Buying an Anthracite Wheelie Bin Box: Choose the Size and Features
Depending on how much space you have available, RS Trade offers wheelie bin boxes in different sizes: the box for 2 bins measures 132 x 80 x 116 cm (42 kg), the box for 3 bins 196 x 80 x 116 cm (59 kg), and the 4-bin box 260 x 80 x 116 cm (75 kg). This way you can choose the right version depending on the number of wheelie bins and the available space. The lockable doors are also suitable for shared storage spaces in multi-family homes.
Practical features: When choosing a wheelie bin box, in addition to size and design, the functions in daily use also play an important role:
- Lid mechanism with connecting chains: the box lid and bin lid are connected and can be lifted together.
- Gas pressure springs: they support controlled opening and closing of the box lids.
- Individually lockable doors: each door has its own lock with matching keys, making unauthorised access to the wheelie bins more difficult. The box lids are not lockable.
- Ventilation and drainage grooves: integrated grooves support air circulation and water drainage within the construction.
These features combine a tidy enclosure with practical functions for everyday use.
Material and Look of the Anthracite Wheelie Bin Box
Our wheelie bin boxes are made of galvanised, powder-coated steel. The galvanising and coating help protect the surface from corrosion and weathering. The material is also low-maintenance and designed for outdoor use.
The anthracite grey (RAL 7016) provides a modern, clean-lined look and combines well with contemporary architecture, clean façades and various outdoor spaces. In addition to anthracite, our online shop also offers wheelie bin boxes in wood look. This offers a warmer, natural appearance and combines well with classically designed gardens and house surroundings.
The surfaces can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent if needed. Additional treatment, such as the re-oiling typical for some wood surfaces, is not required for the powder-coated steel surface.
Location and Ground: What to Consider Before Setup
For a stable stand, we recommend a level and load-bearing surface. Suitable options include, for example, concrete slabs or paved areas.
On soft or unpaved ground such as lawn, the structure may sink depending on ground conditions. Before setup, check whether the chosen location is sufficiently level and load-bearing.
Choosing the right location: wheelie bin boxes can be set up, for example, in the front garden, next to the driveway, or in the backyard. For multi-family homes, shared storage areas are also suitable. Thanks to the individually lockable doors, the respective wheelie bins can be made accessible separately.
Practical tip: position the wheelie bin box so that the doors can be opened comfortably and there is enough space to pull out the wheelie bins.
Delivery and Assembly: Free Shipping Within Germany
Our wheelie bin boxes are delivered with the necessary connecting elements, screws and locks as well as an illustrated assembly guide. Shipping is free of charge within Germany and, depending on size, delivered in several boxes as bulky goods.
The wheelie bin box is delivered disassembled. Standard tools can be used for assembly. A second person can make assembly easier, especially for the larger models.

Depending on the federal state, the exact requirements depend on the state building code, the development plan and sometimes also on local regulations.

What ground surface is suitable for a wheelie bin box?
A level, load-bearing and, ideally, frost-resistant surface is suitable, for example concrete slabs, paving, or compacted gravel. This allows the wheelie bin box to be set up stably and evenly. On soft or unpaved ground, the structure may sink or settle unevenly depending on the ground conditions. This is especially relevant for heavier models, as RS Trade boxes weigh roughly 42 to 75 kg depending on size. Whether additional fastening or a foundation makes sense depends on the ground and local conditions.

The wheelie bin box is not designed to be bolted to a wall or floor and has no mounting holes for this purpose.
