Willow Wheelie Bin Screen (Double)

Product Information

If a contemporary design is your kind of style, a red cedar bin store may be just the thing for you. Red cedar is an excellent choice for a bin store, as it’s durable in damp climates. You can trust that your cedar bin store won’t decay, shrink, warp, or swell, even in the most severe weather conditions. The one thing that get us all with a wheelie bin is hygiene. But once that issue resolved we turn to how unsightly they are. And whilst one obvious solution is to use a wheelie bin storage, it’s actually quite difficult to justify the cost so wheelie bin screens work in the same way.

The panels are hinged allowing you to easily access your bins if you need to relocate them or if you just want to put the rubbish out. Need a place to keep your logs dry this winter? While making (or buying!) a bin store, keep your logs in mind. This combination wheelie bin, recycling box and log storage unit will take up considerable space, so I don’t recommend this option for small gardens. However, it’s the go-to storage solution if you have space to spare! The screens are made from 4 separate woven willow panels which are connected by ‘easy to attach hooks’ so they can be easily removed if necessary. It’s easy to hide your bins behind a neat, well-manicured hedge. Laurel, privet, and yew hedging are the best choices for bin stores because they’re low maintenance, so they won’t take up much of your time throughout the year. Top tip: ensure you choose an evergreen hedge; otherwise, you’ll be able to see your bins for half the year! Willow screens have a number of advantages over your typical wooden bin store – they shield your bins from view while allowing wind to pass through, increasing their resistance to wind damage. They also add a more natural look, making them the ideal choice for a wildlife-friendly garden.

Obviously you always have to consider price with any product, but for wheelie bin screens it’s especially important. This is because for effective screening, chances are you’ll need to buy more than one screen. With units this isn’t really a problem (as long as you buy a screen big enough for the amount of bins you have!) but it will be for trellising or covers.

Slatted panels work wonders when attempting to hide your wheelie bins, as they conceal your unsightly bins without closing off the space, retaining your garden’s size. If you’re making a slatted panel screen yourself, keep the gaps uniform and around 18-20 mm. You can choose different woods to suit your space – ipe and teak are darker woods that work well outside, especially in more contemporary homes. On the other hand, trellising and covers won’t be as effective in screening your bins completely, but they will help them blend into the garden a lot and make it look like you’ve put the effort in to make them look good. Covers are generally cheaper though, and are definitely the best option for bin screening if you’re on a budget. This ‘rustic’ looking triple wheelie bin screen by Selections is the perfect way to disguise your wheelie bin and make it look attractive at the same time while helping to keep out unwanted visitors such as rodents, dogs and foxes. The basic problem is that wheelie bins are unattractive. Many people choose to buy one of our wooden wheelie bin stores to solve this problem. One small feature we did like was the fact that the wheelie bin store was ventilated, which provided good air circulation and avoids damp and or condensation forming.If you want to completely hide bins from sight, a slatted panel can still be used but opting for one you can’t see through, such as our Venetian Hit and Miss panel. With horizontal pales attached on alternating sides of the panel, you can only see through at a downward angle meaning what is behind the panel is hidden. What better way to use a front wall than to hide your bins? This clever design has gone a step further and disguised the bins within the hedging, keeping them neatly out of the way of people walking by and out of sight from the house. You could also make the most of your front steps by incorporating a bin store if there’s space. Are you willing to do any maintenance or upkeep? Neither screens nor covers require much maintenance, but you may find that some manufacturers recommend wooden screens to be stained or treated against rot. How Much Time Do I Have? As you can probably gather from the details of what we thought of the products above, there are a few key things to keep in mind when looking for and buying wheelie bin screens. Don’t worry though, we’ve got them covered below. Type of screen

Which bin covers or screens should you be looking at? Here are our top options! The Best Wheelie Bin Screens and Vinyl Covers In our third place spot is a really cheap, and best budget, option for wheelie bin screens that will make your bin area look that little bit better and less off putting. First thing to note is that this won’t cover your bins entirely and wont screen them off that effectively, but it will take less attention off them and blend them in a bit more. Cons: Requires some work to install, not suitable for all properties (can't be installed on concrete generally)

The fact that the trellis is extendable means that you can cover as many or as few bins as you like (the construction extends to up to 1.8 metres). There are no doors or side panels, so pulling bins in and out is easy and convenient. Though there are obviously large gaps in the trellis, growing plants up it would reduce bin visibility.

With flexibility in mind, this extra-large 1200L storage unit is capable of comfortably storing 2 x 240 L plastic wheelie bins with great access to the bins, utilising fully opening front doors and lid. Made from natural woven willow with a strong metal framework, this screen will give you years of service while hiding what’s behind it. Trellis is the ultimate screening panel option. Known for its decorative nature, trellis designs come in different styles, all offering varying levels of concealment. Lattice TrellisMore substantially constructed, than a wheelie bin screen, but the unit still has that ‘natural’ look in and around the garden. This is definitely one of the most flexible options on this list, and it's also a very affordable one. This trellis screen doesn't need to be anchored (though it can be). It can be moved easily, or if you prefer, you can simply leave it in place and use it as support for plants whilst it still covers your bins. Other styles that would make good bin hiding options are Diamond and Tartan Trellis. With larger apertures, the panels offer less concealment capabilities but paired with planting they can effectively hide what is behind. What do you need to install a bin screening panel?
