Learn how to construct an outside garbage enclosure that is attractive and animal-resistant.

Edge a rectangle in the dirt where the enclosure will stand and dig out about four inches of soil. If the front edge of the hole meets high grass or ground, you may want to taper the edge so that nothing impedes opening and closing the doors. Similarly, if the spot you have chosen is low and likely to pool moisture, you may need to build up the elevation, instead.
