Does anyone have a bike "cave" or tent?
I have a "proper" bike and a fold up bike and need somewhere to store them. Due to the layout of the house, it's not really practical to keep them in the back garden (we have no outdoor access from the front of the house to the back), so I am looking at getting a bike cave

to keep in the front garden. I'd get one of the Anka points to lock the bike(s) to, and we live in a pretty good, low crime rate, so although I know they are not ideal, I am thinking it's the best, cheapest option for now.
But I can't see how many bikes you can realistically keep in one. My son is also talking about getting a "proper" bike, so ideally that would also be stored in the cave.
Is it possible for three bikes to be stored in one, or would the maximum likely be two?

Going by this sellers images I think 3 would be a tight squeeze.0 -
Thanks custardy. That's what I thought. I've tried searching for "three bike cave" but not come up with anything yet

If you have sufficient height in your hallway, have you thought about a bike hoist? Of course Amazon sell these too:
