Are the bottom edges secure against the ground, enough so that raccoons couldn't wriggle under there? Looking to store trash bins.

We have ours on cement for bike storage. I would think so if put on grass and auger's used to secure.

I would say wouldn't work. The tarp just lays on the ground and is only secure at the posts. If the animals want to get in there. They will get in there. I had problems with mice nesting in my lawn tractor in mine. I hope his helps

The short answer no, the flaps of material fan out on the ground, even if attached to the ground a racoon could still get under it.

Yes, since the containers are about 8 inches round. I left the walls loose at the bottom, but may need to rethink that when it rains.

I would think it would not attract rodents, even though mice can get thru the smallest of holes (which go right down to the bottom of the unit). When I put food scraps into the bin, I put it at least 6 inches away from the edge, covering it well with leaves/brown material. If you are still worried, I suggest a screen around the lower half of the bin. That would keep the air flowing, but not sure the mice would get under the screen anyway. I tried a tarp (not for mice), but it got too dry. Looks like no one else is having mouse issues either. Good Luck.

U mean keeping rats out or housing rats?either way I would say that the outdoor space needs to b better secured. The piece provided will not keep vermin out.

It should. I'm feeding cats, but raccoons have tried to get in and knocked it over - it didn't open. There is provision to screw it down, which if I had used it would not have knocked over.

I would think so. I have mine on a metal platform because I put storage bins under it.

Go by the mfg measurements to see if it would. Keep in mind that once the bag is opened and the initial amount of seed is removed the bag will have a "squishabilty" factor and can be better conformed to the box. The real issue here is the weight itself. This winter I put in at least 25lbs at a time of rocksalt and the bottom held up fine with no extra support. I was worried that it may not. You could ask the manipufacturer, divide the bag of seed (defeating the purpose?) or brace the bottom of the box from underneath (which you won't see) by placing boards that fit exactly between the floor or ground and the box (same height as the legs). Two 4" wide boards will do it. It is easy and will give good support. The box is very attractive, holds up well and does keep the elements out. It won't blow open as it has a catch on the front. ( It won't keep raccoons out however!) I think you'll be happy with it. Good luck!

The lid is very tight. I also have lots of rocks around the base. No rodent issues. I use a pitchfork. I am on my second composing and the bin is still in excellent condition.

These bins don't seal tightly. The lid flap just lays on there. Smaller bugs could get in.

The bottom of the trundle is solid but would be ok for storage of light objects. Rolls extremely well.

don't know how smart your critters are.... they would have to push down on the red latch. my husband thinks a racoon could figure it out. I doubt it. it is small enough that we keep it on our kitchen countertop. I totally love it. the latch means you can have the garbage in your hands and still open it without making a mess. I would not want to carry the garbage across the floor to the outside. Also, it is not really big enough to keep outside in my opinion. I use a lot of veggies for two people, and we take it to the garbage once or twice a week. It has a very small footprint on the countertop. If you want to keep it outside, get a bigger one or move your garbage can closer.

It is sturdy but I wouldn't risk it. I don't think it's intended for the outdoors. A raccoon would figure it out.

The doggy hut it pretty solid on the bottom and does not sag once my dogs are inside and ready to go for a ride. I pull it with my bike and have no problems going anywhere. The clearance underneath is from the wheel axle to the ground. My neighborhood also has several speed bumps and I have never bottomed out with it. Hope this answered your question!

Hale,I hang this off a dedicated trash can for litter disposal. The bottom of the holder is flat and might be capable of free storage.

If you are putting bins on it, there should be no problem, as long as the floor is stable.

probably! We used safety pins for strength. And there ARE straps to secure the bottom corners!

What is the clearance under the bed would 6" high plastic bins slip under for storage?
