290L Waste Recycling Aerated Compost Bin

These compost bins are rather flimsy, but when put together they are stronger and sturdy.
I was going to make a compost bin from wood. I have made many various compost boxes and bins over the years and I have two round compost bins as well. But this year I thought that i woulod try one of the compost bins with the little door at the front, it arrived by courior today.

Image 1 shows the box. Image 2 shows the top open and how thin the box is. Yes, you have to put the bin together because in comes as a kit-set.

This is a clip-together kit-set, and that makes the whole job of putting the bin together much easier.

In Image 3 we can see all the parts, the two sides are stacked together so you can only see one of the sides. Image 4 shows the instructions I got with the kit. And Image 5 shows the holes and the parts that stick out on the sides that clip into the holes.

First we need to clip the sides to the back. I laid the back down and clipped in the sides and gave them a solid thump with my hand at top and bottom to get it into place securely. This is seen in Image 6.
As you clip this together recheck all the places that are clipped together to make sure that they don’t come apart with all the moving and clipping of the other parts of the bin.

Next we can slide int he front and put the top of the compost bin in place and there you have it. A nice tidy clean looking compost bin.
