Spruce wood and anthracite: material and color

The body is made of weather-resistant steel with a robust sheet thickness, hot-dip galvanized and powder-coated. A spruce wood inlay is fitted into the frame construction, giving the structure a natural character. In the photos, the wood is untreated and light, while the frame is anthracite-colored.

Anthracite RAL 7016 was chosen deliberately here: the dark frame recedes against the gray rendered facade, while the wood visually breaks up the row. In addition to Anthracite, Pure White RAL 9010, White Grey RAL 7035, Telegrey RAL 7045, Black RAL 9005, Grey Aluminium RAL 9007, and Cream White RAL 9001 are available.

The wooden inserts are not a fixed component. You can oil, paint, or replace them later if you prefer a different shade. You can see further constructions with real wood fronts in the category Garbage bin boxes made of wood.

Planting roof, lid, and everyday access

Instead of a hinged lid, a continuous planter spans all five modules here. In the pictures, it is covered with dark slate chippings and planted with houseleek rosettes, flowering lavender, and low-growing herbs: drought-tolerant species that thrive in a shallow planter in full sun.

Access is through the front doors. The doors and lids can be locked, and a central lock secures the structure. Opening and impact dampers prevent anything from slamming shut.

Would you prefer the same series with a hinged lid? That is simply a configuration option for the product. All variants suitable for planting are listed in the category Garbage bin box with planting roof .

Space requirements and base: 370 cm along the facade

Five modules for 240-liter bins require a continuous area. Plan with these dimensions before purchasing:

• Total width: 370 cm
• Depth: 80 cm
• Height with planting roof: 123.5 cm
• Height with hinged lid: 118 cm
• Clear space per bay: 61.5 cm wide, 80 cm deep, 109 cm high

You also need clearance in front of the doors so you can pull the bins straight out. The photos show this is provided: the paved strip in front of the box is significantly wider than the bin depth.

The base should be load-bearing and largely level, such as paving, concrete, or a compacted surface. Minor unevenness, such as that caused by natural stone paving with irregular slabs, can be compensated for using the height-adjustable feet. Their adjustment range is 15 to 60 mm.
