Good bike shed

Post by Clunky »

Hey all,

Looking for some sort of enclosed bike shed to keep the weather off the bike.
Any suggestions?
Was thinking of a plastic one so it doesn't rot like a wooden shed.

Thanks!

Why not buy a container as used in shipping.There is a surplus in the UK.

If it just to keep the weather off the bike you could go for a plastic garden storage box type of thing. Zero security though so you may want to look at a ground or wall anchor to lock the bike to (inside whatever you store it in). For a more normal shed to avoid rot you can also get metal ones, although they may have heat/condensation problems? I have a self designed and built wood 10x8 shed, no rot problems if the roof felt is replaced every 5 years and wood gone over with treatment every 2 or so years... I'd expect it to last 15 years before needing to be replaced.

PS Just noticed date of OP question, hope you have found a solution to your storage requirements :-)

If you haven't got one yet try looking at Asgard sheds. Absolutely superb quality, had one for my motorcycle for years, very solid bit of kit, they have a huge range of sizes for all purposes.
