If you visit the waste aware web site you might be able to buy the bin type very cheaply some councils subsidise them I got mine for £10 and they had smaller ones for £8

Pick up 4 pallets from your local builders merchants (free). Find 8 pieces of wire, tie 2 on each corner, to make a cube with an open top, no bottom. Line with compost bags, cut open, black side to the wood inside, secure with drawing pins. Fill up with a 4inch layer of whatever you are composting, adding some old compost or horse manure between each layer. If you want a turning area, wire on 3 more pellets. When composted or if turning, open one side, hinge back the pallet.

If you want an actual bin, you can buy those, or you can knock up a wooden structure, minimum size 3 x 3 x 3 feet, leave open at the bottom onto soil, and one side will need removable door near the bottom to extract ready to use compost.
