We need to try and get the bikes etc out of the house and into a shed. Wife has had enough and put her foot down.

From a quick look, there appears to be only one outfit (Duramax). Anyone got any recommendations on where to go for something that would take a mountain bike, some other smaller kids bikes and the like?

Cheers

I've got a metal shed made by Dependable Steel (local company). Big enough to fit a few motorbikes in and the rest of the st I have laying around. Does the job well however a bit sweaty inside during summer!

I bought it off the previous tenant, but they paid about AED4k with a concrete base. I'm sure they will do smaller ones.

EDIT: Here's a pic:

Thanks! I will give them a call. Bit bigger than what we need for the carport (AR management likely would kick off!) but given that people are now using old wardrobes, shelving and other tat to store stuff in the carports around Alma, a shed would be a step up!

I have one of the sheds that are sold in Carrefour (they do different sizes). It has survived 2 moves and although dust proof they are water proof.

The same company who install the shed will come for a very reasonable amount come and strip down, move and re-assemble.

Hi - I may have found one but C/F person was of no help. Do you happen to have a contact number? Cheers

Just to loop this one closed.

Contacted Duramax and they went and dismantled, transported and reassembled for us.

Superquick and efficient.

Thanks Ian for the tip on that. Cheers
