Little Tom Handmade Log & Bin Store
Little Tom Handmade Log & Bin Store
Two of the least attractive things in a garden are often the ones we need most: wheelie bins and a good supply of firewood. Little Tom brings them together in one beautifully crafted outdoor structure, giving you a practical way to keep both neatly organised and discreetly out of sight.
Handmade in the UK, Little Tom combines a generous log store with secure storage for up to three large wheelie bins. It's a substantial solution for larger households that want to make better use of their outdoor space without compromising on appearance.
Rather than having your bins lined up beside the house and your firewood stacked elsewhere, Little Tom gives everything its own dedicated place. The result is a tidier garden, better organised storage and a more attractive view from your windows.
Finished with a genuine reclaimed Welsh slate roof, Little Tom has the character of a traditional outdoor building, while its robust construction is designed to stand up to everyday use and the changing British weather.
One structure, two practical storage problems solved.
The log store provides approximately 1.5 cubic metres of firewood storage, equivalent to around 1.5 tonnes of logs. That's enough space to keep a useful supply of firewood close at hand for your wood burner or open fire.
Alongside it sits a dedicated, enclosed bin store with room for up to three large wheelie bins. The shiplap-clad doors conceal your bins from view, helping to create a cleaner and more considered outdoor space.
The bin storage area is also lockable, providing an added layer of security and helping to keep your bins contained and neatly in place.
For homes where practical storage is limited, Little Tom makes a particularly useful addition. Instead of needing separate structures for your logs and bins, both are incorporated into one substantial handmade design.
Built around everyday practicality
Little Tom has been designed to be used every day, not simply admired. The log storage area features a raised slatted timber floor, lifting your firewood away from the ground while allowing air to circulate underneath. The slatted back also encourages ventilation, helping your logs to stay in better condition and season naturally.
A solid timber divide separates the firewood from the bin storage, keeping the two areas clearly defined and giving the structure a robust, substantial feel.
The timber is tanalised and pressure treated to help protect against rot and fungal attack, while the 125mm treated timber posts provide a strong framework capable of supporting the structure and its reclaimed slate roof.
Traditional craftsmanship with a timeless finish
Little Tom isn't a plastic wheelie-bin enclosure or a basic timber storage shed. Its design combines practical outdoor storage with the traditional details that give a handmade Frank & Pig piece its character.
The reclaimed Welsh slate roof adds texture and a sense of history, while gallows brackets, shiplap sides and a timber slatted back create a classic appearance that works beautifully in both rural and suburban gardens.
Heavy-duty ironmongery completes the structure, providing durable hardware for everyday use.
Why choose Little Tom?
Little Tom is the right choice if you need to solve more than one storage problem at once.
If you have several household bins taking up valuable space and also need somewhere substantial to store your firewood, this combined design allows you to bring both functions together in a single, carefully considered structure.
With room for up to three large wheelie bins and approximately 1.5m³ of logs, Little Tom offers a generous amount of storage without requiring two separate outdoor buildings.
It is particularly well suited to larger households, properties with limited storage space and homeowners who want their bins and firewood neatly contained rather than left exposed around the garden.
Choose Little Tom if you want your practical outdoor storage to look like part of your home and garden, rather than an afterthought.
