Shed / Garage
Does anyone know a really good freestanding shed or shelter for bikes to sit in, just to get them out of the elements?
I've seen these metal ones - I don't mind putting it together.

Re: Shed / Garage
I wouldnt go for a metal shed, they get damp as anything and fill right up with moisture. Id go for a wooden shed myself.
Or buy some bricks and build one.

Re: Shed / Garage
My problem with that bike cover thingy is that it just advertises the fact you have a bike................... a plain wooden shed doesn't
Better still a proper built workshop/garage is best......................I know two good builders thats how I did mine

Re: Shed / Garage
Build one, bricks dont cost that much (not sure about now) and you can always extend that if you need to. Might add value to your property too?

Re: Shed / Garage
blockwork is cheapish, and easy enough to do mate. the costs are in the groundwork normally!
3k if you have a go yourself, for a single skin double garage with flat roof, aslong as your not on dodgy ground

Re: Shed / Garage
bricks are well expensive! A palet is £130 odd from B&Q...

Re: Shed / Garage
Ah, you see, I am renting, and although we don't plan on moving anywhere else, I'm not allowed to stick up a brick garage in the front driveway, even though there are layouts where there used to be one. Or two, Or three, over the years.
I'm looking for something that I can stash my ZXR400 in and finish it off really, as it's still in my Ex's garage. In bits. If it can fit my 2 other bikes in to park, that's a bonus. I really want shelter for tinkering space.
And if it costs more than £300odd, I think that buying a dog will have to wait.

Re: Shed / Garage
what about one of them old concrete sectional garages? could you put one of them on a previous garage site?
you can normally get them free or near enough if you go and dismatle and collect. I think they may be classed as temporary like a shed, so no building regs etc..
