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.Â* 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).

I like the ones where you lift the roof and the bin lids open as well...


Paint the bins to look like little sheds, and line them up carefully ?.
