Project turned out great. Really jealous of the assembly table. Just a thought, put your enclosure on patio pavers. It will last even longer when it’s not on the wet grass and mud
Your trash collection people must be nice. Ours see so much as a misalignment of the bins by the kerb and they don't bother to empty them. Yesterday they just randomly decided to skip a bunch of bins in my street.

I’ve never heard of having to leave your cans by the road. Mine are by the house and I take them to the road on garbage day. If I had the space I would love a build like this to hide the can but I don’t have the room. It’s a beautiful build though.
I hope your trash collector knows where those bins are or they will just drive past. In our country you pull your bins to outside your gate and leave them there on the pavement, when the truck pulls up they pull the bin to the truck and that tips the bin into the truck and it's emptied, the trouble is if that bin is too heavy to pull they leave it there until the next fortnight, too heavy? it's not them that tips it into the truck for christ sake. When i was a kid the bin men as we called them would come into your back garden (you have to remember to unlock the back gate) grab you metal bin, sling it over his shoulder and off to the truck he went, then he tipped it into the back of the truck and then went back to your garden, put the bin down, put the lid back on it then out the gate and closed it behind, those were the days no moaning that the bin is too heavy and they emptied the bin every week not every two weeks as it is now.

Depends on where you are in the state. If you're in/near the city you can just bring the garbage can to the street, but in more rural areas it's up to what the garbage company wants.
i'm about to build this, the only issue I see is that the top is flat without any rake, i also will add hydraulics so when one lifts the lid there's a bit of help any particular reason you have a flat top ?
how did you know the gusset would lower the strength of the door to where u decided to take them out? Also, would you have needed to put a bracing under the floor of the home so the weight of the trash doesn't deform it? I am asking because I am still relatively new to woodworking design.
It's better to have the hinges as far apart as possible to best handle the torque from the weight of the door. The gussets just got in the way of the hinges. You could add an additional frame brace down the middle of the floor slats and you wouldn't need to worry about any damage. My garbage cans aren't very large so I wasn't worried about needing extra strength, but it's not a bad idea to make it more robust
Sadly this won't work here in Texas, our garbage cans are large 50 gallon cans on wheels, we usually roll them to the curb on trash day and then roll them back down the driveway when done. Great design though!
Richy and Stevenbrowningsr, we have similar issues here, but my wife wants the garbage can to be hidden when at the house and this style is what she wants, so I’m modifying the design to fit the large wheely bins we have.

Excellent job. Very good aesthetics as well. Well presented and well explained. Keep up the goog work.

Looks great. Very functional. I need one of these soon as we have bears in the neighborhood that keep getting into garbage cans.
when r u adding the plans for Cedar Slat Garbage Can Enclosure to the website
Yes I’m looking for the plans too - when are they coming?

Nice design. You will probably want to add some lift struts to that top lid to keep it open while putting your trash in the cans.
I was originally going to do that, but was under a time crunch to get it done so I decided to axe the idea
“Here at Bear Mountain Builds we do it the hard way so it is perfect.” AKA we have OCD 😂🤣
Awesome build great work
I love your videos, dude. Thank you!
So flipping awesome.
where do you find the plans for the build? Could not find them on your website
Still working on putting them together. Hopefully I'll have them done in the next week or so
Any updates?
Great job, I wanna build the same, since I wanna hide Trash 🗑

Nice .. very nice .. as usual

any particular reason you have a flat top ?
The slats have spaces in between them so there isn’t really a point to having a rake since water can enter anyway
Where you live, they don’t have the robotic arm trash trucks? The bin is very nice, but won’t the bottom be ruined with rain and snow?
It's a bit more rural and the garbage men just grab the bins and toss them in

The trucks that dump our bins don't have the "remove the bin from the enclosure" function either. Sort of archaic having people that dump your trash.

@@The50DollarWorkshop yeah I can see it modified for sure, would have to be a lot bigger to fit our giant wheeled cans

@@RichyN25 yep, gotta make it about 52” tall inside.
I like very much to see your work…. But the music.. 😮
