most compost bins are on flat ground. our yard is hilly and we have a small (.25acre) yard. not much room.
by cutting the sides at an angle to match the hill, the compost bin is set into the hill.
it is anchored with metal stakes, and pieces of rebar driven into the ground. it is held together with coat hangers.
the lowest 2 boards in front come off so the oldest stuff at the bottom can be used in a small amount, or just dug out and thrown on top to turn or aerate it. to empty it, the whole front comes off, and it is easy to park a wheelbarrow edge just below it.
sorry only 2 pics to show it, but i hope you dont need a step-by-step to build. this just shows the overall design idea, as displayed by my very proud helper.
