  • Anyone got any recommendations for bin stores? I've decided that my recycling bin is an unsightly blight on the front door, even if the blue top does pretty well match the newly repainted green-to-blue front door. And the green waste bin is going to have to go somewhere too. I was tempted by a VidaXL stainless jobby, but I'm slightly less tempted now that they've said that they don't sell spare parts, at all, and have no plans to do so for the foreseeable future.

    The lavender has now gone - it had got very woody - and has been replaced with new lavender bushes, but they're only about 6 inches tall. That means the recycling bin is pretty prominent, and it's not exactly a thing of beauty and a joy for ever. In fact, it's pretty fugly. And I think a nice ironstone pot with a fig tree it in would look pretty good in its place...

  • @chrisbmx116 is the expert.

    It's a bit hard to think what would look good as we can only see a pic of the door.

    Idk what your situation is, but we put stuff in our bins daily, so it would have to be something with an opening top so you're not wheeling it out, opening, wheeling back all the time.

    Maybe a wood structure with a living roof made of that low growing cascading rosemary that is on counterweights to make it easy to open and smart use of magnets to lift the lids up when you lift the roof.

  • I got one of these and they come in single or triple as well.

    It was pretty easy to put together and is nicely made so I would recommend it.

    It doesn't have a back though so if you'll see the rear of it you might need to add some extra wood or ply.
