Looking for a way to store 2-3 bikes secur(ish)ly in the garden. The Asgards are nice, but I need an end opening version to easily get bikes in and out past each other.

The only decent option I can see is the 'BillyOh 6'x6' Metal Bike Store' - anyone got one or know more about them? Locking looks a bit basic, so I'd probably add something extra.

I bought a budget Walton's metal shed.

Screws don't line up. Holes not where they need to be. Gaps everywhere. It felt like a stiff breeze would blow it over. It wasn't even the size it was advertised as.

I phoned them up and pointed out it was not fit for purpose. They agreed and took it back.

I've since bought a Keter Artisan shed - it was on sale at Costco. Much, much better, and worth the extra money.

Sounds like a bit of a nightmare! Thanks for the heads up on the Keter, I’ll check them out

Yeah OP shed looks v cheap & nasty! By the specs the metal for an Asgard is 3-4 times as thick so no comparison really. Let alone the locks etc.

As much as I rate the Keter sheds they’re all lightweight/plastic so don’t fulfil the same function as an Asgard surely?

So light and plasticy that a careless Amazon courier broke 3 that they sent me, each one a replacement for the previous one they sent. So now I have 5. Two good ones and three slightly cracked ones - yeah they couldn’t take them away as they’d started to be assembled.

I wouldn't touch anything from Waltons/Kybotech.
