On a normal bike front wheel out and spin bars 90 degrees and it sits flat again the wall of the shed.
Obviously you can't do this with full guards , so I have to take the guard off and store as above.I could loosen the stem and spin bars but having to tighten them up every time I want to ride down to the shops would be a faff. I'm also paranoid about stem tightening regarding slippage v steerer snap.
What we really need is a QR stem or some other cunning plan. I can't store the bike standing up.
How do you do it?
Hung off the wall out of the way.
Shed is not tall enough .
Mudguards? Have you not looked outside?
Flat to the roof?
You need a bigger shed op.
Cut a small hole that the mudguard can stick through.
Or more likely can you store vertically /hand from roof by front wheel) or with bars high and mudguard in roof/roof apex

Do you really dare me to take them off? The rain god must be appeased at all times!
Do you really dare me to take them off
No, don't be silly. Obviously you need another bike that doesn't have mudguards thus removing the issue with faff of turning handlebars for a pootle to the shops.
Q/r stem, here you go;

Mine gets stacked carefully with all the others. I'm not understanding the problem tbh

110 mm long otherwise a total winner!
This looks good
bike for pootling to the shops
Locked up and undercover outside.
Front wheel off and hang by the handlebars?
It's what I've opted for due to similar issue with vertical space due to an overcrowded shed..
but having to tighten them up every time I want to ride down to the shops would be a faff.
I have my bars tight enough not to move during riding, but tight enough to twist by pushing strongly whilst holding the wheel (this also reduces forces going through things during a crash). the one bike that is stored at the end (wheels on) just has the bars turned then turned back again when I want to ride. no tightening needed.
I'd rather use a QR front mudguard than a QR stem... like [url= https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/sks-velo-65-mountain-mudguard-set/rp-prod85740 ]this typa thing[/url]. Full guard goes back on for winter.
Pedal hooks, allows stacking. Kits on amazon.
Front wheel shaped slot in end of shed so handlebars are against the wall.
Handlebar shaped hole in the side wall of shed 🙂
A seat collar QR is M6, same as many stem clamps.
The "just tight enough" idea sounds good also.
