COMPOST BIN CONSTRUCTION
The Cutting Diagrams show how each piece of lumber is to be broken down.
The components are numbered in the order they are assembled. Due to the
moisture that is required for composting, it is highly recommended that all
cuts be treated with an end cut wood preservative.
2x2 Pressure Treated Baluster
Twelve (12) boards 36"long are required for components #1, 6, 7, 8.
1x6 Pressure Treated Lumber
Ten (10) boards 8' long are required for the following components #9 – 14.
2x4 Pressure Treated Lumber
Two (2) boards 10'long are required for components #2 – 5.
