Whether you live in a busy suburban neighbourhood or a compact urban space, the struggle to keep rubbish bins out of sight, and protected from the elements, is all too familiar.

Overflowing wheelie bins, scattered recycling, and a tangled mess of lids aren’t just unsightly; they can impact your kerb appeal and create hassle every bin day.

Thankfully, there’s a solution. Our mission to banish the bin storage problem with an impressive range of weather-resistant, space-saving, and ultra-durable bin storage solutions.

Why Outdoor Bin Storage Matters

• Protects bins and waste from rain, sun, and wind damage
• Makes rubbish day faster and less stressful

For Australian climates, choosing weather-resistant outdoor storage is a must. With Keter’s line-up, you’re investing in peace of mind and a much tidier yard.

Storage Organisation Tips

Smart storage starts with a few simple strategies:

• Group bins by type (rubbish, recycling, garden waste) for seamless sorting
• Place frequently used bins towards the front of your storage shed
• Leave clear walkways around shed doors for easy access
• Use built-in shelf kits or wall organisers inside larger sheds to keep smaller tools tidy
• Lock doors to prevent accidental openings in high wind or by curious pets

FAQs

1. What are the best ways to organise bin storage in a small shed?

Start by choosing the right shed for your available space-Keter’s Store it Out and Horizontal Sheds are purposely designed for compact Australian homes. Position bins side by side facing the shed doors for quick access. Consider having close by storing bin liners or cleaning products above the bins, and always ensure doors open smoothly and wide enough to manoeuvre bins in and out with ease.

2. How do Keter storage solutions protect items from weather damage?

Keter Australia sheds and bin storage units are made from UV-stabilised, weather-resistant plastic resin. This material resists rust, doesn’t peel or fade, and withstands intense sun, wind, and rain - perfect for the harsh Australian climate. Features like sloped roofs, reinforced floors, and tight-sealing doors help protect bins and stored goods from moisture, pests, and the elements all year round.

3. Which Keter bin or shed is best for maximising outdoor storage space?

For bin storage, the Store it Out Max (1200L) and Hideaway 3/4 Bin models provide generous volume without swallowing your whole yard. If you need room for more than just bins, the Cortina Mega Shed’s 2020L capacity is hard to beat for all-round storage. The Horizontal Sheds are ideal for those wanting a tidy, low-profile solution, but with maximum impact that’s easy to access but keeps bins neatly tucked away.
