I’m looking to buy a storage shed, it’ll have to be narrow to fit the spot I’d like to put it.
I’ve seen sliding front wheel chocks (so the bike can be pushed in / out without me being in the container)
But....can’t seem to find them for sale, anybody know where I might get one?

I could be wrong, but won't the front wheel roll by itself...?

Is the container floor smooth? Wouldn't be too tricky to make a rolling dolly

I’ve got a rear paddock stand with wheels so you can wheel the bike around on it. Think it was from eBay. Secure-a-bike have trolleys that wheel in and out of the container. Might be worth contacting them?

Yep, but I’m looking at a container that is too narrow for me to be along side the bike.

Yep, this is what I’m trying to do, was hoping to pick something up “off the shelf” rather than fabricate myself

They come up used on eBay from time to time. Normally go for around £800.
