The Bicycle Storage Guide Points to Consider Before You Buy

There are many sheds on the market but not all are specifically made to house bicycles safely and securely. The bicycle storage solutions provided in this post are specifically designed with bicycles in mind. 

Are you looking to invest in your first bike shed for the home? If the answer is yes, then there are several points one should consider before you invest. A bike storage shed can be a large investment, you will be relying upon it and looking at it in your garden probably for the next 10-15 years. This comprehensive Bicycle Storage Guide will hopefully help you make the right choice and avoid any long-lasting disappointments. 

Metal Bicycle Sheds

Asgard Access E Plus Bike Storage

If you own or are thinking of investing in an expensive ‘electric’ bike, inevitably security for your investment will be at the forefront of your mind. The Asgard bike shed is a bike storage shed that will protect your investment. There is certainly a need to securely protect your investment from opportunist thieves and the elements.

In a choice of 3 colours and with a 10-year warranty, this is where the E Plus Bike Store comes in. A spacious bike storage solution for today’s e-bikes and provides security for your investment under a secure lock and key. The E-Plus is constructed completely of heavy-duty galvanised steel, including the floor. However, the E-Plus unit can also be bolted down with bolts (supplied) for incredible security. 

The internal dimensions of the bike shed are spacious; a 7ft 3in (w) - (2.230m) x 3ft (d) - (.910m) x 4ft 4in (h) - 1.320m) at the rear and 3ft 8in (h) - (1.120m) at the front. This E-plus has the ability to store between 2-4 E-bikes (dependant on size). 

The front of the storage shed provides easy access to bikes via heavy duty double doors, which open up to a large 5ft 2in - (1.6m). In addition, on either side of the access is a mounting plate, designed to allow you to mount electric sockets (not supplied) for battery charging. As an added bonus, the E-Plus is also totally ventilated, allowing airflow inside the unit thus reducing condensation. 

You will also find a useful reinforced ‘easy-lift’ top-opening (gas lift) all secured with heavy-duty locking shrouds and a door deadbolt. This provides excellent access, but incredible bike security. Additionally, there is E-Plus bike shed accessory packs, such as hooks and shelves (not supplied) that can be also added to the E-Pus Bike Store to give even more flexibility for the storage of bike paraphernalia. 

Of course, any type of bicycle can be stored in the E-Pus, not just electric bikes. The E-plus would make a great secure addition to any garden or yard to provide peace of mind with regards to your families bike security. 

The biggest drawback for the bike shed is, and it would seem all Asgard bike storage units are delivery lead times, due they say to high demand. Asgard is currently quoting* early January 2022 for new orders, or around 16 weeks from the time you place your order, as each is made to order. However, it is worth the wait for a super-secure Asgard Bike Shed.

Pros:

• Incredible Security
• 10 Year Warranty
• Heavy Duty Galvanised Steel
• 3 Bikes*
• Twin Locking System
• Lift Up Lid
• Choice of Colours
• Self Assemble

Cons

• Very long lead time*. 

*Asgard lead time is flexible depending upon high demand and the current climate, eg Covid-19 and Brexit. Our average lead time is usually between 4-12 weeks depending upon seasonal peaks. For the latest delivery times please click here. 

Asgard Outdoor Double Bike Storage

Want somewhere to store your bike? Need a unit that is suitable for a large home? Flat? Or eleven the office? A unit for when you need to store two bikes, securely, and discreetly and where space may be at a premium. This Asgard outdoor double (2) bike storage unit could be the flexibility you are looking for. This small maintenance-free, compact double bike store is ideal for circumstances where space is restricted, but bike security is essential. 

With a 10 year Asgard warranty, and in a choice of 3 colours, constructed from strong rust-resistant galvanised steel this double bike store is fitted with the same ‘pick and drill’ ultra-tough 3-point locking system Asgard are renowned for. With internal dimensions of 5ft 11in (d) - (1.8m) x 2ft 10in (w) - (.840m) x 3ft 11in (h) - (1.170m) the double bike shed has a spacious door clearance of 2ft 9in (850mm). It should be noted that the door handle can be changed for the user. Please state your preference left or right-handed when placing an order. 

Unlike the E-Bike store though, the double bike store does not have an integral metal floor and the unit should be bolted (bolts supplied) directly to the concrete (recommended) base. Another outstanding feature of this unit is that multiple units can be integrally bolted together to form a bike store of any size, suitable for the space and requirements needed at the office or family home thus providing additional security and flexibility. Finally, each unit is shipped with an interior ‘hook set’ for handing bicycle helmets and accessories. 

Pros:

• Incredible Security
• Spacious
• 10 Year Warranty
• 3-point Locking System
• Rust Resistant Steel
• Maintenance Free
• Flexibility
• Interior Hook Sets

Cons

• Lack of flooring
• Concrete Base Required
• Long lead/delivery time*. 

*Asgard lead time is flexible depending upon high demand and the current climate, eg Covid-19 and Brexit. Our average lead time is usually between 4-12 weeks depending upon seasonal peaks. For the latest delivery times please click here. 

Asgard Double Ended Bike Storage

If you want two separate bikes stored independently in one unit, say with a neighbour or friend then the Asgard Double Ended bike Store could fit the bill. With both space-saving and security in mind, the double-ended bike store actually opens at either end, thus creating 2 independent secure lockable bike units. Designed so unit width and bike storage access, unlike other bike sheds, is minimised. Both Access doors lock independently of each other with a featured secure 3-point pick and drill resistant lock, together with a deadbolt system. 

The unit does not have a floor but is rather bolted (bolts supplied) directly to concrete. Due to its design and secure bike independence, the Double Ended Bike Store lends itself as the ideal candidate for a secure bike storage option for those independents wanting to share secure storage. Designed with a tough internal steel division and internal locking points ensure that two bikes can be secured totally independently of each other inside the same unit. For instance, sharing with a friend or neighbour in the same flat or apartment block, house or rental property where space limitations are imposed and bike security is required, a real possibility. 

The unit design does allow for multiple units to be ‘bolted’ together and thus expanding the unit’s capabilities into offices and caravan parks for multiple bike storage. Maintenance-free, the bike storage unit is constructed of tough galvanised weatherproof steel. Measuring just 6ft 3in (d) - (1.9m) x 2ft 11in (w) - (.900mm) x 3ft 11in (h) - (1.205mm) externally, with a door clearance of just 2ft 9in (.850mm) each side, the Double Ended Bike Store fits into just about anywhere, making it suitable for use in both private and larger public areas. 

As with most Asgard units, the Double Ended Bike Storage Units carry a 10-year warranty and are available in 3 colours (graphite, green and ivory). Added bonuses that come standard inside the unit include ‘cycle kit’ hooks where you can hang cycle helmets and other riding paraphernalia. 

Pros:

• Incredible Security
• Spacious
• 10 Year Warranty
• 3-point Locking System
• Rust Resistant Steel
• Maintenance Free
• Flexibility
• Interior Hook Sets

Cons

• Lack of flooring
• Concrete Base Required

Conclusion

If security is your primary concern, when deciding on suitable bike storage solutions, especially if you have valuable bicycles and equipment, then a metal storage solution should be your primary consideration.
