Frequently asked questions
Common questions about NO BUTTS BIN CO. from 3G Electric.
What are the standard dimensions available for NO BUTTS BIN CO. bus and smoking shelters?
NO BUTTS BIN CO. shelters are available in multiple standard footprints. Lengths range from 84 inches to 206 inches, widths from 42 inches to 84 inches, and all models have a height of 95 inches. For example, model NBS0412FS measures 124 in x 42 in x 95 in, while NBS0820BW measures 206 in x 84 in x 95 in. These dimensions allow selection based on available space and expected occupancy. The unassembled design means the shelter is shipped in components and assembled on site, so final footprint matches the specified dimensions once erected. Buyers should verify site clearance and foundation requirements before ordering.
What is the difference between the 3-wall back-to-wall and 4-wall NO BUTTS BIN CO. shelters?
The 3-wall back-to-wall models are designed to be installed against an existing wall or structure, using that surface as the fourth side. They have three aluminum walls and include integrated seating. The 4-wall models are free-standing with four walls, providing enclosure on all sides, and also include seating in many configurations. Both types are unassembled and feature powder-coated aluminum frames. The choice depends on site layout: back-to-wall models conserve space and materials when a suitable wall exists, while 4-wall models offer full enclosure where no adjacent structure is available. Part numbers reflect these differences, such as NBS0412BW (3-wall) versus NBS0412FS (4-wall).
Are NO BUTTS BIN CO. shelters shipped assembled or unassembled?
All NO BUTTS BIN CO. shelters in the 3G Electric catalog are supplied unassembled. This means the components—aluminum frame members, panels, seating, and hardware—are shipped flat and require on-site assembly. The unassembled format reduces shipping volume and can lower freight costs, especially for large shelters. Assembly typically requires basic tools and follows manufacturer instructions. Buyers should plan for assembly labor and ensure the site is prepared with a level foundation. The unassembled design also allows for easier transport to locations with restricted access, such as rooftops or enclosed courtyards. 3G Electric provides the manufacturer part number for each SKU to facilitate ordering and assembly documentation.
What material are NO BUTTS BIN CO. shelters made from and how are they finished?
NO BUTTS BIN CO. shelters are constructed with aluminum frames and finished with a powder-coated black coating. Aluminum provides corrosion resistance and is lightweight relative to steel, which simplifies handling and assembly. The powder coating adds a durable, uniform black finish that resists chipping and fading from UV exposure. This combination is suitable for outdoor environments, including areas with moisture or salt air. The seating included in many models is also designed for outdoor use. While the frame is aluminum, other components such as fasteners and seating materials may vary; buyers should refer to specific product data sheets for details. The powder-coated finish is standard across the models listed by 3G Electric.
Which NO BUTTS BIN CO. models include integrated seating?
Integrated seating is included in several NO BUTTS BIN CO. models, as indicated in their specifications. For example, NBS0820BW, NBS0412BW, NBS0816FS, NBS0416FS, NBS0408BW, and NBS0416BW all list 'Includes Seating' in their descriptions. The seating is built into the shelter design, typically as benches along the interior walls. Models without seating may be available but are not listed in the current 3G Electric selection. Buyers should confirm seating inclusion by checking the product specifications or part number. The seating is intended to provide a designated area for users and is constructed to match the shelter's outdoor durability.
Can NO BUTTS BIN CO. shelters be used for both smoking and bus waiting?
Yes, NO BUTTS BIN CO. shelters are designed as dual-purpose structures for smoking and bus waiting. The product descriptions consistently refer to them as 'bus and smoking shelters.' This dual use allows transit authorities, commercial facilities, and institutions to provide a sheltered area that serves both functions, depending on location and policy. The shelters include seating and are enclosed on three or four sides to protect users from weather. The design does not include specialized ventilation or filtration, so they are not intended for enclosed indoor smoking. They are outdoor structures. Buyers should ensure local regulations permit combined use or specify the shelter for one purpose as needed.
