Hide your Trash! Double Trash can Blind
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Everybody produces some trash and if you're anything like me you absolutely hate the colorful trash cans that ruin your beautiful backyard view. My solution was to build a hutch using pressure treated wood from the home center that would hide our two ugly green trash cans behind closed doors!

This is a very simple build that will take you an afternoon to complete and will make such a huge difference in your backyard aesthetic for a long time. This trash can blind will hide two 96 gallon trash cans, if you have more than that I would not suggest making it larger as the doors will tend to drag on the ground if they are any wider.
Construction is with deck screws and you can add some bracket hardware if you want, I started with some leftover hardware but ended up not liking how wobbly the structure was so I reverted back to butt joints with deck screws. There are some 45° cuts and a few fence boards need to be ripped to a thinner size but this is quite a simple build and can be completed with only a few tools.
The frame is built with just 2x4s and the trash cans are hidden using 5 1/2" deck boards. 4 gate hinges hold the doors on and a barrel latch and gate lock hold the doors shut hiding your ugly trash cans from view. I added a few screws to hold the entire structure to the barn. While this is not necessary it does make the structure more stabilize and prevent any shifting if you crash on of the cans into the hutch while changing them out.

Great one but I have loads of snow so will need a top as well
Can you open the lids?
Great video. Looking to build one similar. Did you bolt the base into the concrete? If not how do you ensure your enclosure is sturdy.
Our two trash dumpsters sit on a (tight) 48" x 60" concrete pad. Will your hutch fit on our concrete pad? It looks perfect for us and hoping we can make the hutch fit the pad dimensions.
How about some ideas for easy to make Christmas gifts?
How did you calculate the amount of wood to be used for the project
Beautiful work. How about a top or something to put plants on or grow some vines? I'm not a fan of a plain wooden box.
Cool project! I'm going to do something similar to house my lawnmower on the side of the house, but it will have a roof as well. Keep up the good work!
I like it and want to do the same. I would like to be able to open the trash cans while they are in there.
We have snow in the northeast so I would have o figure out a roof section.
I have the same miter saw stand. Love it, but the brackets are stupid expensive and hard to find if you want to swap tools.

Yes definitely mean 2x4s. Thanks for pointing that out will have to take a look at that!
The ends of pressure treated wood rotting out is because the builder probably didn’t field treat the wood. The pressure treatment doesn’t extend through the entire thickness of the wood, so cut ends need to be treated.
I like your work...but I'm a newby to wood working etc, and would have like to have seen how you navigate the planks nearest the hinges so they don't make contact with each other when you open the gate. It appears you have cut the planks in half as i can see the chrome hinge between the planks. Anyway, thanks again. I found your video very helpful as I've completed 2 days of a 3 day build, but for a solo can (3x4)...thus, I'm ready to tack on the planks.
How do you put trash in without having to pull them out every time? Looks like the can lids would hit.
Looks great no more trash to look at. BTY how do you like the stealth impact from ridged. Looking atGetting one

Great idea, I've been thinking of doing the same. We have blue trash cans and they're ugly too. Also, do you think it's a good idea to have your boy wear some gloves while handling pressure-treated lumber?

Dont think I've seen a good looking can! A splinter never killed anyone (I don't think) other option is gloves ran over by the lawn mower. If we had a lot to move we would have some gloves on, holding a few pieces is no big deal.

Is it possible to get those cans open to drop a trash bag in without having to pull it out of the fence?? Could have run that top board behind the cans.

Tack a thin piece of wood on the bottom of the outer most front posts thus alleviating the sag?? or use bigger hinges? or....cut a bit off the bottom of the planks? Good luck..just brainstorming after building this, but for just one can.
The link is broken can you pleas fix it?
👍👍
It came out nice but it would have been better for us if you would have told us what size was the wood when you was cutting it you w a s just cut it and installing it
Looks like the garage lids are hard to access. Maybe it's just me. Cool build though.

Dog is say who are u talking too!
Thought it was for garbage cans not toucans...
Wood rots out because water gathers where the wood meets the ground/pad. Surface tension keeps it there, giving it time to wick into the wood. You want to stop rot, put 1/4” or 1/2” metal / plastic feet under the contact between ground and wood.

My trash can or more likely called Garbage can is just keep on the other side of house so can't be seen from the street except on Trash pick up day or more likely called Garbage pickup day or late at night the night before. Any thing that is no longer of use that is sticky stinky or messy I consider Garbage. Waste Paper and non messy stuff no longer of value would be trash. So to me Garbage and trash have different meanings although similar. Paper shredder you end up with trash, while garbage disposal gets rid of garbage left in a sink.
I've gotta say Tyler, I really don't like the style of video where you show us the final result before the build. It takes all the wonder out of it. Has anyone else given you this kind of feedback? It's like watching one of those makeover shows but they ruin it by showing you the final reveal before the renovation.
