I need ideas on how I can hide the huge trash and recycle bins that are emptied weekly by the city. They are sitting under my carport and can be seen from the front of the house. Uck!

    Can you make a 3 sided corral with sections of fencing panels. Something like this:

      Thank you Janet --I don't know why I didn't think to look on Pinterest!?! Good suggestion.

    Or use 6 used pallets turned on their side with planters added to 4 of them. Put them all the way around your bins securing 3 of the sides completely, add hinges on the sides of the front 2 & a latch between the 2 in front. Now you have a vertical garden & a way to hide your bins in one area.

    I see from looking at the picture that it looks like there is small poles that go through loops where each piece is joined. I am assuming those would go into the ground. but if your garbage cans are under your carport they probably wouldn't need to go into the ground. I located this item for you on Amazon where you can purchase it. The name is as follows: Suncast FS4423 Outdoor Screen Enclosure. It is about 79.00. I see there are other colors in this particular item OR there are other options. You could probably build one as well. It just depend on how handy you are and what it would cost. Good Luck!
