Description

DIY Plan for building a trash bin enclosure for two large trash bins. This trash bin enclosure is designed to hide the trash containers in a neat and organized way at the entrance or along the hedge. The construction has three walls and a practical opening for easy access. Stability comes from five buried footings and diagonal supports that lock the frame, while horizontal boards in two dimensions create an airy, modern, and clean feel that fits stylish garden environments. The board dimensions can be combined in different ways if you want to vary the expression within the same framework.

The purpose is clear: the enclosure accommodates two large trash bins and helps you keep the yard tidy without compromising accessibility when the containers need to be rolled out.

The construction time is about two days and the difficulty level is easy, making the project suitable even for those who do not build every weekend. The frame is built on footings, the walls are screwed together section by section, and the diagonal supports are mounted to take up lateral loads. Finish with the horizontal boards to achieve the characteristic slatted design and the sloping top edge that gives a light, modern expression.

Recommended tools are a miter saw for precise cuts, a drill for efficient assembly, a level for straight lines, and measuring tools to ensure all sections fit. The DIY Plan includes a complete material list, cutting and sawing instructions, as well as assembly steps, and each part has a clear drawing that makes the work straightforward and predictable from the first cut to the last screw.
