Our double bay compost bins are a good choice if you have a medium to large-sized garden and need a bit more space to cope with compostable materials.
As usual our Double Compost Bin is made from 100% treated wood and will blend into your garden with its natural, rustic appearance.
Size wise it doubles the composting area of our standard single bins as it is two full size individual bins.
Our double compost bin is typically used in a garden where the lawn is cut with a petrol-driven push mower or a ride-on mower and where it takes you more than an hour to cut the grass. You can add further bays (with the add on bay option) later if you find this compost bin is too small.
This size is also popular for use on allotments (where most of the composting material is from plants other than grass) and for those who have space for a composting system.
The Double Compost Bin come in a choice of 3 heights and 3 fixed bay sizes.
We offer a two part, lift off wooden lid for the double bay compost bin. Our lids are manufactured from smooth planed tongue and groove boards to complement your Compost Bin. So for the double bay compost bin, you will receive four lids.
With your order, you will also receive three lid support boards and instructions on how to add these to your existing bin. We've designed the lid to sit loosely inside your bin and so it does not overhang but it is easy to get your hands in to lift off.
Simply select the combination that works best for you and we'll do the rest.
So a quick overview
- you won't need any tools - simply slot the boards into the posts. The dovetail joints guarantee the bin's strength so there's no need for any nails.
- the bin can be assembled on any level ground with no need to dig footings.
- remember it's treated against rot.
- the double bin is likely to be delivered on a pallet but we'll let you know beforehand when it's coming.
- Check out the information about a pallet delivery here.
- the lids are heavy duty lids made from 14mm tongue and groove timber
- We supply the lids ready assembled.. There is no need for you to do anything except to place them on your bin.

DELIVERY - what happens
The majority of our products are big and heavy and so will be on a pallet which is delivered by lorry. We send our pallets out with the Palletways network and your local delivery depot will deliver to you.
The driver will be happy to unload the pallet as close as possible to your property, but is unlikely to take it to the bottom of your garden. Strictly speaking, the driver is only obligated to deliver to your kerbside so please be aware of this if access is a problem. The driver will not be able to move the pallet over gravel or any area where damage may be caused to your property.
If you have any delivery restrictions - narrow lane, hard to find property, please let us know so we can pass it on to the local delivery depot.
When your order has been despatched we will email you to let you know. The local delivery company will then contact you directly to arrange a convenient time to deliver the pallet to you. You don't have to be in to accept delivery as the pallet can be left safe.
If you haven't heard from the delivery company within 2 days of your goods leaving us, then give us a call so we can sort it out for you.
