Recycle bin storage ideas needed...

[Brewsterg6]

My Region has come up with a new recycling program that has cursed us all with storing these huge bins. I now have the 3 rollers pictured here plus the leaf bin in the summer to store. All of my bins used to fit in the first deck storage bin, but obviously that is out now!

I'm looking for ideas to build a storage cover/shed that doesn't ruin the look of the house, but hides the bins from being an eyesore. Share your solutions or projects if you've got them...

Will they fit between your shed and garage ?

I'd rather keep them covered up near the house. In the winter the shed and garage area is packed in with snow. Not so much this winter... but usually!

For the amount of work it would take i would just put the biggest one in line first so it hides the smaller ones from the road. Will look like you only have one.

Jack has a beautiful solution. I will see if I can find a link. I think it is in the 12 gauge garage thread.

Look at the first page, the pictures are pretty obvious.

I subbed my out to a cabinetmaker of mine.
He made a nice Cedar shed, with the top that lift up - (front doors as well).
Small enough to only house the trash/recycle cans
He even made a disguised latch with the handle out of cedar.
Blends pretty well against the side of the house

I would have asked the girls on my Facebook account if I was looking for the lazy man's answer... This is the Garage Journal. There's no such thing as "too much work" for building something as small storage locker. Just looking for style ideas...

Have you got any pictures of that?

I thought you would like it. Jack talks about how he made it in that thread.
