Dustbin Box System - conceal your garbage bin

Now you can conceal your garbage bin and keep your garden tidy with the Dustbin box system. The larch wood and anodized aluminum structure rolls on a guided track to enclose 120- or 240-litre dustbins. The natural-looking storage box does not suddenly eliminate garbage and the placement of it, but it does keep animals and smells at bay, while providing an attractive alternative to piling up trash next to the back door. There are no heavy or difficult lids to pry open. When you slide over the one side of the shell, it exposes a bin, allowing you to easily dump contents into the bin. Both sides of the shell can be moved to allow access to either side of the box. You can place a number of bins in the dustbin system, like a recycling bin, a garbage bin and a compost or outdoor grass cuttings bin. These bins are an innovative way to keep your garbage concealed while storing it in a place where animals wouldn’t get their paws on it. The dustbin box system is available from nebengebaeude.de.

Modern Bird Bath - Eva Solo ceramic bath

If you’re looking for a delicate and modern piece of art for your landscape, you’ll want to add an Eva Solo ceramic bird bath. The clean lines and ripples in the bath add a splash of modern decor to the outdoors. The bird bath not only provides a refreshing bath, but is also a decorative water supply. It’s a great piece of “floating” art, that the birds will appreciate and let’s you get some bird-watching in. The ceramic dish is placed on a tall metal spike that sticks wherever you want – in the garden, beside the deck, anywhere really – and is stabilized by rubber topping on the metal pole. The high-quality glazed ceramic is durable to the weather all year and is frost-resistant, and because of the height of the skinny pole it’s placed on, birds can enjoy their bath knowing that predators cannot reach them. Available at Eva, this bird bath will add much more than just that to your surroundings.
