iggy keeps posting pics of his projects and i was feeling jealous, wanted to post a pic of MY recent project, a "trash can corral". i was proud that i used mostly scavanged materials, it's electrical EMT bent w/ a hickey, pop riveted gussets, scabbed together angle iron. it actually isn't "FINISHED finished", i intended to put a corrugated sheetmetal floor on it but've got to scavenge up a 4' x 8' piece somewhere. i made this corral because every time after i go to the dump the empty cans would blow across my back yard, i'd taken to tying them all together so they didn't blow around but that was a hassle tying and untying them. i wanted to make something that looked nice (instead of cobbled together treated 2x4's).
i never even bothered to try to find if such a thing is available commercially, i did a google search for "trash can corral" and "trash can cart" and the ones that i found held only two cans, were on wheels, and looked like they were very flimsy-ily constructed, and more than i wanted to spend on 'em anyhow.
i didn't think EMT was going to be strong enough, i was afraid it's too ductile, but it seems ok.
b.w.
oh, p.s., you can see my duckies in the upper left hand area of the image, they're terribly overexposed but they're still there. DUCKIES!
