Bike shed - Any recommendations?

Matt_Pug_106

The time has come to house my pride and joy in a wooden shed....I've just moved house and have no indoor space or garage so the only option is a shed in the garden.

I've got very limited space so looking for something aprox 6x3 but can go a little bigger. It also needs to be a half sized style shed so I'd say 5ft high?

I've come across a couple that fit within my budget of £250 however I'm worried about the flimsy doors -

I'll be reinforcing whatever I buy to a certain extent but would like it to be safe-ish to start with. I'll also be investing in the usual ground anchor, chains, locks and alarm system.

Any pointers would be good as it's hard to tell looking at photos online.

I used a company called Viking sheds a few years ago. I was very pleased with the product and the quality was spot on ! They are based in Stafford and will deliver for a fee.

But why not get a few ideas from pictures on the web and buy the treated timber from a builders yard and have ago yourself.

Lateral thinking.

Do you have a room in your new house where you could do this?

Put suitable bike hooks on a wall. Buy and fit a large decorative blanket, throw or something similar that will completely cover the bike when it is in place.

With a bit of thought, perhaps you could do something that would look good whether the bike was there or not.

Op doesn't say what type of bike it is.

I have visions of someone trying to hang a motorbike on their wall. :rotfl:

Viking sheds looks good and they use tanalised wood which a lot of companies don't.

Bikes in the home are a no go, we have really limited space which is a shame.

I'd love a motorbike but it's for push bikes

That would build up his muscles.
