Australian weather is anything but predictable. From scorching UV rays to torrential rain, our climate puts every outdoor feature and especially waste bins, through their paces.

Unprotected bins degrade quickly, attract pests, and let unpleasant odours linger in your backyard. Thankfully, there’s a simple, stylish solution: robust bin storage from Keter Australia.

Why Weather-resistant Bin Storage Is Essential

1. Defends Against UV and Rain:
Australia’s sunlight is intense, especially over summer. Prolonged UV exposure causes traditional plastic bins to crack and fade. In winter, heavy rains can seep into uncovered bins, leading to rust, cracks, and unpleasant seepage. Keter’s bin enclosures are crafted with UV-stabilised resin that resists sun damage and remains water resistant, helping maintain both functionality and looks.

2. Prevents Odours and Deters Pests:
No one enjoys a bin with a lingering stench. Keter’s weather-resistant bin stores use lockable lids and precisely sealed panels that keep odours contained, even during heatwaves. The tight design deters curious possums, rodents, and even the odd neighbourhood dog.

3. Keeps Gardens Tidy and Stylish:
Why let your bin be an eyesore? Keter’s bin surrounds come in modern colours and timber-style finishes, adding instant kerb appeal while keeping rubbish out of sight.

Choosing the Right Keter Bin Storage Solution

How Bin Storage Makes Bin Cleaning and Odour Management Easier

Maintaining a fresh-smelling bin area starts with effective, enclosed storage:

• Easy to clean: Smooth resin surfaces prevent grime buildup and hose off easily.
• Odour control: Tight seals prevent unwanted smells from escaping, allowing regular bin deodorising products to work more effectively.
• Raised floors: Many Keter units feature sloped roofs, so water drains away and bins stay dry and clean.

Tip: Line your bins and rinse any spills quickly. If your storage unit ever gets dirty, a mild detergent and a soft brush are all that’s needed, no harsh chemicals.

Is Keter Bin Storage Really Weather Resistant?

Absolutely. All Keter Australia bin enclosures are crafted from high-quality, UV-stabilised resin, a material renowned for withstanding Australia’s harshest conditions:

• Waterproof: No leaks or pooling, even in heavy rain.
• UV-resistant: Colours won’t fade, panels won’t warp or become brittle.
• No rust, no rot: Unlike timber, resin won’t succumb to termites or moisture damage.

This makes Keter storage units an investment that pays off in every season, keeping bins dry, secure, and looking new.

Will Keter Bin Storage Fit My Wheelie Bin?

Keter designs its products for Australian standards. Most bin stores, such as the Store-It-Out range, fit two 120L or up to three 240-litre / two 360L council bins comfortably.

There’s ample headroom for lids to open freely inside the enclosure, making rubbish day quick and fuss-free.

The Signature Horizontal Range can hold: 2 x 360L and 3 x 240L wheelie bins

Before buying, measure your bins our customer support can confirm fit if you’re unsure.
