Installation Instructions

THE DUMPSTER GUARD® was designed to fit a typical 10′ x 10′ enclosure. If your enclosure is smaller, you can still install THE DUMPSTER GUARD®.

We recommend maintaining 12″ clearance.

  • Step

    Using a tape measure and pencil, measure the width of the enclosure. Divide measurement in half. Be sure to make marks at the front and the rear of the enclosure.

    Snap a line between these two marks. This is your “centerline” of the enclosure.

  • Step

    Using the “centerline,” measure from theback wall forward 10″ and make a mark.

  • Step

    Starting at the 10″ mark, use the 3′ – 4′ – 5′ method for finding a 90* angle. Snap through the two points creating a line parallel to the back wall.
