About this deal

Best For: Those on a budget, or those looking to just make a small change to make their bins a little more attractive. What Do I Need to Think About Before Buying? It's not impossible to erect a screen on concrete but it's can be difficult without a wall to hold it against, so that might be something to think about. The Selections triple wheelie bin screen can help keep your driveway looking smart, keeping three plastic bins covered up with attractive willow panels. Note: We don't ship plants on Fridays due to the extended period they would remain without light & water In second place is the best trellis screen that’s on the market currently, and whilst these sorts of screens can be used in many ways and could even just be taken from some standard garden trellising, this one is the best designed for wheelie bins. It’s a natural, I’ve leaf trellis which completely takes the attention away from the bins, and it’s perfect for screening off your bin area or even areas of the garden you don’t want on show.

Made from natural woven willow with a strong metal framework, the strands of willow are woven round the metal framework, giving it an extra level of support as well as making each panel easy to move individually. As well as this, it’s really expensive and it’s not the best value for money, considering the fact it’s only useful for screening one bin. That said, its modern and furniture-like design make it perfect for gardens that might have a patio or lots of furniture, as this will blend in nicely and prevent your bins from ruining the mood. It’s definitely good quality and will screen your bins effectively, but it’s just not got any major features or characteristics that make it a better screen than the products above. The one thing that get us all with a wheelie bin is hygiene. But once that issue resolved we turn to how unsightly they are. And whilst one obvious solution is to use a wheelie bin storage, it’s actually quite difficult to justify the cost so wheelie bin screens work in the same way. As we said above, there are really two solid options here. Which one you go with will really depend on your needs, but here are the broad categories: Bin Screens The trellis included is extendable, stretching to a maximum of three metres, so you'll have plenty of space. There are no side panels, so getting bins in and out is easy. You can easily secure the screen either to the ground (you'll need to buy anchor supports though), or to a wall or existing fence. And since this is all fake, there's zero maintenance required.The fact that the trellis is extendable means that you can cover as many or as few bins as you like (the construction extends to up to 1.8 metres). There are no doors or side panels, so pulling bins in and out is easy and convenient. Though there are obviously large gaps in the trellis, growing plants up it would reduce bin visibility. Weather Resistance: We all know that the weather in the UK isn't as great as it could be. That means that it's important that your screen or cover is weather resistant. Don't assume that something is just because it's in the garden section! Look for products that specifically state they are weather resistant. Now first thing is first, this is an incredibly reliable screen and a really effective way to screen your bins, but it is on the expensive side. On top of this, you’ll need to buy the stone or materials to fill it with to make it look good, so this screen is only good for you if you’re not worried about a budget or if you’re willing to splash the cash. You’re most likely going to come across either a wooden screen or plastic screen, both of which have their pros and cons. Wood is great and it looks far more natural than plastic, so it really brings an authentic feel to the garden. However, it might be more vulnerable to weather than plastic, so it may not last you as long.

When considering the aesthetic side of things, units aren’t the best, but they don’t look bad. For gardens with plenty of flowering plants, we suggest trellising screens. If you have lots of greenery or lots of plants, covers will help blend the bins in. How many bins? Smart Garden 60cm x 180cm Expanding Solar Pre Lit Ivy Leaf Trellis Bin Screen (Best trellising option) Obviously you always have to consider price with any product, but for wheelie bin screens it’s especially important. This is because for effective screening, chances are you’ll need to buy more than one screen. With units this isn’t really a problem (as long as you buy a screen big enough for the amount of bins you have!) but it will be for trellising or covers. As already said there are different types of screen (unit, trellised and cover) that you can get, but each one is suitable for your garden in different ways. Units are the most effective way of screening your bins and generally cost more for it too, but these units also help to make the bin area look better and make it part of the garden too. Best For: Those with a higher budget, those willing to do a little work to really hide their bins away Bin Covers / Vinyls

