FAQs
What are the overall dimensions of the wheelie bin storage unit?
The overall dimensions are 345 cm in width, 79 cm in depth, and 117 cm in height (W x D x H).
What size wheelie bins can this unit accommodate?
It is suitable for standard wheelie bins with a capacity of 120 Liters or 240 Liters.
Does the lid stay open on its own?
Yes, the lid is equipped with a gas-spring mechanism that assists in opening and holding it open.
Is the unit waterproof?
While constructed from powder-coated steel for durability and weather resistance, it is not designed to be fully waterproof. It provides protection from the elements and conceals bins, but standing water may accumulate if drainage is poor.
Can I add more storage sections later?

What material is the unit made of?
The unit is made of powder-coated steel, which provides strength, stability, durability, and resistance to corrosion and harsh weather.
How do I clean the storage unit?
Clean the unit with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder coating.
Troubleshooting
Unit is wobbly or unstable after assembly
Ensure all screws and bolts are tightened securely. Check that the unit is placed on a level surface.
Lid does not open smoothly or stay open
Verify that the gas spring is correctly installed and not obstructed. Check the bungee cord connection.
Front doors do not close properly or magnets are weak
Ensure the doors are aligned correctly. Check for any obstructions preventing a flush closure. Magnets may need adjustment if the frame is not perfectly square.
Odors persist despite ventilation
Ensure bins inside are properly sealed and that the ventilation panels are not blocked by the bins or external debris. Regular cleaning of the bins themselves is crucial.
