Sheds / Garage?!
Hey people
 What Sam and I need.... : - A Shed/Garage to house 3 Motorbikes - 12 x 10 foot roughly in size - As secure as possible - Preferably portable (we're moving house in the next few months so building a breeze block garage is a little pointless!) - £0 to £800 spending Maximum... much much less than £800 if possible as we're broke! We've looked at a second hand metal garage and it was *the* pants. Seriously... someone could have sneezed by it and it would have fallen apart. This has kind of put us off metal garages to be honest but perhaps we've just had a bad experience. We're thinking more of a wooden shed now (no windows) but are not sure if they would be secure enough. Any ideas/suggestions/places to look? Have tried ebay and gumtree and preloved and there's a few wooden sheds at £350 - £500 new but just... not sure... Hmmmmmmmmm diggity! |

Can't offer much advice on suitability, however, this website seems to have windowless wooden sheds and metal sheds in the right dimensions that aren't too pricey. How secure they are though I don't know.

 Its a bit pony in the construction stakes (wood a little thin), although it has stood up to 2 winters. I do paint it every year though saying that. Personally, I would buy something like that with a view to it being a simple cover rather than a secure storage area and then have the bikes attached to the ground with some serious stakeage.

as long as the Bikes are out of sight, a good few chains and a couple of ground anchors concreted inside the shed would be fine. even pick up a cheap alarm for inside the shed!

I reckon you can't beat a 2nd hand baby monitor if you have power in your shed. Just them busting in to the shed would wake you up via the monitor/receiver & then you can Yawp out the window & call the law.

Hahaha! I like the baby monitor idea... I'd want a two way one so I could scare the Bejesus out of them!
I'm going to attempt... to speak with some specific motorbike shed companies and see whether anyone would be willing to give a discount for the cause/freebie... which we would return by the time we leave and advertise through our blog and agency. So... *A LOT* of marketing for them... item returned to them as a second hand to sell on... I think they'd be foolish to not consider it. Tomorrow, I will try my best! Will report back! Hoping one step better - they will give us a shed so we can sell it at the end of 9months and put the proceedings towards our charities! Fingers crossed eh!?
