So carry on reading and you can have the perfect answer to your bike storage problems.

Metal Bike Storage Options

Possibly the safest and strongest storage solution you could purchase. No thief is going to pick a fight with a metal bike store as we all know who would come out as the winner, and it's safe to say that your bike would be in the exact same place as it was originally stored in.

Asgard

Now let's get down to the important features that these bike stores and lockers possess that make them perfect for any garden. As previously stated, these stores and lockers will not only put up a fight with their thick galvanized steel wall panels (along with a metal floor base) but will protect your bikes from all weather conditions, so they are ideal for the unpredictable weather here in the UK. As well as being weatherproof, metal stores can come fully fire-resistant. What more could you possibly need to protect your bikes... Oh, that's right a three-point secure locking mechanism system allowing these reliable Asgard bike store and bike lockers to keep your bikes more secure than ever!

Trimetals

We know you want your bikes easily packed away and hidden from prying eyes, that's why Trimetals could be your solution. They have been manufacturing their bike stores along with many other products for many many years and their expertise is unrivalled. So you can be sure that they have the most effective security measures built into their design, like the heavy-duty ground anchor with an internal chain, so that's basically double the protection, as not only will you be locking the door but also securing your bike inside...to the ground! These bike stores certainly have one proud feature to show off... that they adhere to police preferred specifications (how fancy!). And here's the reason for it...extraordinary workmanship, which really pays off when coming complete with PVC rust coated and galvanized steel panels, you can't go wrong with a bike store with such high specifications.

Wooden Bike Store Options

They might not be as strong as the metal bike stores but they look much more traditional! A sleek wooden design fits perfectly into any garden due to the natural timber appearance. However, one thing that's important is to keep them out of thieving eyes, so you need to keep your eyes out as well, for any of those unwanted visitors.

Forest

Now I know what you're thinking, they may not be as secure, but that doesn't mean safety measures haven't been put into place! Take these two perfect examples of how your bikes can be just as safe, for one it has hidden door hinges so you don't need to worry about thieves trying to unscrew them because it won't be possible. Not only are the hinges hidden but there is a plate hasp and staple closure to use alongside a padlock, now you can always squeeze another padlock on there just to be safe but that's just down to personal preference. Also, if you're worried about the wood getting damp and not fulfilling its purpose well don't worry, they're made from treated timber with a minimum of a 10-year guarantee against rot.
