Selections GF6500 Triple Wheelie Bin Screen

Product Information

Cons: Requires some work to install, not suitable for all properties (can't be installed on concrete generally) Unlike some wheelie bin storage units, it’s entirely closed on all sides. It has a stable floor and weather-resistant UPVC sides that make it water tight, but it’s still easy to open when required. When putting away rubbish, the piston-assisted lid is easy to open, and you can connect a chain from the lids to the bins so that their lids open at the same time. It’s a much better solution than feeling like you need an extra hand every time you put out the rubbish.

The trellis included is extendable, stretching to a maximum of three metres, so you'll have plenty of space. There are no side panels, so getting bins in and out is easy. You can easily secure the screen either to the ground (you'll need to buy anchor supports though), or to a wall or existing fence. And since this is all fake, there's zero maintenance required. As we said above, there are really two solid options here. Which one you go with will really depend on your needs, but here are the broad categories: Bin Screens On top of this, since we produce our own bin stores, so we know the market well and see these kinds of products every day. As mentioned, a wheelie bin storage unit will hide away any unsightly dustbins, concealing them inside an attractive shed, or behind a screen, that will look great in your garden.

For homes with multiple wheelie bins that require storing or screening, then this simple three-bin, natural wooden slatted wheelie bin store from ‘Monstershop’ is a possibility worth considering. In addition to the weatherproof capabilities of resin, being constructed of this material also means that there is zero maintenance required to the unit and no possibility of ‘fading’. When it comes to throwing rubbish away, you only need to open the lid to the storage unit, and the wheelie bin lids will open simultaneously because they are connected together with a chain. Therefore, there’s actually no need to touch the wheelie bin itself, and you can prop the lid open as well, leaving you with two hands free to deal with the rubbish.

The screening is made from 4 separate panels that are connected by easy to attach hinges on the metal frame (the front has 2 panels). When together, the screen measures 115cm high by 180cm wide and 81cm deep. The hinged side panels can be opened easily to access the bin when it is time for the refuse to be collected, and just as easy to close afterwards. More substantially constructed, than a wheelie bin screen, but the unit still has that ‘natural’ look in and around the garden. The sloped threshold at the entrance features in this model as well though, making it easy to wheel bins out when bin day comes along.

Struggling to make a choice?

In terms of size, it measures 128 cm high and 126 cm across, with a depth of 82 cm. This is a decent size to fit two standard wheelie bins up to 110 cm tall. Consider the size of your wheelie bins and what else you may wish to store in the unit. Most models state what capacity of bin they are able to house, plus how many. A contemporary fence panel often used as screening; Venetian is made using horizontal pales with 15mm spaces between them. The view through the panel is not completely distorted but the panel will distract from what is behind. The Selections triple wheelie bin screen can help keep your driveway looking smart, keeping three plastic bins covered up with attractive willow panels. Opening/Hinges: For those shopping for screens you will find options that have openings or ‘gates' that allow you to take bins out. In the case of screens that have ‘gates' ensure that there are sturdy hinges since you're likely to be opening and closing them a lot!

Freestanding and constructed, like all of Keter’s products of a hard UPVc plastic material (resin), makes this storage unit completely weatherproof. This means your items inside are kept nice and dry no matter how extreme the weather condition get. As with anything you buy, there are a few things that you'll need to think about before making your investment: What Is Your Budget? There’s quite a lot of assembly required, and once it’s put together the storage chest (/small shed) measures 120 cm high by 285 cm wide. It’s 80.5 cm deep as well, so it’s actually no deeper or taller than other units, just substantially longer.

This light build might make it sound like the screen will fall over easily, but it remains pretty stable in most weather. Only high winds might cause it to blow over. This is probably this model’s biggest shortcoming, as otherwise it’s an inexpensive option capable of hiding bins well. Using bungee cords may be one solution for securing the screen to a fence when the weather is more turbulent.