On the other hand, the plastic material should be UV and weather resistant, and ideally dirt resistant too. It might also fade over time compared to wood, so ideally keep it out of the sun. Both materials will be absolutely fine, but you just need to consider it before you buy. If you wish to go for wood then we suggest treating it with some outdoor protector, but if you wish to go for plastic, just keep in mind it needs to have those characteristics for it to last. Personally I think plastic will last longer as it’s more resistant to weather, but they don’t look as good, so it’s about personal choice really. Price On the other hand, trellising and covers won’t be as effective in screening your bins completely, but they will help them blend into the garden a lot and make it look like you’ve put the effort in to make them look good. Covers are generally cheaper though, and are definitely the best option for bin screening if you’re on a budget.

As with anything you buy, there are a few things that you'll need to think about before making your investment: What Is Your Budget? The screening is made from 3 separate panels that are connected by easy to attach hinges on the metal frame. When together, the screen measures 115cm high by 81cm wide and 64cm deep. The hinged side panels can be opened easily to access the bin when it is time for the refuse to be collected, and just as easy to close afterwards. It doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy and feels like its high quality, which is really important for wheelie bin screens since they’re going to be outside and, well frankly, next to your bins. It needs to be able to withstand quite a bit of dirt and mess, as well as not become ruined or dirty too easily when the bin gets a bit too full.

Wheelie Bin Screen Double

It’s a nice darkish colour and is made from natural woven material, but it has a steel frame which keeps it sturdy and supported. You can barely see the metal support too, so it just fits nicely in a garden by bringing a natural look to it. This will fit in most gardens in terms of how it looks, I would say unless you’ve got lots of stone features, then this is a screen which will fit in easily into your garden. It’s not too big either, and it even comes as separate panels that are hinged and connect at different angles, so you can modify it so that it fits your bins area nicely. Probably the most common option is to use a bin screen. A screen will usually be wooden (or perhaps raffia-style), will be anchored into the ground in some way (meaning they can't be installed on concrete, unfortunately), and will hide your bins from sight. This is the more expensive of the two options and requires a bit more work on your part, but a good screen can really disguise those bins. In our third place spot is a really cheap, and best budget, option for wheelie bin screens that will make your bin area look that little bit better and less off putting. First thing to note is that this won’t cover your bins entirely and wont screen them off that effectively, but it will take less attention off them and blend them in a bit more. In our final spot is another sturdy and reliable wheelie bin screen, but the reason it’s in last place is because it doesn’t really offer anything extra that isn’t already covered in the products above. It’s got similar attributes to a wheelie bin storage shed but it doesn’t do the name much justice, as its thin polyester material makes it more suited to act as a screen. The Selections single wheelie bin screen can help keep your driveway looking smart, keeping one plastic bin covered up with attractive willow panels.

Are you willing to do any maintenance or upkeep? Neither screens nor covers require much maintenance, but you may find that some manufacturers recommend wooden screens to be stained or treated against rot. How Much Time Do I Have? Ease of Set-Up/Application: You probably don't want to devote an entire weekend to hiding your bins, so do look out for screens and covers that are easy to set up or to apply. The fewer pieces, the better! This should certainly be your first question. How much are you willing to spend? Be reasonable, be realistic, and don't spend more than you can afford. Since covers are usually cheaper than screens, your budget may determine which solution is right for you. What Kind of Commitment Do You Want? Finally, a more unique solution than some of our other options. This is a flexible screen option that includes artificial leaves to make this look just like a piece of hedging or the foliage in your garden. If you want to not only hide your bins away but also to thoroughly disguise them, then this is the option you've been looking for. Our first choice is a very classic one, a woven willow screen that would be a wonderful addition to any garden. This traditional screen comes in various sizes, and can be used to cover one, two or three wheelie bins, so there should be a model for everyone.The panels are hinged allowing you to easily access your bins if you need to relocate them or if you just want to put the rubbish out.
