Professional bike storage assembly - sheds, wall racks, and floor standing systems. Weathertight, secure, and positioned for easy access to your bikes.
Keep Your Bikes Safe & Dry
Bikes are expensive, and Devon weather is brutal. Leaving them outside under a tarp isn't great for their condition or your peace of mind. Proper bike storage keeps them dry, secure, and easy to grab when you want to ride.
⚠️ Security matters. A bike shed without ground anchoring can be lifted and stolen whole. I bolt everything down properly.
Why Proper Installation Matters
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Common Problems |
|---|---|
| Anchored solid to ground | Can be lifted by thieves |
| Panels properly aligned | Doors don't close, water gets in |
| Weatherproofing sealed | Rust and damp damage bikes |
| Lock mechanism smooth | Stiff locks get forced |
I've seen bike sheds stolen whole because they weren't anchored. Don't let yours be one of them.

🔧 DIY Tips
Fancy tackling it yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Socket set and spanners
- Cordless drill with masonry bits
- Spirit level
- Rubber mallet
- Ground anchor kit (often sold separately)
📐 Key steps
- Prepare base first - must be level
- Follow panel sequence exactly (metal sheds are fussy)
- Don't fully tighten bolts until all panels in place
- Align doors before final tightening
- Install ground anchors last
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Not anchoring to ground (biggest issue)
- Wrong panel sequence (won't fit together)
- Over-tightening and stripping threads
- Forgetting weatherproofing strips
💡 Pro trick: Metal bike shed panels have a specific assembly order. Get one wrong and nothing fits. Lay out all panels first and identify each one before starting. The manual really does need following on these.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🔒 Check your base - Bike sheds need solid, level ground. Concrete or paving is ideal. Lawn needs a timber or concrete base first.
Security essentials:
- Ground anchor inside for chaining bikes
- Quality D-lock or chain lock
- Insurance - check policy covers outbuildings
Base options:
- Existing concrete/paving (ideal)
- Timber frame on grass (budget)
- Concrete pad (most solid)
- Compressed gravel (decent middle ground)
Maintenance:
- Oil hinges and locks annually
- Check ground anchors haven't loosened
- Touch up rust spots on metal sheds
Frequently Asked Questions
Do bike storage sheds need to be anchored?
Strongly recommended. A metal bike shed without ground anchors can be lifted or pried open relatively easily. I'll bolt it to concrete, or use ground anchors into paving or tarmac. Much harder to break into when it can't be physically moved.
Can you fit wall-mounted bike racks in my garage?
Yes - wall racks are brilliant for saving floor space. I'll find the studs or use proper masonry fixings. Positioning matters too - height clearance, easy access, and not in the way of car doors.
What's the best location for a bike shed?
Somewhere accessible but not too visible from the road. Level ground is important, and consider leaving clearance for maintenance. If it's going on lawn, I can advise on base options.
Can you install a bike anchor point too?
Absolutely - worth doing at the same time. A ground or wall anchor gives you something solid to chain bikes to inside the shed. Combined with a good lock, it's a proper security setup.
