Built the Same Way
What’s in Every Enclosure.
Steel where it holds the weight. Cedar where you look at it. Insured & Permitted.
Frame
Black powder-coated steel
A FenceTrac steel frame around every panel. Black only, frame and posts.
Boards
Cedar standard, PVC or composite
Tongue-and-groove boards slide into the frame and lock together. No gaps to see the cans through. Prices are with cedar. UltraBlend PVC and LuxeCore composite cost more.
Height
5 ft tall
Taller than a typical 96-gallon cart, so the lids don't peek over the top.
Posts
Plate-mounted steel posts
Each black steel post has a welded steel base plate. Four anchors bolt it into concrete.
Fit
Cut on site
We cut the frame to size at your house. It fits your wall and your slab, not a box size.
Finish
Cedar ships unfinished
No stain option on enclosures. Cedar left alone weathers to a soft gray. PVC and composite keep their color.
Concrete
Pad or No Pad.
The posts bolt to concrete. That’s it. If there’s already a slab where the cans sit, the plates go right on it and the price on the card is the price.
No slab? We pour one. It’s 4 in of concrete over 2 in of rock, with steel mesh and an expansion strip against the house.
A pad job is two trips. We pour, then wait about 7 days. The anchors need cured concrete to hold. Then we come back and install.

Trash Can Enclosure Questions
How much does a trash can enclosure cost in Wichita?
Our three standard builds are $1,749 for the Street Screen, $2,449 for the L-Shape and $4,799 for the Gated, installed with cedar boards. PVC and composite boards cost more. A new concrete pad adds $750 (3/4 pad) or $950 (full pad). Custom sizes get their own quote.
Will two 96-gallon carts fit?
Yes. A typical 96-gallon cart is roughly 2 ft wide, 3 ft deep and just under 4 ft tall. The L-Shape and Gated builds give you 6 ft across the front, so two carts sit side by side. On the Street Screen, the carts sit behind the 4 ft panel, out of view from the street. The 5 ft wall is taller than the carts.
Does it need a concrete pad?
It needs concrete under the posts. If you have a slab there already, the plates bolt to it. If you don’t, we pour one. That’s the pad add-on.
How long until it's installed?
Material takes 3 to 4 weeks after you sign. Then we schedule the install. With a new pad, we pour first and come back after about 7 days of cure.
Will my HOA allow it?
That’s up to your HOA. Check your HOA rules before you buy. We’ll help you with the submittal, and we can give you the drawing and spec sheet your HOA board asks for.
Can you build a different height or size?
Yes. We can build 4 ft or 6 ft tall, and other widths and layouts. Custom builds are quoted one by one.
Do you stain the cedar?
No. Enclosure cedar ships unfinished and we don’t offer stain on it. You can leave it to weather to gray. The steel frame stays black.
Can I get composite or PVC boards instead of cedar?
Yes. Any build can use UltraBlend PVC or LuxeCore composite boards in place of cedar. Our standard prices are with cedar. UltraBlend PVC adds $122 to $325 and LuxeCore composite adds $552 to $1,462, depending on the build. LuxeCore can take 10 to 12 weeks to arrive. The frame and posts stay black either way.
Can I still get the cans out on trash day?
Yes. The Street Screen and L-Shape are open on one side, so you roll the carts out like you do now. On the Gated, both leaves swing out and give you a 6 ft clear opening. A drop rod holds each leaf in place.
