Having recently had bikes taken out of my shed I need to sort out my bike storage, given my bike shed was on its last legs anyway I thought it was about time I got a new, more secure unit.
Anyone using one of the bespoke metal bike storage sheds, how do you find them and what can people recommend?
A quick Google brings up a couple

Anyone using these? HOw do you find them? Anything else worth looking at?
I've also briefly looked at the storage devices Doug and would be interested in what others have to say.
I got the following info from Ben after I emailed about the protect a cycle (trimetals) one:
[i]The unit is completely weather proof, the panels are guaranteed for 25 years against rust and corrosion even in coastal regions.
The Bicycle Store is not a sealed unit. The door and roof panels are sealed using a weather proof form covering the edges of the side panels. There is a small gap at the bottom of the door panel although this is sheltered and the possibility of water entering the unit is slim.
The Bicycle Store does not come as standard with a floor, the base is open. Water can run under the unit and without the flooring option dampen items placed on the ground inside. The optional wooden flooring is raised approximately 1 inch from the ground on metal bearers, allowing water to run under the unit but not spoil the contents. The store also features built in ventilation using the ribs on the door and roof panels. The air movement reduces build up of moisture inside the unit keeping condensation to a minimum.
If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind Regards[/i]
Incidentally there's a trimetals one on ebay at the moment. It's bit far away for me to pick up though if I won it 🙁
