How to Build Plans

Plans are English only!

Tired of cheap plastic bins that crack and fade? Build your own strong, good-looking wooden octagon garbage storage box with these detailed step-by-step plans.

The finished box measures 42 inches long by 34 inches wide. It’s perfect for storing trash, recyclables, or even as a compost bin — and it looks much better than a standard bin at the curb.

I've used my 30 years of building experience to make these instructions easy to follow. Even a DIYer with basic woodworking skills can build this in 4 to 5 hours.

✔ Material list included
✔ Step-by-step instructions
✔ Reusable plans — build one, or several!
✔ Customize with any paint or stain you like
✔ Digital file (PDF format) available for instant download after purchase

Once you order, you’ll receive a link to download the file — check your email or message inbox. No waiting for shipping. You can print the plans or view them on your computer.

If you have any questions about the build, I’m happy to help — no strings attached.
