Great job 👍🏻 - if you have problems with animals (flies, maggots or orther little creatures): close the lid of the containers, add a chain to the lid of your bin-store and use a hook to attach the lid to the chain. So you can open the bin with lifting the lid. (Hope I wrote it in an understandable way - as I am German 🫣
Lovely looking bin store. One point for anyone wanting to make their own, you should always brace your doors back to the hinge side to stop them dropping.
Just trying to piece this together in my brain... Does this mean the bottom side of the diagonal should be at the hinge side and the top side of the diagonal furthest away from the hinge? Thanks for this comment.
@@BenLinfordUK yes it puts the weight of the gate onto the fixed side. SWI Fence has a great video demonstrating the this point. Search for “The only way to brace a gate”
@@BenLinfordUK Any brace should head down towards the the bottom hinge. Also your braces should never be at an angle of less than 45 degrees - below this they are functionally useless. Lastly try where possible to run the braces between rails only, not into the corner of the joint, so you don't add stress to the joint and if you use opposing birdsmouth joint to house the ends of the braces into the rails, any sag only serves to tighten the brace).
Thanks Mark for a great video! I am hoping to make one here back in the States! If you can ever put together an instructional video with a part list on line, I would be happy to purchase them from you
In the process of building my own at the moment. Just to make the doors and the lids, been great to use your video as a bit of inspiration. Look forward to more videos like this😁
11:39 if you pop a rope on the lid and the support you lift up, it will automatically lift it up and you just hold if while dropping door back down. Or cut the support in half and put a hinge in to attach the 2 pieces. On the lid move the baton up to give the support place to be attach with a bolt at the lid and on the side of the bottom, then when you lift the lid the support will automatically open up and lock in place, when you close you hold the lid and push on the support. Or easiest is go buy outdoor struts and attach that to the lids of the top. Great job! I will be sharing a link to your video and point them to your channel.
I'm pretty sure the props you added to hold the bin store roof flaps up must have prevented the lids of the bins from opening. I think you then covered that error by folding th bin lids right back and behind the bin as the tops appear to be permanently open at the end of the video. Could I be wrong?
I was looking for an idea on how to build my own rubbish bin with wheels so I can store scrap metal in it, and when it's full, I can wheel it to my truck so it'll be easier to load... Though this video didn't cover what I needed, i got an idea on how to build the frame. I'm a noob in woodworking by the way. I guess I'll be using free pallets for my trial effort. Wish me luck and thanks for the excellent video
Having split with my ex, I'm learning how to do things for myself. Thankyou for this brilliant video as I now have a guide on how to build my own stores.
great job! Can i suggest to attach some hooks to the underside of the lift up sections and to the bin lid connected with steel wire so when you lift up the wooden lid, the bin lid opens too?! Just a thought :D
I'd deem it very helpful if you could tell me what the height of the rear and front uprights were to get the same slope as you. I was very impressed by your finished article and have just had a load of timber delivered ready to emulate your design. I'm doing a three door jobbie with 60cm doors.
@@KAPWoodworkandbuilding thanks. I was well impressed with your video but I am of the firm belief that from point 3.07 in the video where you just have the back frame where two seconds later you have a carcass you must have had an extra pair of hands! Prove me wrong.
Very nice job, I'm about to do the same. BTW I think the bracing on two of the doors are the wrong way round, the rt. hand dble. and the far right. 👍 😎
It's taken me a while to work out why but I think I've got it- so, you're bracing in the direction that fixes opposite the hinge, to better support the weight? Thanks for pointing it out (so nicely), it's something I might not have thought of. Cheers.
Both right hand doors are wrong and May drop. Left hand doors are great. Also to save materials the back could have been left in clad but I suppose it can be moved to another location if required
How did you get the top roof doors to stay in place, not drop down? Also for the roof to be at an angle did you have to cut the timber at an angle or did you cut it straight? I have been given a load of pallets so I plan to make a bin store (I have no diy skills) but your video is the best I have found online so far.
Hi Donna. In this particular design the shiplap overlapping the top door frame holds the doors in place, I also cut the roof timbers at an angle using a sliding bevel to mark the angles. No I don’t have any instructions, this video is just a guide pleading use what you can and adapt for your own situation. Mark
@@KAPWoodworkandbuilding Thank you very much for this great video. It's given me inspiration for me to try this out for myself as a total novice. Do you have a video (or any advice) of how is best to calculate the cutting angle for the roof to have a slope? My roof will be sloping from 1100mm to 1000mm and is 6200mm deep. Is there a formula for this please? Many Thanks for your help. KindRegards Jonny
I saw you using the DeWalt battery powered saw, but most of the time back to your hand saw! Paul Sellers would be proud of you. Is the feather edge wood treated as well? It looks like it is. Great job using the power saw to rip thin boards. They stays are a great idea. Very nicely done.
I now have a lot of battery power tools but I still go back to hand tools a lot. It’s what I grew up with and I find it strangely peaceful and comfortable. Hope your well David.
I don't see any ventilation. Now that you have been using this bin store for a while, do you miss having some holes or slots to cut down on bad smellies?
@@KAPWoodworkandbuilding it looks like the bins in the store have their lids folded over and round the back, so when you open the wooden lid you can access the bin without opening the bin lid as well - is that right? How's the smell/flies/pests in that case?
@@bbtom10 you can quite happily keep the lids closed and open both lids or pull your bins out. There is no smell as you still have a lid. All bins in the height of summer will at times get smelly.
I really like this and would love to make it, but from what I can gather this would cost £350-£400 in materials and you can buy one for around £500. I'd really enjoy the experience of making it myself but the cost saving is pretty small, especially bearing in mind my finish is likely to be worse than a purchased unit.
Nice job Mark and I like the way you laugh a lot😊. I’ve been thinking of doing something to hide our WBs as they’re in the front garden. Your video may well prompt me to get going. BTW have you permanently removed the lids from the wheelie bins? 12:06 & 12:20 . Would be a bit dodgy around here with all the wind we get at the roadside. Keep up the good fun work.
Having built one of these "Bespoke Bin Stores" I can see why people think that Mark has taken off the bin lids. In fact he's just folded them overdo that they hang behind the bins. Mark's problem is that his props to hold the bin store lid up stick out and stop the bin lids being opened. As an alternative I've screwed one end of a piece of batten to the underneath of the front of the lid and at the other end I've cut a V shaped notch to hold the batten against the front edge of the bin store and hence the hold the lid clear.

