Outdoor bike storage

[Ruttager]

Well my test is looming and my new bike gets delivered this weekend so I'm looking for storage optons. I have no garage so the bike will remain in the back garden when its not in use. I've found a few Bike Barn things that look like they will do the job, I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience good or bad on them.

I'll need to be able to store the bike whilst its hot.

Once read in a mag that those bike bike barns are pretty good. Can't you put a shed up in your garden?

[Ruttager]

nah, I rent at the moment so I can't build a shed. The barn thing does seem to cover what I need though. I'm still looking around for other options as well.

Not really a deterant to thieves though is it?
Are you using the bike to commute or just a toy? as asking a mate to keep it in his garage for a small fee could be an idea.


Or is the big Fk off rottweiller and Ark Royal anchor chain the deterant?

[Ruttager]

Hopefully the landlord will let me remove a great big bush thing in the garden which will let me position the thing near a wall. Then I can put an anchor in.

I'll be using the bike to commute so I'll need it close at hand. If I can't get it near the wall I was thinking of cutting back some turf, digging a large hole then dropping in a giant flowerpot full of cement down there for an anchor. Not as good as the house wall but better than nothing.
