instead of being curved, and the
hoops are made of heavy wire.
The staves are made of 1x6 fenc
ing, only first class stuff being
used. To make such a bin cut
enongh staves of proper length

and lay them down on a floor all
parallel. Lay the heavy wire
across these and staple the wire
to each stave where it crosses.

it not in use it can be rolled up
with the wire or hoop side inner
most and laid away in the dry.
It will be Been that when cylin
der is in use with the hopps on
the outside, the edges of all the
staves will be pressed tightly
together, but when it is rolled
in the other direction with the
wire innermost the staves will
separate, thus allowing a shorter
bend and making a comparativly
small roll. The details of floor and
roof can be worked out as in
other portable bins.
