Every Suncast in this roundup is the same idea at three sizes: a resin cabinet with a latching lid that takes a standard bag, so the can stops looking like a can. Pick by liner size and by how much deck you are willing to give up.

The short answer
Buy the Suncast 39-Gallon Resin Outdoor Hideaway. It is the largest single unit here, it takes a normal 30 to 39 gallon bag with no odd sizing, and the hinged lid means one hand puts a bag in. The budget pick is the Suncast Trash Hideaway 33 Gallon, which is the same cabinet one size down and the cheapest way to get the look. If the problem is two cans rather than one, the Suncast 33 Gallon Trash Hideaway 2-Pack is the set to order rather than buying twice.

Suncast 39-Gallon Resin Outdoor Hideaway Trash CanThe larger Hideaway, for a patio that generates more than a 33 can hold between collections.
Suncast Trash Hideaway Refuse Container, 33 GallonA latching-lid resin can with a wicker texture, for the deck or patio where a municipal cart would look wrong.
None of these is a wildlife container. They are concealment with a latch - good against wind and a curious dog, not against a determined raccoon and nowhere near bear-rated. If that is the problem you are solving, the best raccoon-proof trash cans and bear-resistant vs bear-proof are the pages you want instead.

What you are actually buying
Suncast's refuse containers are resin cabinets, built on the same tooling as the brand's deck boxes. That shapes everything about how they behave.
They take a bag directly, not a can. There is no inner bucket in the Trash Hideaway line - the liner sits in the body and the lid latches over it. That is why the liner size on the spec sheet matters more than the gallon number on the box.
Resin does not rust, rot or dent, which is the whole argument against a galvanized can on a deck. It does fade, and a dark finish in full sun will go chalky over several seasons.
The latch is for wind. A latching lid stops the lid sailing off in a gust and keeps rain out of the bag. It is not a lock. How to keep trash cans from blowing over covers the rest of the wind problem.
They are furniture-sized. These sit against a wall on a patio or deck and are meant to be looked at. Measure the run before you order, particularly for the two-pack.

The picks in full
01 — Best larger patio can
Suncast 39-Gallon Resin Outdoor Hideaway Trash Can
The larger Hideaway, for a patio that generates more than a 33 can hold between collections.
Capacity
39 gallons
Material
All-weather resin
Lid
Hinged
Same all-weather resin and the same discreet look, with meaningfully more capacity. For an outdoor kitchen or a household that entertains, the 33 fills in an afternoon and this does not.
What we'd flag: it is still a resin patio can, not a municipal cart. Do not expect it to survive being tipped by a truck arm or dragged loaded across gravel.

Liner size
Standard 30-33 gallon liners
Exterior
17" W x 17" D x 31.5" H
Interior
14" W x 14" D x 26" H
Lid
Hinged, latching
Material
All-weather resin
Warranty
90 days general
The latch is the point: a hinged lid that clicks shut is a materially harder target for a raccoon than a lid resting on a rim. The wicker-style finish and the solid bottom panel mean it reads as outdoor furniture rather than refuse, which is why people will actually put it on a deck rather than hiding it down the side of the house. It assembles without tools.
What we'd flag: the general warranty is 90 days, which is very short for something living outdoors in UV and frost. Compare that against ten years on a Toter before you decide.

Assembly
Tool-free
Most households now have two cans at the curb and nowhere sensible to keep them between collections. Buying the pair solves it in the way that actually works outdoors: two separate 16-inch-square units you can place either side of a door or against different walls, each with a hinged lid that latches rather than a cabinet door that swings open in wind. Each one takes a standard 30 to 33-gallon liner, and both assemble without tools.
What we'd flag: this is two cans, not one cabinet — if you wanted a single unit with doors, this is not it. And a latching resin lid is concealment plus a mild deterrent, not containment: it will slow a raccoon down and will not stop a bear at all.
If the goal is hiding cans rather than replacing them, a storage shed swallows the wheeled carts you already own and costs more - that comparison is in the best outdoor trash can enclosures. If the goal is a good-looking can for a patio, the best outdoor trash cans for patios puts the Suncast range next to the Keter equivalents.
And if the can is going to live on a driveway and go to the curb, none of these is the right shape. A two-wheel cart is - see the best outdoor trash cans with wheels.
The two worth the money: the 39-gallon for one bag a day, the two-pack if trash and recycling both need hiding.
Best larger patio can
Suncast 39-Gallon Resin Outdoor Hideaway Trash Can
The larger Hideaway, for a patio that generates more than a 33 can hold between collections.
Suncast's hideaways are one of the few outdoor cans with made-to-measure covers on the market, in both the 33 and 39 gallon sizes. The best outdoor trash can covers and pads compares them against the universal stretch covers and explains when a fitted cover is worth the narrower fit.

Common questions
What is the best Suncast trash can?
The 39-gallon Resin Outdoor Hideaway. It is the largest single unit in the range, takes a standard 30 to 39 gallon liner and has a hinged latching lid you can work one-handed.
Do Suncast hideaways come with an inner can?
No. The Trash Hideaway line is designed to take a bag directly in the body, which is why the liner size matters more than the stated gallon capacity.
Are Suncast trash cans animal-proof?
No. The latching lid resists wind and a nosy dog. It is not a wildlife-resistant container and carries no bear certification.
What size bags fit a Suncast Trash Hideaway?
Suncast states 30 to 33 gallon liners for the 33-gallon units and up to 39 gallon for the larger body. A 13-gallon kitchen bag is far too small.
Will a Suncast hideaway fade outside?
Resin does not rust or rot, but a dark finish in direct sun will lose some color over several seasons. That is the normal trade for a material that survives rain and frost.
Can you wheel a Suncast hideaway to the curb?
No. These are static cabinets, not two-wheel carts. If the can has to travel to the curb each week, buy a wheeled cart instead.
