Bicycle Sheds – Secure Cycle Storage for Every Garden

Whether you need a compact bike locker for one cycle or a full-size bicycle shed for the whole family, our selection covers steel, timber and plastic units to suit every garden and budget.

Keeping your bikes outside without proper protection leads to rust, theft and deterioration. A purpose-built bicycle shed solves all three. Our range includes metal bike stores, wooden cycle sheds, lockable bike lockers and free-standing bike shelters from brands including Asgard, Trimetals, Biohort and Palram.

What size do you need? Single bike lockers store one cycle in a compact footprint — ideal for flats and terraced houses with limited outdoor space. Family-size bicycle sheds hold four, six or even eight bikes with room for helmets, locks and accessories. Wall-mounted bike storage brackets work where floor space is at a premium.

What should you look for in a bicycle shed?

Security is the first consideration. Look for sheds with integral locking points, reinforced steel panels and anchor kits for ground fixing. Asgard cycle stores, for example, use 1.5mm thick steel construction with three-point locking mechanisms. That's the standard worth matching.

Next, consider weatherproofing. Galvanised steel panels resist rust for decades. Pressure-treated timber sheds offer a traditional look with good longevity when maintained annually. Polycarbonate and resin units require the least upkeep — no painting, no treating.

• Steel bicycle sheds – Heavy-gauge galvanised steel construction with anchor points and multi-point locking. Suitable for driveways, side passages and rear gardens.
• Wooden cycle storage – Pressure-treated timber units that blend into garden settings. Typically require an annual wood treatment to maintain weatherproofing.
• Plastic and resin bike stores – Lightweight, maintenance-free units. Good UV resistance and no rust — popular for low-effort storage.
• Bike lockers – Individual locking pods for one or two cycles. Widely used in communal areas, car parks and workplaces as well as home gardens.
• Cycle shelters – Open-fronted or semi-enclosed canopy structures for schools, offices and housing developments. Accommodate multiple bikes side by side.
• Wall-mounted bike storage – Vertical and horizontal hooks, pulley systems and folding brackets that make use of garage or shed wall space.

Popular types of bicycle shed

Asgard cycle stores are consistently well-reviewed for security. Their Access range features a gas-strut-assisted lid, a built-in floor anchor point and a weatherproof seal around the opening — a practical design that protects against both theft and the elements. Trimetals Protect-a-Cycle units offer similar steel construction at a range of capacities.

For a garden that needs to look good as well as function well, a timber bike shed from Rowlinson or Forest Garden gives a more traditional appearance. These units typically come with an apex or pent roof, double doors and a floor frame. Felt roof covering is standard — some models include tongue-and-groove boarding for a tighter finish.

Palram and Keter produce polycarbonate and resin bike stores that need no maintenance beyond the occasional wash down. Keter's Factor range, for instance, uses a double-walled resin construction that insulates the interior and resists impact without rusting or warping over time.

Bicycle shed installation — what to know

Most bicycle sheds arrive flat-packed and can be assembled by two people in two to four hours. A concrete or paving slab base is recommended for steel and timber units to prevent floor rot and provide a stable anchor point. Resin units can often sit on compacted gravel. Ground anchors — bolted through the shed floor into a concrete base — significantly increase resistance to forced entry.

Planning permission is not typically required for a bicycle shed in a rear garden, provided it covers less than half the total garden area and sits below 2.5 metres in height. Always check with your local planning authority if you're installing near a boundary or in a listed building area.
