good tip Dave! I do need to do this
Loved your design… so simple but great looking. I’m going to build one just like it. When will you have the detailed plans ready?
Precisely what I was planning to make for my bins. Nice job.
Glad I could help!
Spot on job. No fuss,simple to follow, and great looking result.
Thanks Ben, glad you liked it 👍
Thanks for posting this really useful video. I've just finished a quad bin enclosure and based it on your build. Hope to see more videos from you.
Glad it was helpful!, would love to see a pic of your quad bin store
Nicely done. As long as you are happy with it, thats what is important. Easy build.
Very true!
Nice build, just what we are looking for. Good video, clear instructions and no annoying music or graphics. Hopefully you'll post more in the future. Subscribed 👍
Much appreciated John, glad you liked it. Ive got plenty of jobs that need doing around the house/garden, so new videos will be coming soon.
Brilliant! I am going to make one this weekend - thanks! Also, good tip about carabiner clips.
No problem 👍
So glad I found this video. Informative and easy to follow. I'm building one of these today.
Glad it was helpful!
Top job, been meaning to do this for ages, will be doing one of these when the weather picks up. Cheers
Thanks Alex, good luck with your bin store. I hope the video helped
Thank you so much, very clear instructions, I will have a go in the summer. No annoying music too.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much! Just what I needed to help me build my own!
Glad I could help Caroline :)
This is such a great video. Really well thought out and clear. Thanks loads. I don’t trust myself with a chop saw so it’s a bit of arm exercise for me!
Glad you enjoyed it
Simple is good! Looks nice too. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure 😊
Just what I needed
Great job 👍. Exactly what I was looking for. well done

Perfect cheers mate
No problem 👍
Brilliant stuff 👏
Thanks mate
Great job , fair play to ye mate.
Thanks 👍
GREAT Job matey! Ive been wanting to build something like this for time, but watching your video has just inspired me to finally get crackin! My best mate works for a (Pallet Yard) so im lucky when it comes to (Timber £ Costs) for projects like this. But even still, id be happy to pay out for "New Materials" to achieve results like yours!
(Just A Little Handy Tip, But Not A Necessity! But If You're Assembling Any Type Of Frame-Work (Alone). I Find Using Those ((1-Handed Quick Release Trigger Clamps)) Can Be A Great Help, Just To Keep Things All Squared Whilst Getting Those 1st Few Screws/Fixings In Place).
Thanks man! Ive just Subbed, So keep the vids coming! 😉👍
Thanks, the clamp is a good tip mate.
Well done And nicely explained.Have liked and subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
Great video, I just bought that very same nail gun. First time using a nail gun and find that when I nail the timber, the timber slightly moves due to the power of the nail gun
Yeah you wil get used to it. When framing like this I like to kneel on one piece to stop movement. You should
be able to get the timber to stay still and it is a massive time saver
Attach some chain from the bin lid to your timber lid (has to be quick release) so when you lift your timber lid the bin lid also opens.
Thanks Drew, I did actually do this later on
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
Nice and easy!!! Hope you get more Subscribers soon.... good luck!
I hope so too, thanks forthe support Dave
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
Really good clear video (also liked your log store one). What size timber did you use for the frame and slats please?
The frame was 2x2 and the slats were 4x1
@@thediyfix thanks mate
Love this! Is there any way you could put the hinges on the inside so you can’t see them?
How much did materials cost all together ?
& how much would you charge to come and build one of these for me in Manchester 😂 thank you!
Hi Sophie, materials were under £200 if I remeber correctly.
Unfortunately Manchester is a bit far for me Im in North Yorkshire 😂
Looks good mate where do you get the fence panel cladding from? Was thinking of using pallet wood but might not look as good
Just got it from local builders merchant
Hi, this looks great. Would feather edge work for the panels as opposed to butting them up together
I don't see why not. You can clad it any way you like I just wanted to keep it simple :)
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?
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
@@thediyfix Cheers, mate. What about the gap at the top of the door? Did you decide on a specific height you wanted the door to go to and was there a reason for the size of gap you chose? Looks about 150 mm?
Hi, well impressed, do you have a list of the amount of wood and wood measurements that you used to do the job, thank-you.
Hi Mike, glad you liked it. There are details in the description and a link to an article on my wesite
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
How much did all the wood cost
Hi, great job. I see in your description that it took 22 lengths of 2 x 2. So is that 52.8m total or is that 22 units cut to length?
Hi Shane, I worked it out before I bought the timber. The 22 lengths included waste
Very simple instructions, you make it look very easy , I'm going to give it a go, thank you.
You welcome. Have fun!
What's the cost for material?
nice. Perhaps add a wire and a hook to the top door so you open the bin together with the top door.
Good tip! I did actually did this after the video. I just bought some chain from my local handyman, cut to length
Only thing i was interested in was an approx materials list so i coikd work out cost to know if i wanted to buy everything and attempt build but otherwise its a gret video
Hi mate there is a full materials list in the video description
Could you do this with pallets
Potentially you could, but pallet wood isn’t treated in most cases. This will mean the wood deteriorates faster if you don’t weatherproof it yourself.
@@thediyfix perfect thank you 😊
Nice and simple, although I suspect you can't get your bin out of the right hand one because of the frame you built on the inside of the door. Not without flipping the hinges to the left side.
You are correct I did end up flipping the hinges :)
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
Stupid question but what sort of wood did you use? And did you treat it?
Hi Chris, the wood was already pressure treated
What size timber did you use for frame
It was 2x2 for the frame
What size is the wood your using for the frame
2x2 treated timber. All the timber is listed in the video description
Can you use 2x4?
You can do but it will just cost more
What goes in blue bin ?
Recycling
Looks pretty numpty-proof. Think I'll give it a bash...
Good luck with it Mike
where wi;; i find the list of materials please
In the video description mate
Did you finish the front off with cut to size fence boards?
That’s correct yes

Also let me know in the comments below if you would like detailed instructions creating. If enough people want it I will create plans
Looks abit to tight for end door to open by the wall 😲 can't imagine that bin fits anymore 😂😂
yeah I thought so too. looks like door needs to swing past 90 degrees for the bin to clear the door frame.
@Paul Read - Good point, but the width of the bays is taken off the blue bin which is a bit wider than the other two bins. So as long as it's either the brown or grey bin in the right hand side, he should be golden. 😎
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
I hope you’ve built yourself a workbench since this video??
No mate, I dont need one and I dont have room for one
I had to do a project and it was so hard for me. I feel so stupid. Lol.
How much did it cost?
Around £180 including all the fixings timber and ironmongery. Timber is reasonably expensive at the minute.
I know friends who spent £300-£400 buying one and the quality and stability is nowhere near as good
plan would save me some time mate, what the total cost in 2022? they are around £400 each online!
Great tutorial. I'm a single mom in the USA. Wish someone would give me these instructions in inches.
Glad you liked it. My appoligies for the measurements but we use the metric system here in the UK
Hi. What type of wood did u use for the frame .Cheers in advance
If I remember correctly it was pressure treated 2x2
