6'4 x 2'9 Trimetals Metal Bike Shed - Anthracite (1.95m x 0.88m)

How many bikes does the Trimetals Metal Bike Shed hold?

This shed is designed to store up to 3 adult bicycles. The internal width is 1800mm and the internal depth is 840mm, giving enough room to fit three standard adult bikes side by side. If you need to store children's bikes or smaller items alongside, there may be additional space depending on bike size. For larger collections, Trimetals offer bigger models.

Is the Trimetals Metal Bike Shed weatherproof?

Yes. The shed is constructed from PVC-coated galvanised steel panels, which makes it fully weatherproof. The galvanised steel core resists rust completely and the PVC coating adds an extra layer of protection against rain, wind and UV exposure. It is also fire-retardant. This means it will perform well year-round in the UK climate without any treatment or maintenance required.

Does the bike shed come with a padlock?

No, padlocks are not included. The shed comes with two padlock points as standard. Trimetals recommend purchasing two padlocks to secure the unit properly. You can buy a solid brass Padlock Set (£34.99) as an optional extra these feature a hardened steel shackle and come with two keys and a five-year guarantee. A Hasp and Padlock Pair (£69.99) is also available for even greater security, securing the front door to the base.

How difficult is it to assemble?

Assembly is described as very easy. All major components arrive factory assembled, so you're not starting from scratch. Clear step-by-step instructions are included in the box. The fixings needed to bolt the base to concrete are also included. Most customers should be able to complete the assembly without professional help, though having a second person to assist with lifting the lid is advisable.

What is the guarantee on this bike shed?

The Trimetals Metal Bike Shed comes with a 25-year panel guarantee. This is one of the longest guarantees available on any metal bike shed in the UK market and reflects the quality of the PVC-coated galvanised steel construction. The optional Padlock Set accessory carries its own separate five-year guarantee. Always retain your proof of purchase in case you need to make a claim.

Can I bolt the shed to the ground for extra security?

Yes. Fixings are included specifically to bolt the unit to a wider concrete base. This is recommended for added security, as it prevents the shed from being lifted or moved. The base frame sits 3 inches (7.5cm) above ground level. If you want to raise the floor level inside the shed, an optional 12mm exterior grade plywood floor (£89.99) is available and simply sits on the base frame.

Does this bike shed need any maintenance?

No maintenance is required at all. The PVC-coated galvanised steel construction means you will never need to paint, treat, sand or seal this shed. It will not rust, rot or warp. This makes it a practical long-term storage solution that saves both time and money over the years compared to wooden alternatives that require regular treatment to stay in good condition.

Can the Trimetals Metal Bike Shed be used for general garden storage?

Yes. While it is designed primarily as a bike store, the build quality and size make it suitable for storing all manner of garden equipment. Lawnmowers, garden tools, pots and other outdoor items can all be kept inside. The spring-assisted fully opening lid makes it easy to access larger items. Optional plywood flooring can be added to raise contents off the ground, which is useful for storing items that should not sit directly on a base frame.
