Choosing the Right Bin Store Size
Single Bin Stores: Ideal for compact frontages or separate recycling needs.
Double & Triple Units: The standard choice for family homes, providing a cohesive look for general waste and recycling bins.
Combination Stores: Feature internal shelving specifically designed to hold standard council recycling crates alongside your wheelie bins.
Why We Chose This Range
“We stock the Garden Village range because they utilize 50x50mm heavy-duty framing. Most bin stores are tucked away in damp, shaded corners of the garden where wood rot is accelerated. By using Tanalith E pressure treatment, these stores are protected against fungal decay for at least 10 years without needing annual painting. It’s a 'fit and forget' solution for a part of the garden that usually gets the least attention.”
— Matt, Founder of Greenhouse Stores🔧 Matt's Installation Tip: The "Gate Sag" Prevention
Wheelie bins are heavy when full. If your bin store doors aren't perfectly aligned, they will eventually sag and catch on the floor. You must ensure the store sits on a perfectly level surface—ideally paving slabs or concrete. If the ground is even slightly sloped, the timber frame will twist, causing the automated lid chains to snap and the doors to jam. Always check the level across the front posts before tightening the final screws.”
Frequently Asked Questions about Wheelie Bin Storage
-
What size wheelie bin do your stores fit?
Our stores fit all standard UK council wheelie bins. We offer specific configurations for 140L, 240L (most common), and 360L bins. Check the "Dimensions" tab on any product page to confirm your bin's height and width before ordering.
-
How does the automated lid opening work?
Our stores feature a connecting chain that attaches the timber lid of the store to the plastic lid of your wheelie bin. When you lift the wooden lid, it automatically pulls your bin lid open simultaneously, allowing for hands-free rubbish disposal.
-
Do I need a concrete base?
A concrete or paved base is highly recommended. Because the bins are heavy and the doors need to swing freely, any ground movement or subsidence will cause the doors to misalign. A solid, level surface ensures the unit remains functional for years.
-
Is the wood fox-proof?
Yes. By enclosing your bins in a heavy-duty timber chest with secure latch doors, you prevent foxes and rodents from being able to knock the bins over or chew through the plastic lids to reach food waste.
