I was tired of chasing our trash can across ours and the neighbors yard with all the wind we’ve been having recently where we live. So I built a trash can cover/container to keep it in and it not only contains it, but also covers up it’s unsightliness.
This easy to build project was built entirely from 1x4s and 2x4s. I recommend using treated wood OR cedar, but if you use standard lumber, and finish well, it should still last a while.
