Hide your Trash! Double Trash can Blind

Everybody produces some trash and if you're anything like me you absolutely hate the colorful trash cans that ruin your beautiful backyard view. My solution was to build a hutch using pressure treated wood from the home center that would hide our two ugly green trash cans behind closed doors!

This is a very simple build that will take you an afternoon to complete and will make such a huge difference in your backyard aesthetic for a long time. This trash can blind will hide two 96 gallon trash cans, if you have more than that I would not suggest making it larger as the doors will tend to drag on the ground if they are any wider.

Construction is with deck screws and you can add some bracket hardware if you want, I started with some leftover hardware but ended up not liking how wobbly the structure was so I reverted back to butt joints with deck screws. There are some 45° cuts and a few fence boards need to be ripped to a thinner size but this is quite a simple build and can be completed with only a few tools.

The frame is built with just 2x4s and the trash cans are hidden using 5 1/2" deck boards. 4 gate hinges hold the doors on and a barrel latch and gate lock hold the doors shut hiding your ugly trash cans from view. I added a few screws to hold the entire structure to the barn. While this is not necessary it does make the structure more stabilize and prevent any shifting if you crash on of the cans into the hutch while changing them out.
