FREE DELIVERY.  HAND MADE IN BRISTOL. 

Available in two sizes (50cm or 65cm wide), this charming stackable beehive compost bin / outdoor storage unit is sure to brighten up any garden... and put a smile on your face each time you use it. 

The bottom section is lined to keep the compost from falling out, so simply top it all up with your garden and kitchen waste, wait for the compost to rot down and become ready to use, remove each tier and start another batch when you're ready. 

The beehive style compost bin comes in two sizes, each with five stackable sections. It is all made from pressure treated, smooth planed softwood (from a sustainable source) with a lightly sanded roof section - all to prevent any splinters and really enhance the look.  It is held together with stainless steel screws and galvanised brads, for a long life outdoors.  You can also stain it if you wish.

This garden compost bin comes fully assembled, so no 'flat-pack' nightmares.  The front has easy access to a drip-tray area, for you to add an old baking tray if you wish, to collect the nutrient-rich juices from the compost.

'Small' Dimensions: approx. 50 cm wide, 45cm deep, 70cm tall.

'Large' Dimensions: approx. 65cm wide, 60cm deep, 70cm tall.

FAQs

Are these made in the UK?

Yes! All products are proudly and lovingly made in the UK. This includes ALL of our ranges: bin & recycling storage, bike & scooter shelters, log & firewood storage, compost bins, garden planters, water butt planters, living wall planters, dipping tanks, wildflower products and more.

Can I paint it?

Once fully dry, the wood can be stained or painted with a suitable exterior wood product.

Your new Bluum Stores garden store, bin & recycling store, bike shelter, log store or timber compost bin is made with pressure treated redwood; this is designed for a long life outdoors as well as a beautiful appearance. This wood can appear a little damp when it first arrives (from the treatment process), so it is best to allow your bin & recycling store, bike store or log store to dry fully before painting or staining it.

Adding some colour to your new wheelie bin & recycling store, bike shelter or log store can help to match it in with the other colours in your garden design. If you choose to leave your wheelie bin & recycling store, bike shelter or log store its natural colour, it will still blend in to any outdoor setting. The timber tends to 'silver' over time, giving it a beautiful and natural look.

Do I need to treat or stain the wood before assembly?

No, the store is constructed from pressure-treated redwood timber, designed for a long life outside.  There is no immediate need to use any treatment/stain unless you wish to change the colour of the wood to suit your outside space.  We do recommend that it is given an extra regular coat of exterior timber preservative in the future, to help it stay in great shape for many years to come.

This applies to all Bluum Stores wheelie bin & recycling storage, bike and scooter shelters and log storage units, as well as our timber range of compost bins and garden planters.

How do I use the compost bin?

Take off the lid (top tier) of the beehive style compost bin to insert compost materials.

When enough is in there, the stackable design of the beehive style compost bin allows you to mix the compost well:

- Remove the top lid and the tier below, place next to the rest of the compost bin
Fork some of the contents out into the new stack

- Remove another tier, place on top of the new stack, and fork more contents into this

- Mix it up well

- Mix up the remaining contents of the original stack, being careful not to damage the liner in the bottom tier

- Put the mixed contents of the new stack back into the original stack, replacing a tier at a time

- Replace the lid

This will allow the compost to mix well and produce a greater quality of compost, from your beehive style compost bin.

What wood is this made from?

All of the Bluum Original timber products (including bin & recycling storage, bike & scooter shelters, log stores and the beehive style compost bins and garden planters) are made with pressure treated redwood cladding.

This durable material is not only lovely to look at, it is also treated to withstand the wild variety of weather conditions that we face in the UK. It's designed for a very long life outdoors, with little maintenance.

The timber we use is also much thicker and heavier than that used by many other companies in our sector. It's not cheap, but it is made to last. It is also sourced from FSC and PEFC accredited sources.

Your bin & recycling store, bike & scooter shelter, log store, beehive style compost bin or garden planter is already treated so needs no immediate attention. In the future, it is a good idea to add a regular coat of exterior wood preservative, to help it live for even longer.
