Comments as per Morningsider's - good quality, robust and east to put together. To get the shackles aligned properly was a bit tricky, I think it was down to having a good level base. I used some old 3x2 slabs I had handy and maybe didn't get it quite right at first. I really wanted to avoid pouring a concrete slab for it.</p> <p>The four bikes thing is a bit optimistic. We have three and a small kid's bike in ours and that's a squeeze.</p> <p>It has the advantage of the rising roof but suspect it is a bit less secure as a result. Mine has been broken into once. There's a minor design flaw in that part of the shackle is just accessible and easier to cut than a the lock itself. On the website, Morningsider's has a 'Polis Approved' endorsement and mine doesn't, which confirms my suspicions. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20793#post-357057 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 12:31:04 +0000 Morningsider 357057@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've had an <a href="https://www.asgardsss.co.uk/bike-storage-x3-police-approved">Asgard Annexe</a> for almost a year, which I would recommend. Very robust, nicely made and not too tricky to put together. It can fit three bikes, but it's a bit of a squeeze. Kind of pricey though, seems to be a couple of hundred quid more expensive than when I bought it. </p> <p>It took a while to come after ordering, which I suspect would apply to most new bike sheds - worth checking this with the supplier before ordering, if you need something quickly. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20793#post-357056 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 12:29:58 +0000 neddie 357056@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just use an ordinary wooden shed of suitable dimensions, with double wooden doors, then...</p> <p>...inside that shed you need to put a concreted-in ground anchor, or a concreted-in Sheffield rack to lock to.</p> <p>This is our set up, with the Sheffield rack.</p> <p>You can't rely on the actual shed being secure, no matter what type / material it is. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20793#post-357054 Tue, 23 Nov 2021 12:11:21 +0000 Colin 357054@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can anyone advise on front garden storage options for bikes please? I’m looking at storing three “town bikes” in a secure and weatherproof box in a front garden. </p> <p>Many thanks.<br /> Cheers<br /> Colin </p>
