Bike Sheds

A bike shed solves the hallway-bike problem in a way no porch hook does: full bikes, no lifting, padlock to the bike frame and the shed. The dimensions worth knowing are interior length (at least 2m for adult bikes) and door width (75cm-plus to wheel a bike straight in). Most bike sheds also store a couple of helmets and a small toolbox, so volume above 1000 litres is the practical floor. Aosom UK and Buy Sheds Direct cover the £14-£3,410 range from compact two-bike lockers up to four-bike garden lockers; Furniture in Fashion handles the £200-£500 mid-tier of metal bike storage. Decide how many bikes the unit needs to take and add one. Bike sheds are the household furniture most likely to be at full capacity within a year.
