Bike Sheds

Materials for Bike Sheds

When it comes to keeping your mountain bikes secure and safe from harm, a bike shed is the tidy way to keep you and your family’s bikes under wraps and free up space in your home & garden!

Wooden bike sheds are a classic choice for storing your bikes, and we have plenty of choice to suit your space. From sturdy pent sheds with double doors for space-saving storage, to classic apex sheds for some extra headroom, you can keep your outdoor space tidy and safe.

Metal sheds are very hardy and require even less maintenance than wood, so they’re a reliable choice for storing your cycling equipment – or anything else, for that matter!

Benefits of Buying a Bike Storage Shed

Protection

Keep your cycling equipment safe from the elements by keeping them in a bike storage shed. Our sheds are naturally weatherproof and are the safest bet to avoid rusting of metal parts, as well as keeping them safe from dirt, dust, and animals!

Security

All our bike sheds are built to be durable and come with strong latch mechanisms to keep your bikes out of sight. For extra security, it’s easy to fit a padlock for peace of mind.

Keeps things tidy

By having a dedicated storage shed for your bikes, you’ll keep your home and garden free from clutter, and won’t be tripping over bikes next time you’re in your potting shed!

Encourages cycling!

Keeping your bikes together in outdoor bike storage means they’re easily accessible and will encourage use, perfect for getting the family out on the bikes for some fresh air.

FAQs

What size bike shed do I need?

With such an array of sizes to choose from, it’s easy to find your perfect fit on wilko.com – the size of bike shed you go for depends on the size and number of bikes you have. Make sure there’s enough height clearance for easy storage, and take a measurement of all your bikes stacked together. The last thing you want is to be playing bicycle tetris every time you’re using your bike shed, as you could risk damaging the bikes or the shed. Apex sheds will naturally give you more headroom which is good for full-size bikes.

Can bike sheds be secured?

All our metal and wooden bike sheds can be further secured with padlocks for peace of mind.

Can bike sheds be used for other storage purposes?

Absolutely! You don’t have to store bikes in a bike shed – due to their size and security, these are good places to store garden tools, lawn mowers, grass trimmers, and anything else which requires easy access.

How long does a bike shed need to be?

The size of your bike shed depends on the number and size of your bike. Aim for a length that accommodates the longest bike and a width that comfortably fits 3 to 4 bikes.

How to organise a bike shed?

For a budget-friendly and convenient solution, consider hanging bikes in the shed. You can install hooks into the ceiling or walls, ensuring they're strong enough to support the bikes' weight.
