Start with what you want to build
The right foundation for your bin store
A domestic wheelie-bin screen mainly needs a level, maintainable surface. A commercial bin enclosure has heavier containers, frequent collection movements, washdown and possible vehicle interfaces.
Full operating footprint
Doors, bin lids, pulling routes and collection access extend beyond stored bin dimensions.

Commercial refuse areas benefit from durable surfaces that tolerate cleaning and wheel traffic.
Explore the details →Controlled drainage
Falls avoid pooling while discharge follows the approved waste and drainage arrangement.

Posts and drop bolts need defined concrete support rather than fixings into loose paving.

Choose the foundation, not the complication
Foundation options for your bin store
These are the methods worth assessing for this application. The structure, support plan and actual ground determine the right choice—not a one-size-fits-all specification.
Paving slabs
Paving-slab base
A level paved base works well for many domestic wheelie-bin stores and keeps bins easy to roll.
Worth considering for: Home bin screens and small communal stores
From £620 for 9' × 5' (45 ft² / 4.18 m²)

Worth considering for: Apartment, workplace and hospitality refuse compounds
From £795 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²)

Planned around its use
What matters for your bin store
We size the base from the real bin layout and turning space, then form paving or concrete with the enclosure fixing and drainage plan in mind.

Doors, bin lids, pulling routes and collection access extend beyond stored bin dimensions.
Washable finish
Commercial refuse areas benefit from durable surfaces that tolerate cleaning and wheel traffic.
Controlled drainage
Falls avoid pooling while discharge follows the approved waste and drainage arrangement.
Gate anchorage
Posts and drop bolts need defined concrete support rather than fixings into loose paving.
Before installation
Dimensions, approvals and responsibilities
Count the actual bin sizes and allow space to extract the furthest container without unloading the whole store.
Commercial washdown drainage and waste-water discharge should be agreed with the project designer; it may not be appropriate to send it to a surface-water drain.
JustBases quotes the agreed foundation and groundwork. Product installation, specialist connections, commissioning and third-party design remain outside our scope unless the written quotation expressly includes them.

Straight answers before you decide
Bin Store & Refuse Area Bases FAQs
Loose gravel makes wheeled bins harder to move and may not hold enclosure fixings. Paving or concrete usually provides a more usable surface.
