Bin store

A bin store, also known as a bin shelter or bin cabinet, is a large outdoor enclosure designed to conceal your bins, keeping them sheltered and protected from the elements. A bin storage unit also helps deter pests that might otherwise overturn your containers. Since bins are far from aesthetically pleasing, these shelters allow you to hide them and preserve the visual appeal of your garden. Furthermore, a bin store helps prevent unpleasant odours and maintains a clean outdoor environment. Available in wood, steel or PVC, with side-opening, front-opening or top-opening access.

Which material should you choose for your outdoor bin shelter?

The wooden bin store

Nothing compares to a wooden bin store for concealing your outdoor bins in front of your home or in your garden in an attractive and natural way. A wooden bin shelter will mask the unsightly plastic of your bins and lend a harmonious feel to your outdoor space. For maximum longevity, it is however necessary to maintain the wood and protect it against insects and mould. Suitable specialist products are readily available in stores.

The metal bin storage unit

A metal treated against corrosion can withstand all weather conditions. A metal bin store will therefore prove equally resistant to sun, heavy rain, humidity and wind, as well as to insect intrusion, offering you optimal durability.

The PVC bin cabinet

A resin bin store is the simplest solution if you are seeking maximum resistance with minimal maintenance. PVC withstands the elements, insects and corrosion alike, is particularly watertight and does not absorb any odours. Its only potential weakness is exposure to sunlight. In that case, simply opt for a UV-treated bin shelter to preserve the original shape and colour of your bin store for many years to come.

What size of bin store should you choose?

Another important factor when selecting your bin store is its size. Indeed, bin shelters are available as single, double or triple units, depending on the number of bins you own. The most common capacities are 120 litres and 240 litres, which correspond to standard bin sizes. Larger bin stores are nonetheless available should you require additional space. Be sure to match the size of your bin shelter to your available space, so as not to obstruct pathways or waste valuable room unnecessarily. Easy access should also be a priority for a more convenient daily use.

Where should you place your outdoor bin?

For direct access to your bins, you may install your bin store close to your home. Positioned near the street, it will prove practical for waste collection. You may also place it in a discreet area of the garden to create a tidy and orderly storage solution away from sight. Finally, a garden shed or a garden cabinet can equally conceal a small outdoor bin.
