FAQs
What size wheelie bins does this storage unit fit?
This storage unit is designed to accommodate standard wheelie bins with capacities of 120 L or 240 L.
Does the unit come assembled?
No, the wheelie bin storage unit requires assembly. Instructions are provided.
Can I add more sections to this unit later?
Yes, the design is flexible and can be expanded by adding extra extensions, which are available for individual purchase.
How do I clean the storage unit?
Clean the unit with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to protect the powder-coated finish.
Is the lid lockable?
The unit features magnetic closures for the front doors, but it does not have a built-in lock for the main lid.
What material is the storage unit made of?
The storage unit is made of powder-coated steel, which provides strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion and weather.
How does the lid mechanism work?
The lid has a gas-spring mechanism and a bungee cord that connects to your bin's lid. When you lift your bin lid, the storage unit lid automatically opens.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not open automatically
Ensure the bungee cord is correctly attached to the bin lid and the storage unit lid. Check if the gas spring is obstructed or damaged. Verify the bin lid is lifting sufficiently to activate the mechanism.
Front doors do not close securely
Adjust the position of the magnetic closures. Ensure the unit is level and not leaning, which could affect door alignment. Check for any obstructions preventing the doors from closing fully.
Rust appears on the surface
Touch up any scratched or damaged areas of the powder coating with an appropriate metal paint to prevent rust spread. Clean affected areas and ensure they are dry before applying paint.
Unit feels unstable
Check that all assembly screws are tightened securely. Ensure the unit is placed on a level and firm surface. If necessary, consider anchoring the unit to a wall for added stability, especially in windy areas.
