Plastic too easily burnt, metal to obvious its got valuables in
IMHO.

I have about 1.5k to spend on my new bike storage and out of everything im going for a handbuilt wooden number which will have about 3 different shells to get through.

Wood for me looks nice and the pressure treated stuff lasts pretty well.

not helped at all have I?

Dry stone

Gentlemen, I salute you, three replies, one for a website that doesn’t work, one to tell me to get neither, and one about building a dry stone bothy in my garden.

I live STW 🙂

There link works and you’re missing out!

Metal container with wooden cladding to make it look like a normal shed.

Had wooden one – rotted away
Had metal – bent and distorted then doors don’t close properly
Now considering plastic- probably float away if this afternoon is anything to go by!

Rob Hilton, I take it back, that’s a fab site

beefheart, is that a cold war observation post as used by the ROC per chance?

I got a TGB sheds security shed. Cut above the B&Q balsa ones. It’s really solid. And good to hide in.

Ooops. Mine’s timber. Ignore me.

Just your run of the mill nuclear bunker.
If I was in the market for a shed right now, that’s what I’d go for.

I’ve got an Asgard Access and it has been really good. It is designed for four bikes, but I’ve got five in it at the moment (a hybrid, two MTBs and two road bikes). No signs of perforation after over two years, and the hinge mechanism is still perfectly fine.

i had a 10 x 8 metal shed-from argos £300 ish-it was crap,door sliders broke,flimsy,headache to put up,was thing is condensation-iv got a wooden shed now-iv been forced to downsize to a 9×7 but i dont really spend any time in the shed tinkering-it all depends on your shelving/racking wokbenches etc space wise

Am just about to start building a self-designed wooden/steel hybrid shed.
Concrete base, (with monster ground anchor made from NATO towing hitch cast into it) frame from 2″ x 3″ timber, walls/roof lined in 11mm OSB board (great sructural strength) ouside clad in corrugated and Galved steel sheet – rockwoll insulation between inner and outer skin.
Door will be 50mm fire door with 2 x mortice locks and a cage which closes over it.

will have power, lights, and possibly internet/TV.

size 11.5′ x 14′

I’m expecting change from 2k, but not a lot of change.
