Why this size for a Bin Store Shed
A bin store is sized around the bins plus the room to wheel them in and lift the lids. Around 1.8 × 1.2 m holds two standard wheelie bins side by side with clearance to open and remove them. Too shallow and the lids foul the roof; this depth lets the bins sit and tip cleanly.

Shed Storage Ideas and Organisation
Building this in the UAE
A garden shed this size is often a minor structure, but rules vary by emirate and developer — check before you build. For the climate, choose heat- and humidity-tolerant materials and plan for ventilation and shade.
Frequently asked questions
How big is a two-bin store?
Around 1.8 × 1.2 m holds two standard wheelie bins side by side with room to open the lids and wheel them out. For three bins or larger containers, widen it in the planner and the cost updates.
How do I stop a bin store smelling?
Ventilation is essential — airflow carries odour and heat away, which matters a lot in high temperatures. Keep the bins lidded and rinse them periodically. This estimate includes ventilation you can extend.
Can a bin store keep animals out?
A solid, lidded enclosure with a proper door keeps most pests and scavengers off the waste, which also helps with smell and mess. Design the access to close fully in the planner.
