I Wanna Bike Shed

Kimberley

A bike shed that will store up to 3 adult bikes. Anyone know a company that does them? It has to be especially for bikes because a lot of sheds i've seen wouldn't store more then two bikes

Have you looked, in all places, at the Argos catalogue ? You'd have to work out _exactly_ how much space you want per bike.

It's stuff like that, that will make the difference in price i.e. do you expect to get on your bike and ride it out of the shed ? or do you mind about any hassle of unhooking it from an "over head" position.

Plus, is theft a problem in your area ? Cos that also might affect price/quality i.e. woods' easy to break, metal is heavier to install and probably more expensive etc etc.

Sorry I can't be specific - I built my shed myself - and could park about a dozen large motorbikes in it - it was about a weeks work building it and about £600 for the timber and roofing (windows free - father-in-law got new ones fitted and I used an old one). Now all I have to do is run power down the garden

Thanks i'll take your advice on board :beer: I just want it big enough to store 3 adult size bikes without squeezing them in, so that i can remove them one by one without fiddling about with them. At the moment the bikes are in the garden under covers, but wind has ripped one and rain water still gets in resulting in the chains rusting. I have a small long shed that fits one bike in and the bike is still as clean as it went in, so i definately need a shed for the others.

Not cheap but seems to be about the best around and recommended by the Bike Mags:

As Per Bike security, I have found Motorcycle storage garages are tough with asgards, weatherproof units for the most secure storage of motorcycles and riding accessories.
