MAXIMUM SLOPE

Ideally, your Hidee should be placed on a level surface whenever possible. If there is a slope, the change in elevation must not exceed nine inches.

Follow the instructions below to determine the slope.

  1. Decide where the Hidee is going to be located.

  2. Using the OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS of the Hidee enclosure, place a chalk mark or a piece of tape on the ground that corresponds to the four corners of the structure. It's important to note that the corner that is positioned at the top of the slope should always be labeled as point “A” for easy reference.

  3. Now, place the ends of a level on points “A” and “B”. Slowly raise the level over point “B” until it shows to be perfectly level. Using a ruler, carefully measure the distance between the ground at point “B” and the bottom of the level. Write this number down.

  4. Next, with one end of the level still resting on point “A”, move the other end of the level to point “C”.

  5. Again, slowly raise the level over point “C” until it displays as level. Using your ruler once more, measure the distance between the ground at point “C” and the bottom of the level. Write this number down as well.

  6. Finally, take the same measurement between point “A” and point “D”, and don't forget to write this number down too.

  7. Remember, none of the three measurements: B, C, or D may exceed the limit of nine inches.

Instead of trying to check the slope yourself and possibly getting it wrong, you can easily purchase a professional Site Survey. Trash Bin Hidee will send a skilled technician directly to your location to measure and perform all the necessary calculations. This way, you can be confident that your trash bin enclosure will fit perfectly and function flawlessly. Go here to order a Site Survey.
