I m seriously considering building a nice little shed within easy reach of the back door where the bins can be safely out of sight and scent.
Log store roof construction.
There are many material options available for the roof of your log store.
You can make the roof panel of the log store out of 18 mm waterproof multiplex.
It can be made of pallets by covering the slats with slats cannibalised from another pallets or the slats can be removed from other pallets and then screwed or nailed to a the pallet walls.
Place the roof panel on the frame align the back edge with the back of the frame and adjust the position of the roof so that it overlaps each side by the same amount.
Start with the front frame of the log store and lay out the two side posts one of the floor structure pieces and one of the long roof structure pieces.
By adding the triangles we are removing weakness from the structure.
These are cut at 45 angles and once drilled and screwed into place the log store is suddenly very solid indeed.
It s crucial that air is allowed circulate through the wood so leave gaps between the slatted sides and back of your store.
These corner braces are an ancient trick.
Remember that the roof has to overlap the two sides and the front by about 30 cm.
As well as improving the aesthetic of the garden green roof buildings are a great way to support wildlife.
A green roof storage shed is an attractive place to store wheelie bins.
Drill two holes through the top and bottom of each main post.
