Build a trash bin cover

The bins are rarely what you want to see first on your property. With a homemade wooden bin cover you hide them neatly – in a style that suits the house – while the bins stay sheltered and easy to access. Here you’ll find DIY plans with a complete shopping list, dimensioned drawing and step-by-step assembly instructions.

Single or double?

• Trash bin cover simple – for one bin, with a modern, airy slat design. Easy level, built in 1–2 days.
• Trash bin cover double – for two large bins, with three walls, a stable frame on ground supports, diagonal bracing and horizontal slats in two widths. Easy level, about 2 days.

Hide the bin – in your style

The slat design gives the cover an airy, modern look that blends in by the façade, driveway or property line. Paint or treat it in the same colour as the house and the cover becomes part of the whole.

What’s included?

A digital PDF with a complete material list, dimensioned drawings (in millimetres), sawing and cutting instructions and step-by-step assembly.
