I want a bin shed to make 3 wheelie bins look less of an eyesore.

A nice-ish looking sturdy one will cost about 300 quid to buy so i'm
thinking of building one.

If you've done similar, did you wing it or work to a plan you found?


My advice is just to screen wall. Don't roof it - it'll be a sod to put
rubbish in the bins and to haul them out if you do. If you do decide to
roof it then it'll need to be much higher than you think.

A lot depends on your exact layout, access, and sight-lines. Another
option might be something with a roof but open fronted, provided it is
convenient to wheel the bins out for putting stuff in.

One merit of roofing, if you make enough clearance, is that it provides
a dry space for delivery people to leave parcels (on top of the bins).
