Any recommendations on a good shed for two adult bikers plus a bit of space for spares etc?
I think 6x3ft should be an ok size for our garden.. But ideally somewhere where they will deliver before the weekend

I purchased one of these 2 years ago & have been very pleased with it.

Get a 6x4 IMO - gives you that little bit more room, and is a much more common size, so in theroy will be cheaper!

I agree 6x4. Bear in mind though that you may not be covered on your house insurance for bikes kept in a wooden shed.

Don't get a steel shed, the condensate like mad inside.
I have resorted to an industrial dehumidifier to keep the moisture at bay.

Leave some budget for a large chain and a ground anchor, and dont forget to anchor it to something solid, not just the fabric of th shed itself.

On the security front, i put hinge bolts in too. I have heard of thieves just unscrewing the hinges which are external on a shed. with the bolts the door still wont come off.
You wont stop a determined thief but the longer you make them work the more likey they will give up.
