Bike storage for a small garden with a convenient alcove.
Discussion
So my old man has downsized. He’s swapped a garage and a drive with a practical garden for a little rectangle of pavers and side alley access. Needs must: Perfect for a single old codger but not ideal for his expensive bikes. He has a roady he uses most times, and a mountain bike he plays with in the summer.
There’s a small alcove behind the kitchen extension, hidden away from prying eyes and keeping things out of sight.
The floor space is 1500mm x 2600mm
Brick extension on the left side of the 2600 and wooden 6ft fence on the right side of the 2600.
Ive looked at a quick search for him, but everything that seems to fit correctly costs a substantial amount he’s not willing to part with, such as an Asgard unit etc.
The issue with the space, is a lot of the wooden lockable storage options are length-ways opening. The doors won’t open in the space and allow for room to place anything inside. There is literally nothing that I have seen that is “through loading” to allow it to feed in via the 1500mm ‘front’
There are cheap tent options, but none of them seem to be fully enclosing. A lot of them are pop up tents with an exposed floor, many of them requiring securing into the ground, which is not an option.
Would/could anyone recommend anything they may have used, or have experience with that may fit such a space? I’ve mentioned a full fat shed, but he’s declined.
Preference in something sturdy with the option to padlock, but a basic “tent” option that fits the bill and protects the contents from all things creepy crawly and the elements would equally be acceptable.
Picture attached (before clearing it out) for reference
It’s worth noting, this garden is only accessible through a shared alleyway, 800mm wide at best, so it can’t be pre-assembled!
Many thanks!
