Aluminium is resistant to weathering and requires no maintenance or treatments, it has a long lifespan and is very light, which makes it easier to assemble. Building a shelter for your wheelie bins yourself from ALUSTECK® is easier than you think and can be done with a plastic hammer and a few materials. First of all, you should consider where the wheelie bin shelter should be placed and how large it should be. Otherwise, you can take the dimensions from the construction plan, which is designed as a shelter for 3 x 240L wheelie bins. Incidentally, our system also makes it very easy to build a wooden shelter yourself.

Building instructions for a DIY garbage can shelter (3x240L bins)
First, measure the size and number of your bins that are to be accommodated to ensure that the shelter is large enough. It is also important to choose a location that is easily accessible so that the bins can be easily moved in and out.
You can take the dimensions from the construction plan, which is designed as a shelter for 3 x 240L bins, or plan it completely yourself.
You need required materials such as ALUSTECK® profiles, screws, as well as a roof and cladding. There are many ways to clad the ALUSTECK® bin shed, and you can choose the material according to your preference, in a color of your choice, to adapt it to your surroundings.
You use the ALUSTECK® profiles to build the frame of the shed and simply put it together. The frame is automatically stable and straight. Then cover the frame with a roof and cladding to protect it from rain and snow.

Build it yourself step by step
Step 1: Assemble page elements
Article for this work step:
2 x Pos. 1 | 2 x Pos. 2 | 2 x Pos. 3 | 2 x Pos. 4 | 2 x Pos. 6 | 2 x Pos. 7 | 4 x Pos. 8
First, side panels are assembled in duplicate. The connectors at the lower end of the construction (2 x Pos. 06, 2 x Pos. 07) are each equipped with an M8 thread, to later be able to compensate for uneven floors with the help of screwed-in leveling feet.
Step 2: Connect page elements
Article for this work step:
3 x Pos. 5
Subsequently, the two fully assembled side panels are connected to each other by means of the square tubes (3 x Pos. 05).
Step 3: Screw on vertical strut to bin shed rear
Item for this work step:
1 x Pos. 4 | 2 x Pos. 9
To complete the basic construction, the two flange connectors (2 x Pos. 09) are now placed onto one end of the profile (1 x No.: 04) each. Now the strut can be aligned exactly in the middle of the rear element and the flange connector can be screwed to the profile using the self-tapping screws (4 x Pos. 12).

After completion of the basic construction, the cladding must now be built. For further implementation, request our free and detailed construction plan. Tip: Any cladding you wish can be used.
Done: Your individual self-built bin shed
Advantages of a Waste Bin Shelter with ALUSTECK®
With the right material, such as ALUSTECK®, and a little craftsmanship, you can create a functional, durable, and attractive shelter that will surely please you and your neighbors.
ALUSTECK® is a very versatile material and can be produced in various colors and variations, so that it perfectly fits into your home and surroundings.
Low-maintenance and Weather-resistant
It is also important to note that an ALUSTECK® bin shed is very low-maintenance, as it is resistant to moisture, rust, and other weather influences. It requires no annual maintenance or treatments and will serve you for many years.
Easy Assembly
Overall, building your own ALUSTECK® bin shed is a great way to not only protect your bins from the elements, but also to make your garden or driveway look neat and appealing. It is easy to install, low-maintenance and durable, and it gives you the opportunity to adapt it to your individual needs and wishes.
Tip: Also possible with solar system / PV panel as roof
This enclosure for waste containers or waste bins can be easily equipped with an additional solar panel on the roof. Thus, you have several benefits with this waste bin shelter. The unsightly bins disappear behind a beautiful facade, and you also have a small power plant with which you can use energy for lighting or other electrical installations.
The integration of a photovoltaic system and the utilization of solar energy on the roof of a shelter are steadily increasing in the private sector and are already highly trending. In addition to the roof of a residential house, smaller structural ancillary facilities, such as the roof of a waste bin shelter, also offer the possibility to install a solar system and achieve additional benefits.
Additionally, ALUSTECK© also offers a possibility for the construction of solar panel stand systems for your house roof, carport, or balcony. Click here for the building instructions for a solar module holder with ALUSTECK©!
However, the yield is also worthwhile if your shelter, complete with a solar module, finds its place on the house wall. The yield may be slightly lower, but especially in cases of limited space and missing options, this method is extremely interesting.
