New rental flat, with a walled rear garden with no side access but a very sturdy metal pipe I can motorbike chain to.
Looking at cheapish ways of keeping 3 bikes dry short of buying a shed (6month tenancy so need to take it with me!)
Like the look of a bike tent:

What else could i go for?
My money would be in the flat...
cheap tarpaulin. Lidl were doing them a few weeks ago.
OT but I think the OP has solved my shed within a garage question 8)

Ha yeah I wish! but it has just been painted floor to ceiling white and new floors so inside is not on the cards sadly.

I'd potentially put the bike tent in the flat is there was room. Check what your insurance says.
Lock them all together in your car and cover with a large throw/blanket and tint the windows out. or buy a van (mot failure) and sorn it.

Remarkably only £32 at Halfords! Bargin!
ninfan...yeah good spot I'v been in and picked one up, pretty impressed to be honest.
In the house wrapped in tarp to protect decor?
Oxford products motorbike cover. Good sized one will cover 3 bikes easy and they have holes in which to lock the cover to the bikes. Lets the bikes breathe and relatively weather proof. Only good if you combine with a big ass lock and chain.
I have the Bike Cave tent.
It's WAY better than a generic cover/tarp as it keeps any moisture off the bikes, all covers seem to allow a small amount of seepage if in contact with the item, becasue the tent is totally off the bikes, it keeps them bone dry.
I've had mine for 18 months now, a couple of times i've snapped the poles, but they're only £8 to get a new pole.
Highly recommended by me.
