The best wheelie bin storage will hide bins in an aesthetically-pleasing way, whilst still keeping them easily accessible.
Look for a fully-enclosed unit with lockable doors if you want a watertight option that will keep pests out. The best low-maintenance, waterproof units are made from UPVC. These are also lightweight, less expensive than wood, and easy to assemble – a good, hassle-free option.
However, you might want to choose a wooden option if you’re after a more natural, sympathetic design. Choose pressure-treated wood where possible, but be aware that all wood will eventually require treating annually.
If you want to store items other than bins, you’ll need to avoid slatted or open-back units. However, these features can be beneficial to bin storage because they allow for ventilation and don’t trap odours. Alternatively, if you’re working to a budget, a simple woven screen is the best way to cheaply conceal bins.
Based on our research, to store two regular 120 L bins, you’ll want a unit of around 130 x 74 x 110 cm. For storing two large 240 L bins, I recommend a unit of at least 145 x 80 x 125 cm.
Overall, I’ve chosen the Keter Store It Out Max Plastic Outdoor Garden Storage as my top recommendation because of its size and versatility. It’s a fully-enclosed, lockable unit made from UPVC. Thanks to its 1200 L capacity, it can house 2 x 240 L wheelie bins or other items such as bikes, gardening equipment and toys.
