STEP 2 - WHAT SIZE DO I NEED?

  • The Trash Bin Hidee is built to match the exact size of your trash bins, giving you a snug, efficient fit and the smallest footprint possible without losing convenience.

  • Most other enclosures only come in small, medium, or large, which often leaves wasted space inside and takes up more room outside than necessary.

  • With Trash Bin Hidee, the sizing is based on the actual gallon capacity of each bin. That’s why every Classic Hidee or Brina Hidee can be purchased in ten different three‑bin combinations, not just small, medium, or large.

Specifically we use Redwood Construction Heart grade.

Redwood is naturally resistant to a variety of insects, destructive fungi, and dry rot.

This material can last up to twenty years, making it a long-lasting choice for outdoor applications.

  • Its durability translates to a longer lifespan compared to plain steel, making it a reliable choice for demanding conditions.

Plain Steel.

  • In contrast, plain steel offers a more budget-friendly option, though it may not withstand corrosive elements as effectively as its stainless counterpart.
