Selections GF6500 Triple Wheelie Bin Screen

Product Information

Specification: Dimensions: 250 x 100 x 120 cm (L x W x H), Mesh: 10 x 5 cm (L x W), Wire diameter: 4 mm 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. 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.

This should certainly be your first question. How much are you willing to spend? Be reasonable, be realistic, and don't spend more than you can afford. Since covers are usually cheaper than screens, your budget may determine which solution is right for you. What Kind of Commitment Do You Want? The ultimate in wheelie concealing, if you have space, a purpose-built cupboard with a bolting or latched door keeps everything out of sight, and you can use the roof for plants in containers. 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. 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. 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.And once your chosen camouflage is in place you can relax and enjoy your garden, knowing that it looks good from every angle. If heavy duty is your style, metal is a clear winner. It is the pinnacle of weather-resistant, durability, and strength – it beats all other materials in this area. So, if these are your priority, metal is a clear choice. However, some downsides of metal wheelie bin stores are they’re typically expensive, very weighty, and will only suit some garden designs. They may also rust if a rustproof coating hasn’t been applied, so look out for this when buying! Probably the most common option is to use a bin screen. A screen will usually be wooden (or perhaps raffia-style), will be anchored into the ground in some way (meaning they can't be installed on concrete, unfortunately), and will hide your bins from sight. This is the more expensive of the two options and requires a bit more work on your part, but a good screen can really disguise those bins. 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 Trellis

Weather Resistance: We all know that the weather in the UK isn't as great as it could be. That means that it's important that your screen or cover is weather resistant. Don't assume that something is just because it's in the garden section! Look for products that specifically state they are weather resistant. 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. 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? 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. What better way to obscure your wheelie bin storage than with a beautiful green roof? You have numerous options for this – you could try xeriscaping, as shown below, with various succulents and gravel, a wildflower roof that will attract bees, butterflies, and insects in droves, or even a lawn alternative like clover.

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. The screening is made from 3 separate panels that are connected by easy to attach hinges on the metal frame. When together, the screen measures 115cm high by 81cm wide and 64cm deep. The hinged side panels can be opened easily to access the bin when it is time for the refuse to be collected, and just as easy to close afterwards.

Gates are an unusual yet convenient way to store your wheelie bins. Rather than moving screens every week, you can simply unlatch your gate, and away you go! You can incorporate this design into your existing exterior fence or add it onto the side of your home, like below. The Selections double wheelie bin screen can help keep your driveway looking smart, keeping two plastic bins covered up with attractive willow panels. Finally, a more unique solution than some of our other options. This is a flexible screen option that includes artificial leaves to make this look just like a piece of hedging or the foliage in your garden. If you want to not only hide your bins away but also to thoroughly disguise them, then this is the option you've been looking for. The screening is made from 4 separate panels that are connected by easy to attach hinges on the metal frame (the front has 2 panels). When together, the screen measures 115cm high by 180cm wide and 81cm deep. The hinged side panels can be opened easily to access the bin when it is time for the refuse to be collected, and just as easy to close afterwards. 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!

If hiding your bins doesn’t concern you, why not create a wheelie bin zone instead? Cordon off an area using wooden panels but leave it open for easy access when you need to wheel your bins out each week. This bin storage idea offers flexibility, as you can choose a colour as subtle or outlandish as you wish. On top of this, since we produce our own bin stores, so we know the market well and see these kinds of products every day.

Personally I’m a massive fan of the wood effect in my garden as it really does make things look more natural, but for how light weight it is and its material, it’s really strong and I don’t worry about it falling over or standing. It’s really versatile and is a pleasure to put up, and I’ve had no issues with it so far. The only thing that concerned me was maybe how it will last in harsh weather or when it gets dirty, but since its natural material unlike most other screens, it should be fine. After a closer look I also realised I could just apply a wood preserver, and because it’s wooden, a couple of screws into the wall were dead easy to secure it even more. This might not have been necessary at all and I’m sure it will last absolutely fine, but it just gave me that piece of mind. 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.Opening/Hinges: For those shopping for screens you will find options that have openings or ‘gates' that allow you to take bins out. In the case of screens that have ‘gates' ensure that there are sturdy hinges since you're likely to be opening and closing them a lot! Made from natural woven willow with a strong metal framework, the strands of willow are woven round the metal framework, giving it an extra level of support as well as making each panel easy to move individually. The screening is made from 4 separate panels that are connected by easy to attach hinges on the metal frame (the front has 2 panels). When together, the screen measures 115cm high by 121cm wide and 81cm deep. The hinged side panels can be opened easily to access the bin when it is time for the refuse to be collected, and just as easy to close afterwards. The trellis included is extendable, stretching to a maximum of three metres, so you'll have plenty of space. There are no side panels, so getting bins in and out is easy. You can easily secure the screen either to the ground (you'll need to buy anchor supports though), or to a wall or existing fence. And since this is all fake, there's zero maintenance required.
