    Hi All, long story short, I have pulled down my old shed which I kept my bikes in (no garage) and I'm looking to buy a new one, metal ones seem the cheaper option looking online, does anyone keep their bike in one and would you recommend any suppliers/make? t

    Can’t help on suppliers. But you might have to manage the condensation.

    All depends on what you call cheaper ones. Had a look online as I'm interested in one for a different purpose and the range seems to be mid hundreds to nearly 2000£. The more expensive ones get the "approval" of people like Bennets etc although I don't need that for a couple of mowers :)

    Coincidentally I've just ordered this 10' x 12' metal shed. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...o.order_list.order_list_main.5.5ed318029MTYFO
    Avoid sliding doors as they are not very secure and the handles where you put the lock are plastic. I've gone for hinged doors.
    I'll need to make a base for it, but the shed is being delivered tomorrow so I'll be able to let you know if it's made of chinesium or not.
    I wouldn't be worried about condensation as they have air vents, so the airflow should be ok. You'll get condensation on the bike though if you park a hot bike in a cold shed.

    lol. I hope you're not in a hurry. It arrived today in 4 flat packed boxes about the size of one of the doors and it's not getting build for a few weeks.

    My mate's lass bought a similar sounding one to keep her garden crap in, the instructions advised it would take 2 people 4 hours to build, he finished it with the help of her dad teatime on the second day!! :)
