Building a Bin Shelter with Living Roof
ฝัง

- Here I build a bin shelter to hide my ugly bins. It has a living roof with an internal gutter to stop it from overflowing. Eventually I will install a water butt for a close system of water from the bed, back into the bed when it needs it.

This is one the coolest and well planned idea out there
Killing 2 birds with one stone
Thanks, I've written an ebook with drawings and build plan :)
Hi! This is a lovely project - thank you for sharing, I learned a lot!!! Can I ask you how the drainage is going? Did it work well? I have made a bin shelter with a living roof but I complete forgot about the drainage! I didn't make it slanted.... I think I can still fix it but not sure how slanted it should be for the drainage to work.
Hi, it drains really well and I have a full water butt from it :) I've written an ebook with drawings and build plan you could use :)
That’s a great idea with the concealed gutter.
Thanks! It was very much see if it works, and it does! I've added a water butt now too 💚
Came here from Facebook - this is such a good idea, been wanting to do something like this
Thanks! Let me know if I missed anything 💚
Well done chap. I enjoyed watching you do this, because like me you're an enthusiastic amateur. We make mistakes but we crack on. Nice work - why the cardboard as this will rot down?
I also wondered why the cardboard was added as there isn’t any lawn or weeds to suppress. Maybe it was just to fill space to make the cost of filling it with dirt cheaper.
Do you find it to gather more spiders than open bins?
I was wondering if you had a list of lumber used. I am not able to drive so ordering the wood to be delivered but not sure what to ask for. My 4 bins are the same size as yours visually.
Only just seen this sorry! You still needing this?
@@greenfingeredcityboy if you do it would be amazing. Only because I'm going to have to do online and deliver as I'm unable to hire a van.
Finally created it! Sorry it took so long, I wanted to make sure it was really good! I've brought out a guide if you want some help. It has measurements and steps to build. greenfingeredcityboy.com/products/how-to-build-your-own-bin-shelter-with-living-a-roof
Some of the footage had bad wind, so I used a bit of it as I wanted to save your ears. So I've just left a bit so you can get an idea. Hope you enjoy! 💚 Please subscribe if you can 💚
Having bad wind sucks
🤣🤣🤣
Looks great! Just wondering how you angle the actual wood base of the planter on a gradient towards the drainage at the back? Can't quite tell from the video or is it just flat?
So I built it on a flat surface, then where it was going angled, I then use bulky wood and fanned it.
I was going to cut angles like I showed in the video and do it that way, but I was lazy 😅🤣
I didn’t know so many people would watch and see, otherwise I’d not have been lazy 🤣🤣

Thank you for your videos. Now to get DH to get all the hints I have been sharing, I mean all the videos I have been sharing 😅
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for posting this!! 😅I'm try to do it
No problem! Thanks for watching! Let me know if I missed anything 😊💚

Hey, you did an amazing job mate, just one question if its necessary the drainage?
In the winter it is, in the warmer months there’s no way it can get water logged. Thats why I haven’t got round to the water butt yet, because it won’t serve a purpose until Autumn/Winter
Good video fella, would be good seeing how you made the initial frame for the bin unit.
I’ll see if I can find a photo. I’ve thought about making some plans. Like an ebook, but just haven’t got round to it 🤞🏽
@@greenfingeredcityboy Would be good fella.
Step by step guide would be appreciated.

Looks great. Can you share the size if the frame please and wood dimensions
The frame is 3x3 posts. 2.4metre long, chopped in half for the height 😊

What was the total cost ? I know timber is just a bit crazy at the mo
Hard to say mate as a lot of it was reclaimed wood. Which meant if I made it and bought the wood I wouldn’t go as chunky wood on the outside. Might be an idea to wait for it to drop 🤔
Does the water barrel just collect water or is it hooked up to pump back into the flowers?
Just collects the water so I can reuse 😊
