  • Build your own triple wheelie bin store with this simpe DIY tutorial.
    Read more here: thediyfix.com/...
    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.

    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

      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

    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?

    • @thediyfix

    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

    • @thediyfix

      @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.
