Kliko conversion

How many containers do you have next to your house? That number determines which Kliko enclosure you need. We have them for 2, 3, or 4 containers, and the two-container version is also available with wood-effect panels. They are made of steel and fit any standard Kliko from 120 or 140 up to 240 litres.

Two, three or four compartments

How many containers you have depends on your municipality. Often there are two, for residual waste and organic waste. If the municipality also collects paper or plastic from your home, there will be three or four. Count them before you choose and don't expect fewer: a container left standing next to the enclosure defeats the whole purpose.

Each compartment adds approximately 69 centimetres to the width. The enclosure for 2 containers is 137 cm wide, the one for 3 measures 206 cm, and the container enclosure for 4 is 275 cm. These three are 80 cm deep and 116 cm high. Measure the space along the fence or facade with a tape measure and leave space at the front, because that is where the doors open and you roll the container out on collection day.

If you are torn between two sizes because you might add a container, take the larger one. An empty compartment is handy for bags of garden waste or a crate of empty bottles until collection day.

Lids that stay open

With a full bin bag in each hand, you don't want to have to hold a lid open too. With this container enclosure, you tap the lid up and the lifting system keeps it open. Closing it is effortless: the soft-close lids lower gently back down, without slamming and without trapping fingers. This way you can throw the bag in without opening the doors.

The doors at the front close with a magnet. They click shut and stay shut, even when it is windy. You will notice this on a stormy collection day, when the neighbours' containers roll across the pavement.

Metal or wood effect

The enclosure for two containers is available in two versions. The first is entirely anthracite. The second has wood-effect panels in an anthracite frame, for those who prefer something warmer next to the fence. Those panels are not wood, the construction is made of steel, so no sanding, staining or painting is ever needed. Each compartment has 66 by 76 by 112 centimetres of interior space, plenty of room for a 120, 140 or 240-litre Kliko.

Steel that can stay outside

A container enclosure stands outside all year round in rain, frost and sun. That is why the steel is first galvanized and then powder-coated, which prevents rust and scratches. The enclosure is sealed all around, so cats and birds cannot get to the bags.

Anthracite 7016 is a calm dark grey shade that looks good next to a fence, a facade or gravel. You will no longer see the green and grey bins, only a sleek cabinet.

Assembly takes three steps and the screws and mounting materials are included. The parts are marked, so you do not need to be a handy handyman. For the 4-compartment version, do count on two pairs of hands, simply because the panels are long.

If you are looking for more for outdoors, take a look at garden and outdoors. Sorting naturally starts in the kitchen, and for that there are bins at household and cleaning.

If you are torn between building it yourself and a ready-made cabinet, our article about making a Kliko enclosure yourself lists the dimensions, maintenance and pitfalls.

Frequently asked questions about Kliko enclosures

Do 240-litre containers fit in the enclosure?

Yes. Each compartment fits standard Klikos from 120 or 140 litres up to 240 litres. The colour of the bin does not matter.

How much space do I need for a Kliko enclosure?

For 2 containers 137 cm in width, for 3 containers 206 cm and for 4 containers 275 cm. The depth for these three is 80 cm and the height 116 cm. The wood-effect version has 66 by 76 by 112 cm of interior space per compartment. Leave space for the enclosure to open the doors and roll the container out.

Can I throw away waste without opening the doors?

Yes, that is what the lids on top are for. You lift the lid up, it stays open thanks to the lifting system, and after throwing away the waste it lowers gently back down. You only need the doors to roll the container out on collection day.

Does a steel container enclosure not rust?

The steel has a galvanized layer with a powder coating over it. That combination is designed to prevent rust and scratches, even if the enclosure stands outside for years. It is best to quickly touch up any damage to the coating.

Is a Kliko enclosure difficult to assemble?

No. You lay out the marked parts, screw the panels in place according to the manual and set the enclosure in position. All assembly materials are in the box.
