PRODUCT INFORMATION

Choose from a variety of siding options, paint and stains in a variety of colors, and the perfect hardware color to complement your Trash Bin Hidee. This customization ensures that your trash bin enclosure not only serves its practical purpose but also enhances the overall aesthetic of your front yard. Let's make those bins blend in beautifully!. Pick the right size to keep your trash bins out of sight!

Size Options

A truly unique and standout feature of the Trash Bin Hidee is that it is custom built to fit precisely the exact dimensions of each and every individual trash bin you have. This thoughtful design guarantees a perfect snug fit for your bins, ensuring the overall smallest size possible while maximizing functionality. By doing so, it makes sure that your Hidee seamlessly fits perfectly within the necessary size parameters without compromising on style or convenience.

Other enclosures available for sale typically offer their products in sizes that are simply classified as small, medium, or large. However, limiting the options to just these three standard size categories often means there will be unnecessary wasted space inside the enclosure, which can be quite frustrating. This unnecessary space ultimately removes valuable usable area outside of the enclosure as well.

With Trash Bin Hidees, our unique sizing approach means that the size is perfectly tailored based on the specific number of bins you have and the size (gallons) of each bin. As a result, each type of Classic Hidee or Brina Hidee boasts an impressive thirty-four possible combinations! (Not just three combinations). Each Hidee is designed to fit as snugly as possible around the trash bins, ensuring they remain hidden from view while maximizing practicality.

SIDING OPTIONS

T1-11 plywood

  • T1-11 is a type of plywood siding that features an exterior grade with a rough finish.

  • It has a rustic appearance, is inexpensive and easy to maintain.

  • Because of its neutral color T1-11 is perfect for staining with the available choice of colors.

Redwood

Specifically we use Redwood Construction Heart grade.

  • Redwood is naturally resistant to a variety of insects, destructive fungi, and even fire, due to its high tannin content, which effectively prevents the production of resin or pitch.

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

  • It is primarily made up of heartwood, the stronger and more durable part of the redwood tree, which gives it that rich, reddish-brown color.

  • It can contain knots and other slight imperfections, which only serve to enhance its unique natural character.

  • Typically, it's used for decks, posts, retaining walls, fences, and various other outdoor structures.

  • Redwood Construction Heart strikes a great balance of strength, durability, and appealing natural aesthetics.

IPE

  • Ipe (also known as Brazilian Walnut or Brazilian Ironwood) is very dense and durable and can last as long as fifty years.

  • It can vary in color between yellow, darker blackish and reddish-brown hues.

  • Because of its natural beauty, Ipe should not be painted. Staining with CLEAR color is recommended.

UNFINISHED

We can leave the exterior of your Hidee unfinished, allowing you the creative freedom to paint or stain it to match your unique style and color preferences. It’s a wonderful opportunity for you to customize your trash bin enclosure and make it truly your own!

Painted

We proudly use Benjamin Moore brand paint exclusively for its exceptional quality and durability. Our team meticulously applies one coat of high-quality primer followed by two coats of paint on both the inside and the outside of each enclosure. To suit your personal style and preferences, you can choose from a palette of twenty-one colors shown below.

HARDWARE OPTIONS

HINGES

Hinges, latches, and exposed fasteners, including screws and bolts, are essential components in various applications and are available in durable stainless steel.

These fasteners not only provide the necessary strength and functionality but also come in two distinct colors: traditional stainless steel, known for its classic and neutral appearance, and black stainless steel, which offers a modern, sleek aesthetic.

Both options ensure longevity and resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor use across diverse locations.

GAS SPRINGS

Gas springs are available in two primary materials: stainless steel and plain steel.

Stainless steel is highly recommended for applications requiring maximum corrosion resistance, particularly in harsh environments like coastal areas. Its durability translates to a longer lifespan compared to plain steel, making it a reliable choice for demanding conditions.

In contrast, plain steel offers a more budget-friendly option, though it may not withstand corrosive elements as effectively as its stainless counterpart. This makes plain steel suitable for less exposed environments where cost is a significant consideration.

CONSTRUCTION

The upper frame is crafted from durable Douglas Fir, known for its strength and aesthetic appeal. Each connection in the frame is meticulously constructed using a combination of polyurethane glue and wood screws to ensure maximum strength, stability and longevity.

On the exterior, we incorporate stainless-steel fasteners, providing not only a reliable hold but also resistance to corrosion, ensuring that the frame remains both structurally sound and visually pleasing over time.

This assembly technique contributes to a robust structure capable of withstanding the rigors of daily use.

DETERMINING THE MAXIMUM SLOPE

The slope must not exceed nine inches.

  1. Decide where the Hidee is going to be located in your yard or on your property.

  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.
