Willow Wheelie Bin Screen (Double)

Product Information

Louvre is a slatted fence panels that has wider, timber slats that are angled downwards to prevent anyone seeing through panel. A line of sight can only be seen from below at an upward angle meaning it is a very good panel for hiding unsightly bins and other garden objects.

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! It's not impossible to erect a screen on concrete but it's can be difficult without a wall to hold it against, so that might be something to think about. While concocting your wheelie bin storage ideas, consider your recycle boxes (if you have any!). These aren’t exciting to look at, either, so you may choose to incorporate recycling bin shelving in your bin storage design. If you decide to build your bin storage yourself, ensure you use treated timber – most bin stores are made from FSC timber because it’s responsibly sourced.

Acoustic Barriers

Both screens and covers are pretty basic, so you shouldn't be too overwhelmed with features. However, there are a few things you can look for when comparing different models: It can get really annoying when you do up the garden or the house and no matter how nice you get it looking, your wheelie bins just end up ruining it. Everyone knows this struggle and it takes away all the effort you put in, so it’s always good to find some suitable cover or item that hides away your bins and even better, blends in with the garden. 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. 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 Selections triple wheelie bin screen can help keep your driveway looking smart, keeping three plastic bins covered up with attractive willow panels. 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? 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.

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. 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 Finally, there's the question of size. If you're buying covers then do ensure that you're getting ones that are designed for your size of bin (yes, wheelie bins come in different sizes!). If you're buying a screen then again, ensure it will hide a bin or bins of your size. Plus, you might want to hide more than one bin (screening your recycling bin, for example), so take that into account too! What Features Should I Be Looking For? 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 good news is that you're unlikely to need to do much maintenance here at all. Both covers and screens may need a hose down once in a while to keep them clean and looking good. Some screens, particularly those that use wood, may need staining or treating annually. You'll need to read and abide by the manufacturer's instructions on this, though for the most part screens do tend to be maintenance-free.
