Willow Wheelie Bin Screen (Double)

Product Information

Want to conceal your unsightly wheelie bins but aren’t sure how? I hear you. Wheelie bin storage offers a range of benefits, keeping our wheelie bins out of view, ensuring they’re secure, and protecting them from wind damage and pests. If your garden sports an oriental style, this bamboo bin screen enclosure may be right up your alley. Bamboo adds a natural edge to your garden and is extremely easy to install, even if you’re a DIY novice. What’s more, bamboo can last for 20 – 3o years outdoors, with next to no maintenance requirements, so long as the canes have been treated with insect and rot repellant.

Rattan is another material that stands the test of time outdoors due to its ability to resist extreme weather – looking natural in the process – and its strength and flexibility. You can create simple wheelie bin storage using fence panels, timber frames, hinges, and rope handles for an ultra-natural effect. What’s more, you can add wheels on the base for portability! On the other hand, the plastic material should be UV and weather resistant, and ideally dirt resistant too. It might also fade over time compared to wood, so ideally keep it out of the sun. Both materials will be absolutely fine, but you just need to consider it before you buy. If you wish to go for wood then we suggest treating it with some outdoor protector, but if you wish to go for plastic, just keep in mind it needs to have those characteristics for it to last. Personally I think plastic will last longer as it’s more resistant to weather, but they don’t look as good, so it’s about personal choice really. Price Now first thing is first, this is an incredibly reliable screen and a really effective way to screen your bins, but it is on the expensive side. On top of this, you’ll need to buy the stone or materials to fill it with to make it look good, so this screen is only good for you if you’re not worried about a budget or if you’re willing to splash the cash.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. 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.

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. Each comes with its own set of wall hooks. These are used if you wish to anchor the panels onto a wall or the side of your home. It’s a nice darkish colour and is made from natural woven material, but it has a steel frame which keeps it sturdy and supported. You can barely see the metal support too, so it just fits nicely in a garden by bringing a natural look to it. This will fit in most gardens in terms of how it looks, I would say unless you’ve got lots of stone features, then this is a screen which will fit in easily into your garden. It’s not too big either, and it even comes as separate panels that are hinged and connect at different angles, so you can modify it so that it fits your bins area nicely. With covers you’ll only need as many as the number of bins you have, assuming of course one screening cover will cover the entirety of each bin. So, just consider the price when you’re buying your screens, and hopefully it won’t run your wallet dry! Why not build your own wheelie bin screen? However, there has also been a surge of trellising screens that have been used as wheelie bin screens too. This is effectively just some natural looking or wooden trellising that’s designed to cover off your bin, and they look fantastic in the garden to say the least. They make things look more natural and bring a new aesthetic to your outdoor area or garden. wheelie bin screen When considering the aesthetic side of things, units aren’t the best, but they don’t look bad. For gardens with plenty of flowering plants, we suggest trellising screens. If you have lots of greenery or lots of plants, covers will help blend the bins in. How many bins?

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. Made from natural woven willow with a strong metal framework, it creates a rustic design to cover and disguise plastic bins. The willow is woven round the metal frame work, giving it an extra level of support as well as making each panel easy to move individually. You’re most likely going to come across either a wooden screen or plastic screen, both of which have their pros and cons. Wood is great and it looks far more natural than plastic, so it really brings an authentic feel to the garden. However, it might be more vulnerable to weather than plastic, so it may not last you as long.

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.In second place is the best trellis screen that’s on the market currently, and whilst these sorts of screens can be used in many ways and could even just be taken from some standard garden trellising, this one is the best designed for wheelie bins. It’s a natural, I’ve leaf trellis which completely takes the attention away from the bins, and it’s perfect for screening off your bin area or even areas of the garden you don’t want on show. 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!

Venetian is a great fence panel to combine with climbing plants, as the vines will intertwine around the pales creating a green screen, which will eventually conceal what is behind. Lattice trellis panels are made up of small squares which distort the line of sight to what is behind the panel. Great for screening, the square design makes it easier to break up the shape and disguise bulkier objects behind. The Selections triple wheelie bin screen can help keep your driveway looking smart, keeping three plastic bins covered up with attractive willow panels. 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. It doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy and feels like its high quality, which is really important for wheelie bin screens since they’re going to be outside and, well frankly, next to your bins. It needs to be able to withstand quite a bit of dirt and mess, as well as not become ruined or dirty too easily when the bin gets a bit too full.

Barriers

As already said there are different types of screen (unit, trellised and cover) that you can get, but each one is suitable for your garden in different ways. Units are the most effective way of screening your bins and generally cost more for it too, but these units also help to make the bin area look better and make it part of the garden too. 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?
