Your Guide to Bike Sheds and Storage

Store & Secure Your Bike

Your bike is an investment. If you have a family, you'll most likely have more than one bike. Are they left out to face the elements? At risk of theft? Or are they cluttering up the garage or hallway, tripping you up time and time again.

The solution? A bike store!

 

Types of Bike Storage

Wooden Bike Sheds

Best kept in a garden or side passageway, wooden bike stores should be kept out of sight of opportunistic passers-by. Admittedly more vulnerable than their metal counterparts, they look fantastic, blending in perfectly with a traditional garden thanks to their natural appearance.

You also have the option to paint a bike shed to match your shed, fence and any other garden buildings or features.

Moreover, pressure treated varieties will be guaranteed against rot and fungal decay for an impressive 15 years. They are designed to stand the test of time, protecting your bicycle for many years to come, with no maintenance from you required.

Be sure to place your wooden bike store on a solid, level surface such as concrete or paving slabs. Placing directly on the grass would only result in premature rotting, water damage, and subsidence.

Metal Bike Storage

Whilst they are more expensive than their wooden counterparts, metal bike stores are undoubtedly the most secure. No thief would want to take on a solid metal unit, anchored down to a concrete base; angle-grinders are difficult to carry around, and not the best accessory for a silent and swift operation.

The highest quality secure outdoor bike stores are fortresses boasting 25 year warranties, as well as LCPB’s Security Rating 1 and police preferred specification.

They’re even fire proof, so will be more than a match for the elements and the worst of British weather.

The larger varieties will be able to store multiple adult bikes, as well as helmets, shoes, locks and any other cycling accessories the shop assistant managed to convince you are ‘essentials’.
