“We could do it with maths, but who has time for that” is pretty much my DIY motto 😆

[@vince1103]

Nicely done. I largely went by that construction, but at the base at the front secured a thin aluminium strip going flat across to strengthen the frame underneath so that the bins can be wheeled out easily. Very helpful video Joe many thanks.

[@rjh8516]

Great idea

[@LynnMTHA]

I did all this from pallets. Then a raised bed for my garden as a roof. Which gives use to the area for my garden and adds to the esthetics.

[@vanessagutowski-smith2069]

I don't usually comment hut this was actually so useful and helpful. Thank you for explaining each step.

[@WatchShareSave]

Thank you Vanessa! I'm really glad you found the video helpful. I think everything is a lot easier when the steps are broken down clearly. :) Joe

[@amy8629]

You explain things so well, thank you

[@flagstafup5857]

Great job. I would also consider using a fly proof mesh on the inside.

[@MakingItOutOfTheWoods]

Lovely job. Hate seeing bins - fab, realistic DIY project as always, Joe - staying foxy! 🌲🦊🌲

[@WatchShareSave]

Thanks Claire! Prices are a but awkward at the moment but definitely a DIY saver when they come down haha 😊 Joe

[@deansaid7345]

Thanks mate really good and clever also well presented ,food for thought.

[@raquelsepulveda1089]

Beautiful…. I haven’t found anything pre-made this nice. Keep up the good work. When you said “who has time for that “ in reference to math i had to smile. I have found my people lol

[@ozone1959]

Maths. No body ain't got time for that 😂👍

[@BigBaldReviews]

Excellent video! Been thinking about this recently. Just a shame about timber prices at the moment. Hopefully they'll come down soon! 👍

[@WatchShareSave]

Thanks mate! The timber prices are ridiculous at the moment. Hopefully they’re on the way down soon 🤞 Joe

[@omallyster]

Would pallet wood be a useful option?

[@Bets2023]

@@omallyster l seen someone using decking wood - fab effect

[@epexlinux]

Great build. I was thinking of using pallet wood for the cladding. What do you think?

[@banzaiman1]

You could even add some gas struts to the lid so it stays open

[@jacobtribe1]

Hi mate, really want to do this! Please can you share a link to the wood you used?

[@inspectorhappy]

Fantastic video, thank you for posting this, I think I shall be mirroring your tutorial to build my own, we need storage for bins for when we renovate. How much timber did you have to purchase for this build?

[@WatchShareSave]

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked it. The amount of timber will vary depending on the size of your bins :) Joe

[@IamJellyBelly]

hi Joe, great video and an interesting project I'm looking at creating this for 4 bins but I think I can follow the instructions close enough and just add in the extra dimensions, however I wanted to ask about costs - I see in the comments that you expected this to be around £100-£150 but due to supply issues it was more like £400. Where are we now with timber prices please? What would I expect to pay? Thanks, Matt

[@fredericguyon1449]

Nice video. I am curious thought about the praticallity as it seems that the bin lid cannot be open totally and when having a big bin bag I would think it would be a struggle as on my exact same bin I need to fully open the lid. It seems that the angle is limiting the opening which seems the limiting factor. Any thought

[@peterrichards7631]

Is there an item list for what you used?

[@BVIGrockle]

i'm thinking about doing one for our bins... but we've got 5! Is this doable for a wider size bin store?

[@williamhalliday6933]

Looks really nice that 👍🏻 I’m thinking of doing one for a friend of mine . The ground where its going slopes about 70 mm over 2.5 metres and 50 mm front to back would this stop the doors shutting properly?

[@WatchShareSave]

Thanks William! The slope left to right is likely to put uneven pressure on the door which would make them quite awkward to close. You can use blocks under the frame to level it but that would make getting the bins in and out harder too. It's a tough one. If it were me, I would make the frame as normal and try it in place as is. See if the doors can cope with it, if they seem fine, great! If not, I'd level the frame off and add small ramp to the front so the bins can roll in and out easier :) Joe

[@mphys5370]

would love to see this with a living roof

[@paulattree4171]

FORGOT TO ADD , FOR THEW CLADDING ALL ROUND I USED 3 PALLETS , WHICH I FOUND NXT TO A SKIP, £0.00

[@teslaandhumanity7383]

I need to buy another drill like you have .

[@mart9118]

Great video mate! How much of the 50mm cladding timber did you use? 👍🏻

[@frankklein4872]

Twelvety

[@dolceitalia5846]

Just watched you on Channel 4's 'Britain's Best Woodworker', you were amazing!! Weird how I googled 'bin storage U.K.' and yours was the first video thar came up! New subscriber here - glad I found your channel :)

[@marijavrgoc2218]

Great video. What is the frame measurements on the doors and lids?

[@WatchShareSave]

These will differ depending on the size of your bins. It's best to measure yours and work from those to get the sizes you need :) Joe

[@ianbyron1255]

Cracking Video - which program did you use to draw out your plans? I've got 4 bins and wanted to make a couple of tweaks so wanted to draw it out beforehand

[@robertkarl3935]

I’m about to make a 4 bin store out of pallet wood wish me luck 😂

[@ianbyron1255]

@@robertkarl3935 mine turned out fine bud - good luck!

[@katezez]

Perfect! What wood and size did you use on this project?

[@frankklein4872]

Tree wood

[@MadMiff]

All you had to do was use a thin strip of aluminium across the bottom, won't rust and wheels go over easy. You could attach a hinged stick across the top of the doors to hold the lid open so its always on hand when you need it.

[@linggu2846]

Did you do the back？

[@stuartwalker7345]

Would it be better to use treated wood or wouldn’t it matter if I would be using feather boards as the cladding

[@WatchShareSave]

Treated wood is going to be much better suited to outdoor projects like this. I used none treated wood but later painted it with wood preserver :) Joe

[@-TKMAX-]

What was the price just for a rough idea please mate?

[@WatchShareSave]

I really didnt want to include how much this one cost me personally because it is ridiculously inflated. It cost me just shy of £400. This came down to supply issues and price hikes which are really bad at the moment. I can say with confidence that it shout have been around the £100 to make really. That was my plan going into the project. Give it time and I'm sure the price and stocks will get back close to normality :) Joe

[@davidkearin3622]

How much did it cost? Thanks

[@WatchShareSave]

More than double what it should have really. Realistically, something like this should cost around £150. Prices and availability are all over the place at the moment though 😅 Joe

[@maureen1able]

Where are the measurements

[@WatchShareSave]

They will be different for everyone as they're based on the size of your bins :) Joe
