As an instructional video, this falls far short of the mark! Dimensions? Lumber size? Roof pitch? C'mon man!!

Sorry but I cannot wait indefinitely for these garbage enclosure plans. I have found another website that has affordable
downloadable plans already drawn which are suitable and understandable for the homeowner with basic carpentry skills. The plans provided include descriptions(dimensions, specific quantities of material needed,etc.) Therefore, I no longer require the need for this website.

Hi Ron, My question is why didn't you use treated lumber on the walls? A little more assurance that it could withstand the elements?+- Really liked how it finished up and real simple.

Would have liked some dimensions and a list of materials to maximize use of standard size lumber and possibly substitute texture1-11 siding vs the much more expensive T & G pine.

Great ideas... I made something similar to this. However, I used old pre-treated decking along with vinyl house sliding. Really matched my house better. Plus, I put wheels on the bottom due to mine being on cement drive-way. Made it easier to move around if needed.

You set bags at the curb?
Around here critters are "bag Savvy" & a can with a good lid is order. This is great however to hide the cans building it tall enough to accommodate them.

Great Project.....How about using T-10 outdoor plywood panelling for the sides and lids? Faster, less $ and the lid is lighter. Obviously bracing as needed. Love your site!!

Curious as to how the lid / top was fasten on?

I like the idea and it appears that it's taller in the back than in the front but that wasn't mentioned in the video. I think that would be a feature most people would want for water runoff purposes.

Looks good - you should mention that the back side is higher than the front side so that the lid is sloped toward the front for rain run-off. Also, the hinges appear to be Stanley gate hinges available at most hardware stores. (Any brand of decorative gate hinge will do.)

You don't need plans, folks! (Although several people have mentioned in these comments where to find similar plans online...) You can draw up your own based on the size & height of the trash cans you plan to use allowing room for access & can removal. All you are building are (3) rectangles (bottom, back & front), (2) trapezoids (sides) and a tongue & grove lid.

This is a simple project that you CAN build and the principles apply to both larger and smaller projects.

I started this. Its important to note, that adding the bottom base using 2x4's will make it pretty heavy along with making it a few inches taller than you may want it. If I didnt start this already and think it through first, I wouldve went with no bottom or used something thinner and much lighter.

Still no plans for this? Disappointing. Not all of us are pros, so it would've been nice to have plans to follow.

I meant higher than the front not higher than the sides to give the top a pitch.

Plans don't seem to be available from Hazelton. His video fails to mention that the back is higher than the top and the tops of the sides are cut at an angle to allow the top/lid to have a pitch for water run-off. He doesn't mention if the front ship-lap boards overlap the sides or vice versa. The finished project appears to show that the front overlaps the sides. He doesn't mention if the side ship-lap boards overlap the back ship-lap boards or vice versa. The final painted project appears to have an extra board nailed to the back side edge, covering the back ship-lap board edge. It appears that the side and back where nailed flush to the vertical support in the corner with no overlap which would leave a notch from top to bottom in both rear corners. The extra piece nailed to the sides would cover the notch from the side view. He would have to nail another similar piece to the back to cover the gap from the rear (unseen) side. Perhaps he mitered two pieces for both rear corners for a stand-off, raised panel effect. However, he didn't do the same to the front corners. So, I think he was just covering the gap. The extra vertical boards could have been used to support the open lid if they were longer. It seems that they are just covering the gap.

Folks, it doesn't look like any plans are forthcoming, but I did find a similar project on another website that did provide plans and a materials list. Using Ron's video and the other printed plans might help us all out. lhttp://www.archchemicals.com/Fed/WOLW/Docs/BuildingPlans/Backyard/Storage___trash_can_bin.pdf

This just what i was looking for to hide two 45 gal. trash cans. Is there a set of plans that I could download. I really want to make some changes to the lid, I would like the top of the bin to lay flat so it can be used as a table, just to sit and have a cup of joe. The only thing i will be using this for would be for recycling. no real garbage would be in the bins. My Email : joe.saberito@us.daiwacm.com Thanks & Regards Joe Saberito

I made one of these very similar to this design but I had the following problems and would welcome some suggestions to improve my container. What type of hinge was used to attach the lid. My biggest problem is that the lid is too heavy, and since it did not open against a structure, the trash people let the lid go so many times that it broke the hinges I used. Are there any written plans for this container? The video is good but I would prefer to have something that I can print out and take into my workshop to use as a guide when I rebuild the one I already have. Thanks.
