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.

Oooh that's a good idea! I'm doing that

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

Nice work fella, have you got plans available?

Great video, I just bought that very same nail gun. First time using a nail gun and find that when I nail the timber, the timber slightly moves due to the power of the nail gun

@thediyfix

Yeah you wil get used to it. When framing like this I like to kneel on one piece to stop movement. You should be able to get the timber to stay still and it is a massive time saver

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

Do you think the weight of the wood and the spaces between the boards will allow ample air flow? Don't want the lids getting pulled up by high winds. My bins were in plastic Keter store and the lid was ripped clean off.

Hi Sophie, materials were under £200 if I remeber correctly. Unfortunately Manchester is a bit far for me Im in North Yorkshire 😂

How much did all the wood cost

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

Жыл бұрын

Hi nick, you are correct, there is cladding added to bring it out to the same level. You just need to rip the bits down. As for the lids, they are exactly the same size

Nice and simple, although I suspect you can't get your bin out of the right hand one because of the frame you built on the inside of the door. Not without flipping the hinges to the left side.
