If you own a bicycle, dedicated bike storage isn’t just a nicety, it’s an absolute necessity. Think about it. Your family’s bicycles are possibly the most expensive and frequently-used items in your garden, so it stands to reason that you’ll want to look after them.
Here, we take a look at the 3 main benefits of outdoor bike storage, and show you some of our top wooden bike sheds for sale.
Bike Storage Provides Complete Weatherproof Protection
You don’t think twice about putting your gardening tools back in the shed after using them, so why leave a far more expensive item like a bicycle lying around outside, exposed to the elements?
A wooden bike shed offers your bicycles complete weatherproof protection - preventing rust, prolonging their lifespan, and ensuring you’ll never need to sit on a wet saddle at the start of your bike rides.
6' x 2'6 Forest Double Door Overlap Wooden Bike Shed / Pressure Treated (no floor)
This bike storage shed is constructed in the UK from FSC®-certified timber, which is only sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests. Pressure treated and backed by a 15-year anti-rot guarantee, no further treatment is required, saving you time and money.
The 7mm overlap cladding is supported by a 28mm x 28mm frame, making for a robust and durable structure. The stylish pent roof is equally tough. Built from 8mm OSB and fitted with a black sand-felt cover, it offers your bicycles unbeatable weatherproof protection.
You can easily access your bikes through the wide double doors, which include hidden security hinges and a hasp and staple plate, ensuring they remain safe from unwanted attention (padlock not included).
Rounded off with a beautiful smooth-planed finish, this wooden bike is as attractive as it is effective.
Wooden Bike Sheds Deter Thieves
Your family’s bikes are probably worth hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds, so they make a very tempting target for thieves. Even if you live in a nice location and haven’t had any problems before, there’s still no room for complacency.
Once you’ve bought a bike shed, you can rest assured that your expensive bicycles will be safe from unwanted attention.
7' x 3' Mercia Overlap Wooden Bike Storage (2.01m x 0.82m)
With its striking design and sturdy build, this wooden bike shed makes a great home for up to 2 adult bikes.
The walls are constructed from 8mm overlap cladding, ensuring effective rainwater runoff and allowing for the natural movement of the timber over the changing seasons.
Both the floor and roof are made from hardwearing solid sheet. The former is supported by pressure-treated bearers, which improve air circulation and act as a barrier against rot. The latter features a traditional apex design, 2 diamond-shaped finials, and a weatherproof felt cover to keep the interior dry.
This bicycle storage unit’s wide double doors are ledged and braced for added strength. They come with robust metal hinges and a padlock fixing too, so rest assured that your expensive bikes will remain safe from unwanted attention.
Dip treated and supplied with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee, this extra-secure bike storage shed comes with instructions and fixings for a straightforward assembly.
Bike Storage Sheds Keep You Organised
If you only own one garden storage facility, be it a garage or shed, it can be extremely difficult to keep it organised. When in a rush, there’s always the temptation to leave what you’ve just used in the nearest available space and, before you know it, your garden storage system is in a bit of a mess.
Wooden bicycle storage offers you a dedicated space for your bikes, helmets, pumps and other cycling accessories. It will keep you organised, so you can lay your hands on your bikes and cycling gear immediately, without having to scramble over lawnmowers and the kids’ toys, trying to find them.
6' x 2'6 Shire Wooden Bike Shed & Garden Storage (1.89m x 0.75m)
The ideal size for 2 adult bikes, this bicycle storage shed is built from premium 12mm shiplap cladding, on a 34mm x 34mm frame, so is strong, stylish and supremely weathertight.
The 12mm solid sheet roof features a modern pent design and is fitted with a black sand-felt covering to keep the interior dry.
Wide double doors make storing and retrieving your bicycles and cycling accessories easy, while the exclusion of a floor is useful if you’re storing bikes that are muddy and wet. The doors are fitted with a hasp and staple plate too, so they’re ready for you to add a padlock for appropriate security.
The wood used to make this bike shed has been dip treated against rot. You should recoat it in a high-quality preservative annually, in order to maintain its protection and validate the excellent 10-year anti-rot guarantee.
