Great job 👍🏻 - if you have problems with animals (flies, maggots or orther little creatures): close the lid of the containers, add a chain to the lid of your bin-store and use a hook to attach the lid to the chain. So you can open the bin with lifting the lid. (Hope I wrote it in an understandable way - as I am German 🫣
I'm pretty sure the props you added to hold the bin store roof flaps up must have prevented the lids of the bins from opening. I think you then covered that error by folding th bin lids right back and behind the bin as the tops appear to be permanently open at the end of the video. Could I be wrong?
Lovely looking bin store. One point for anyone wanting to make their own, you should always brace your doors back to the hinge side to stop them dropping.
Just trying to piece this together in my brain... Does this mean the bottom side of the diagonal should be at the hinge side and the top side of the diagonal furthest away from the hinge? Thanks for this comment.
@@BenLinfordUK yes it puts the weight of the gate onto the fixed side. SWI Fence has a great video demonstrating the this point. Search for “The only way to brace a gate”
@@BenLinfordUK Any brace should head down towards the the bottom hinge. Also your braces should never be at an angle of less than 45 degrees - below this they are functionally useless. Lastly try where possible to run the braces between rails only, not into the corner of the joint, so you don't add stress to the joint and if you use opposing birdsmouth joint to house the ends of the braces into the rails, any sag only serves to tighten the brace).
Thanks Mark for a great video! I am hoping to make one here back in the States! If you can ever put together an instructional video with a part list on line, I would be happy to purchase them from you
In the process of building my own at the moment. Just to make the doors and the lids, been great to use your video as a bit of inspiration. Look forward to more videos like this😁
Both right hand doors are wrong and May drop. Left hand doors are great. Also to save materials the back could have been left in clad but I suppose it can be moved to another location if required
Very nice job, I'm about to do the same. BTW I think the bracing on two of the doors are the wrong way round, the rt. hand dble. and the far right. 👍 😎
It's taken me a while to work out why but I think I've got it- so, you're bracing in the direction that fixes opposite the hinge, to better support the weight? Thanks for pointing it out (so nicely), it's something I might not have thought of. Cheers.
I really like this and would love to make it, but from what I can gather this would cost £350-£400 in materials and you can buy one for around £500. I'd really enjoy the experience of making it myself but the cost saving is pretty small, especially bearing in mind my finish is likely to be worse than a purchased unit.
great job! Can i suggest to attach some hooks to the underside of the lift up sections and to the bin lid connected with steel wire so when you lift up the wooden lid, the bin lid opens too?! Just a thought :D
I'd deem it very helpful if you could tell me what the height of the rear and front uprights were to get the same slope as you. I was very impressed by your finished article and have just had a load of timber delivered ready to emulate your design. I'm doing a three door jobbie with 60cm doors.
@@KAPWoodworkandbuilding thanks. I was well impressed with your video but I am of the firm belief that from point 3.07 in the video where you just have the back frame where two seconds later you have a carcass you must have had an extra pair of hands! Prove me wrong.
11:39 if you pop a rope on the lid and the support you lift up, it will automatically lift it up and you just hold if while dropping door back down. Or cut the support in half and put a hinge in to attach the 2 pieces. On the lid move the baton up to give the support place to be attach with a bolt at the lid and on the side of the bottom, then when you lift the lid the support will automatically open up and lock in place, when you close you hold the lid and push on the support. Or easiest is go buy outdoor struts and attach that to the lids of the top. Great job! I will be sharing a link to your video and point them to your channel.
I was looking for an idea on how to build my own rubbish bin with wheels so I can store scrap metal in it, and when it's full, I can wheel it to my truck so it'll be easier to load... Though this video didn't cover what I needed, i got an idea on how to build the frame. I'm a noob in woodworking by the way. I guess I'll be using free pallets for my trial effort. Wish me luck and thanks for the excellent video
I don't see any ventilation. Now that you have been using this bin store for a while, do you miss having some holes or slots to cut down on bad smellies?
Having split with my ex, I'm learning how to do things for myself. Thankyou for this brilliant video as I now have a guide on how to build my own stores.
How did you get the top roof doors to stay in place, not drop down? Also for the roof to be at an angle did you have to cut the timber at an angle or did you cut it straight? I have been given a load of pallets so I plan to make a bin store (I have no diy skills) but your video is the best I have found online so far.
Hi Donna. In this particular design the shiplap overlapping the top door frame holds the doors in place, I also cut the roof timbers at an angle using a sliding bevel to mark the angles. No I don’t have any instructions, this video is just a guide pleading use what you can and adapt for your own situation. Mark
@@KAPWoodworkandbuilding Thank you very much for this great video. It's given me inspiration for me to try this out for myself as a total novice. Do you have a video (or any advice) of how is best to calculate the cutting angle for the roof to have a slope? My roof will be sloping from 1100mm to 1000mm and is 6200mm deep. Is there a formula for this please? Many Thanks for your help. KindRegards Jonny
I saw you using the DeWalt battery powered saw, but most of the time back to your hand saw! Paul Sellers would be proud of you. Is the feather edge wood treated as well? It looks like it is. Great job using the power saw to rip thin boards. They stays are a great idea. Very nicely done.
I now have a lot of battery power tools but I still go back to hand tools a lot. It’s what I grew up with and I find it strangely peaceful and comfortable. Hope your well David.
@@KAPWoodworkandbuilding it looks like the bins in the store have their lids folded over and round the back, so when you open the wooden lid you can access the bin without opening the bin lid as well - is that right? How's the smell/flies/pests in that case?
@@bbtom10 you can quite happily keep the lids closed and open both lids or pull your bins out. There is no smell as you still have a lid. All bins in the height of summer will at times get smelly.
Having built one of these "Bespoke Bin Stores" I can see why people think that Mark has taken off the bin lids. In fact he's just folded them overdo that they hang behind the bins. Mark's problem is that his props to hold the bin store lid up stick out and stop the bin lids being opened. As an alternative I've screwed one end of a piece of batten to the underneath of the front of the lid and at the other end I've cut a V shaped notch to hold the batten against the front edge of the bin store and hence the hold the lid clear.
Nice job Mark and I like the way you laugh a lot😊. I’ve been thinking of doing something to hide our WBs as they’re in the front garden. Your video may well prompt me to get going. BTW have you permanently removed the lids from the wheelie bins? 12:06 & 12:20 . Would be a bit dodgy around here with all the wind we get at the roadside. Keep up the good fun work.
