Top way to improve your yard with wooden trash can storage units

Outdoor trash can enclosures provide ample storage for garbage bins and yard supplies.

A wooden trash can storage enclosure is a great way to improve your yard by keeping garbage bins hidden, organized, and protected. Here are the top ways to enhance your outdoor space using wooden trash can storage:

1. Improve Curb Appeal 

• A stylish wooden Aspen enclosure blends seamlessly with your yard and complements your home’s exterior.
• Choose stained or painted wood that matches your fence, deck, or house siding.
• Bearicuda Aspen Secret Potter enclosures not only offer ample storage for trash cans, pool supplies or yard tools but they also have a large potter box on top for planting flowers for a beautiful look for your yard.
• Beautiful cedar and pine wood enclosures and garbage sheds create an aesthetically pleasing look for your backyard that can tie into the colors of your home, deck or furniture.

• Sag Harbor wooden shed series is ideal for storing garden tools, and pool supplies and is a large trash can and recyclables bin storage shed. 

2. Keep Pests Away 

• Properly enclosed storage prevents raccoons, squirrels, and other critters from accessing your trash.
• Add a secure latch or lock to keep it pest-proof.

3. Reduce Unpleasant Odors 

• An outdoor trash container can allow trash smells that attract bears, dogs and other animals. A ventilated wooden storage box helps contain trash smells while allowing airflow.
• Consider adding charcoal filters or odor-absorbing materials inside.

4. Protect Bins from Weather 

• Garbage bin sheds keep trash cans shaded from the sun to prevent bad odors in the heat.
• Shields them from rain and snow, reducing mess and deterioration.

5. Increase Organization & Space 

• A dedicated storage area frees up driveway or patio space.
• Can include shelves for recycling bins or yard waste containers.
• These wooden storage enclosures can also be used for storing pool supplies, yard tools, outdoor furniture pillows, etc. 

6. Enhance Privacy & Concealment 

• A wooden enclosure hides unsightly trash bins from view, making your yard look tidier.
• Perfect for HOA-compliant neighborhoods where visible trash bins may be restricted.

7. DIY Customization Options

• Personalize with decorative slats, lattice tops, or planters for a natural look.
• Add hinged lids, sliding doors, or wheels for easier access.
