Stahlfred garbage bin box 4 boxes for 240 liters in anthracite on a slope

Four bins, one clear picture: the Stahlfred 4 boxes for 240 liters in anthracite

When four 240-liter bins are left out in the open against the house wall, they immediately catch the eye, and usually not in a good way. The Stahlfred 4 boxes garbage bin box combines residual waste, organic waste, paper, and yellow bags behind a closed front made of powder-coated steel. In the photos, you can see them in anthracite (RAL 7016) beneath a covered porch, neatly arranged in a row, with a gravel bed and house wall as a calm backdrop.

What makes this arrangement special: the ground slopes slightly. That is exactly what the box is designed for. Thanks to its height-adjustable feet, it stands level and straight despite the slope, without you having to alter the ground.

Who benefits from a 4 boxes box for 240 liters?

A 4 boxes box with four continuous 240-liter compartments is suitable wherever a lot of waste accumulates and waste separation is mandatory.

Typical examples include:

• Families that fully separate waste into four categories
• Homes with collection every two weeks, where waste accumulates in the meantime
• Semi-detached houses or two households sharing one parking area
• Properties where the bins have previously stood openly visible at the entrance

The box can be configured as follows:

• Residual waste, organic waste, waste paper, and yellow bags, each in one compartment
• All four compartments for 240-liter bins, for maximum capacity
• Mixed use with smaller bins, as 90- and 120-liter bins also fit inside

Anthracite steel: why this combination works so well outdoors

The body is made of hot-dip galvanized sheet steel with a powder coating inspired by automotive finishes. This coating protects against weather and corrosion and remains colorfast even after years outdoors.

Anthracite (RAL 7016) is the most understated choice for outdoors. The shade looks modern, blends into the architecture, and shows considerably less dust, pollen, and rain marks than light colors. In the pictures, you can clearly see how the dark front recedes against the light rendered facade instead of pushing itself into the foreground.

Assembly, lid, and everyday access

Each compartment has a front door and a steel hinged lid on top. To fill the bin, fold the lid upward; to replace the bin, open the door. The photos show both states: first, all four lids open with a view of the bins, and second, the closed front, which simply looks like one continuous enclosure.

The lid and door can be locked together with a central lock. This keeps the bins in place in windy conditions and keeps unwanted animals out. The hinged lid also lets you fill the bin from above without opening the door every time.

Space and ground: how the box stays level even on a slope

The 4 boxes for 240-liter bins are 296 cm wide and 80 cm deep, and around 120 cm high with the lid. Leave some space all around so the lids and doors can open freely. The clear interior width of each compartment is 61.5 cm, with a depth of 80 cm and a height of 109 cm, providing enough room for standard 240-liter bins.

The ground should be as level as possible, but a slight slope is not a problem. That is exactly what the customer photos show: The box stands on a sloping strip along the house wall and compensates for the incline with height-adjustable feet that can be adjusted from 15 to 60 mm. This keeps the front level, allows the lids to close properly, and prevents anything from tipping over. If you want to anchor it securely, use the pre-drilled holes in the floor rails; this is not essential.

You can find more examples of placing the box on a slope in the overview Garbage bin boxes on a slope.

Steeper slopes: arrange the modules in steps

The height-adjustable feet compensate for the slope, up to the adjustment range specified on the product page. If this adjustment range is not sufficient, you still do not need any earthworks: Instead of one continuous box, place several individual modules next to one another in steps, for example several 1 box or two 2 boxes instead of one 4 boxes. Each module then stands level on its own, and the steps also compensate for a significantly steeper slope.

The matching individual module is the Stahlfred garbage bin box 1 box. You can find all individual boxes under 1 box garbage bin boxes and the two-compartment boxes under 2 boxes garbage bin boxes. You can see more examples of placing the boxes on a slope in the overview Garbage bin boxes on a slope.

Conclusion: tidy, robust, and suitable for demanding surfaces

The Stahlfred 4 boxes in anthracite accommodates four 240-liter bins behind a sleek, weather-resistant steel front, even where the ground is not perfectly level. Powder-coated steel, a central lock, and height-adjustable feet make it a solid solution for households with lots of waste and a site with a slight slope.

Frequently asked questions about the Stahlfred 4 boxes for 240 liters

Does the 4 boxes garbage bin box also work on a sloping surface?

Yes. The surface should be as level as possible, but a slight slope is not a problem. The height-adjustable feet can be adjusted from 15 to 60 mm and compensate for the incline, allowing the box to stand level and the flip-top lids to close properly.

Which bin sizes fit in the Stahlfred 4 boxes?

Bins with capacities of 90, 120, or 240 liters fit in each compartment. In the box shown, all four compartments are designed for 240-liter bins, with a clear width of 61.5 cm, a depth of 80 cm, and a height of 109 cm per compartment.

What material is the box made of, and how is it protected against the weather?

The body is made of hot-dip galvanized sheet steel with a powder coating inspired by automotive paints. This protects against corrosion and weathering and keeps the anthracite color (RAL 7016) stable even during continuous outdoor use.

Can the box be locked?

Yes. The lid and door are locked together with a central lock. This secures the bins against wind and keeps animals out.

Does the garbage bin box need to be anchored to the ground?

Not necessarily. The height-adjustable feet provide a secure footing even without anchoring. If you want to fix it securely in place, use the pre-drilled holes in the base rails. You can find all the details on the Stahlfred 4 boxes product page.

What should I do if the slope is greater than the adjustment range of the feet?

In that case, place several individual modules next to each other in steps instead of using one continuous box, for example several 1 box or two 2 boxes instead of one 4 boxes. Level each module individually, and use the steps to compensate for a significantly steeper slope.
