    @April - I would recommend closing the gaps in the lids. Wheeling the cans in backwards and leaving the lids on the cans open. When it's trash day, the handles to maneuver the full cans will be easily accessible and closing off the wood gaps will reduce the chance of water filling them up during the rain. Nice job!

    Love this! Just built an enclosure for my irrigation system which was a major eyesore and used this basic idea for it only on a smaller scale and didn't have a floor. Next year, plan on building this same project to enclose two large garbage containers. Will use white vinyl planking from fencing materials for sides and top. Don't need a floor because these garbage bins already sit on bricks. Thanks again. You did a great job explaining all of your steps. This was the best one I found.

    @blahdiblah2169 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi April. I'll make this a little bit more robustly, and then I have the perfect storage for my lawnmower. And I'll use the roofing technique from another one of your videos. Mix and matching ideas. Thank you for the great content.

  • @woodenone669
    @woodenone669 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great job as always. Love the energy you have in your videos, really makes it fun to watch. On the hinged roof, you may want to consider moving the outside slats to permanent attachment to the housing instead of on the hinged roof. Didn't look like they were hanging on by much and those boards to tend to crack/split if to much pressure is put on them.

  • @michaelpeters8294

    Great job April. One suggestion to make your life even easier. Permanently attach a properly sized bungee cord from the inside wooden lid and attach the other end to a drilled hole in your trash can. Now when the gas shock raises the wooden lid it also lifts the plastic garbage can lid. Life is good again!

    April, Great job!. One suggestion though. You may wanna install a string, coat hanger, copper cable to unlatch the door latches from inside, just in case you have kids running around and trapping themselves inside. I learned my lesson when my wife trapped herself inside a tool shed many years ago. :)

  • @SimonE-fz5pc
    @SimonE-fz5pc 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice build. I did something similar some years ago and added a piece of chain and hook to the top lid so when you open it the thrashcan also opens wide enough to put most stuff in and with the simple hook its easy to remove the chain on trash day.

  • @aserta
    @aserta 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    April Wilkerson If you add a magnet to the lid of the trashcan and then put a magnet on a string on the enclosure lid (adjusted as needed), when you open the big lid it will pull the smaller one with it. At the same time, when you need to take the cans out, you just pull the magnet attached to the wire loose and reattach it later.
    We did this to all of our bins, works really nice. For magnets we used neodymium disc magnets. There are button style ones that have a hole in the middle which worked perfectly because it was easy to screw in the magnet on the lid and tie a wire on the other piece.
    You can find them via Google Images search under "neodymium washer magnet". Third picture, but there's also ones with tapped holes.