Beautiful 👍🏻 building one for brother next week. Will definitely use your video as a guide. Fantastic 👌🏻
Thank you Jonathan enjoy your build 😃
Greatwork!! ball park figure of cost of materials Mark?
very nice job man. Congrats
Nice job. So much cheaper than buying one. New sub.
Thank you so much Richard
This is genius
Looks spot on !

yeah, looks that way that the bins are constantly open. Does that mean you're gone get a slight smell coming out of the bin bay?
Great job Mark. Will be putting one together this weekend I hope. Jusy to double check - What wood size wood did you use for the frame? 2x2? Cheers.
Nice looking bin store Mark, well done.

Super coffre à poubelle, mais très long en explication
Nice build Mark 👍 Regards JP
Great vid thanks. Just one thing..i think you need to invest in a chop saw.
open bins without a lid will attract mice
Any idea on cost of materials, ballpark at least?
Crazy we all need a space big enough for a car to get our bins in . Quality job . ❤ how much was cost ?
At the time about £350 for materials
Both right hand doors are wrong and May drop. Left hand doors are great.
Also to save materials the back could have been left in clad but I suppose it can be moved to another location if required
Thanks for your comments. I have since changed the doors. Much appreciated 😃

How did you do the angles? That would have been helpful to see...
Using a sliding bevel
Hello Small Workshop Adventures - are there plans available for this project and any of your others? Thanks

Roughly how much did this cost to make? Great video thanks.
Ballpark now £350 just for materials
I don't see any ventilation. Now that you have been using this bin store for a while, do you miss having some holes or slots to cut down on bad smellies?
It’s not my bin store but I know the person I built it for and they are still happy.
very clever dude! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Helped me with my idea 😁👍 cheers.
Have you got a cut list for the material used? It's a great design and I'd love to replicate it
Sorry no.
Did you get the feather boards from Jewson? The longest boards they have are 1.8m
I did get them from Jewsons. You can get longer feather edge. I think 3.2 M just ask depends what your local has in stock
Does the arm that holds up the top block the lid to the bin from opening?
Depends on the size you make it. If a more restrictive space then it can be compromised but if enough space no.

Thank you gonna try myself bins are absolutely a eye sore
Enjoy the build 😃
Can I ask what rear to front angle you used please?
Apologies I couldn’t actually tell you the angle degrees. The back is approximately 100 mm taller than front.
What did u use mate 2x2 for the frame ?
Also how much wood did u use i.e 2x2 lengths and feather edge lengths
Why dont you run the slop going towards the back, so you dont get wet going out in the rain?
Fantastic job but please correct the bracing on door n2 and 4 if you haven't already. Overall very good looking job
Yes already have
How does one remove any heavy bins I.e.green bins if they are put in backwards ? Am I overthinking?
Very easily. 😃
How much did the wood cost for the job?
Approx £400
Can I ask what the cost of the materials were?
Apologies I’m not able to remember. Prices will be different now to when it was made early summer last year.
How much I can charge to a costumer for build the same thing
Sorry I can’t advise on this
Do you have instructions?
Not at the moment sorry
You’ve fitted Shiplap boards wrong way round!! Thin side should be covered so thick side shows!!
Looks good but you got your T&G the wrong way around, The fatter edge (6.20 mins) should be on the outside.
Thanks Peter 😃

Have you moved house?
No
Another video showing how to do things the hardest way you can think of

Bracing on door 2nd left is incorrect. Just sayin'

What wood was it u used to build the frame again. Cheers in advance
2x2 tannalised timber
