Please note: all measurements are approximate and the Shire garden buildings are made from metric measurements. We would recommend that the base is at least 50mm bigger in each direction. 

Description

The perfect way to keep your garden neat and tidy by storing unsightly wheelie bins out of sight, the 3 x 3 Shire Wheelie Bin Store is a cost-effective and quality solution to hiding away your bins until collection day. Plus, when sited in your bin store, you can prevent your bin contents from being spilled all over your outdoor space in bad weather as it ensures that they will remain upright. They will also provide protection against some pest animals. Many have experienced waking up to find their rubbish strewn across their gardens by a scavenging fox, and the Shire Bin store is a great way to help avoid this mess. 

Features

With space to accommodate one UK standard sized wheelie bin, you can remove the eyesore that is your bin by concealing it in a neatly finished, quality wooden store. Featuring an opening lid for easy access to your bin, you can keep it hidden away until your designated collection day. The single door to the front opens wide to make taking your bin in and out of storage as straightforward as possible. The 12mm thick square board cladding is both robust and attractive, meaning your bin store not only has an eye-catching wood finish, but it will also stand up to the test of time. Our customers often like to add their own personal touch by painting their bin stores and they look fantastic in any colour. Shire recommends you use Protek paint, available from elbec in a wide variety of colours. By using Protek Royal Exterior, you can make your bin store look exactly how you want it while adding extra protection to the timber.

About the Timber

You will be impressed by Shire's use of natural products and their environmental credentials. A high quality timber log cabin starts with high quality timber, so it is important to know exactly what timber is being used for your log cabin. The most commonly used timber for garden buildings is pine (pinus) as this is widely available for a very cheap price, however all of Shire's garden buildings are constructed using high quality spruce (picea) and is sourced from Scandinavia under strict FSC guidance. Spruce is more durable than pine and provides a higher quality finish. This timber is slow grown unlike fast grown British and Eastern Europe's timber, being slow grown timber means a tighter grain, less sap and with far less knots. The timber used on Shire's log cabins is therefore a more durable timber that will last much longer than other timbers used on log cabins. Spruce is therefore the timber of choice for companies such as Shire who always look to produce the best garden building.

You must apply a top coat wood treatment to the exterior. Shire recommends Protek Royal Exterior wood finish, available from elbec in many different colours.

We would recommend against arranging for a third party to install the building before it's been delivered and checked that all parts are present, as we cannot be held liable for any third-party costs.

Shire's installation team will not bring a building through your home as they are not covered by insurance to enter a customer’s home.
