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

How many bikes can the Trimetals Ramped Metal Bike Shed store?

This shed stores up to 3 adult bicycles. The internal width is 1800mm and the internal depth is 840mm, giving enough room to stand bikes side by side. It can also be used for general garden storage if you don't need the full bike capacity tools, lawnmowers and outdoor equipment all fit comfortably inside.

What is the shed made from and how durable is it?

The shed is constructed in the UK from PVC-coated galvanised steel panels. Galvanising means the steel is coated in zinc to prevent rust and the additional PVC coating adds a further layer of weather protection. The result is a shed that is completely resistant to rust, weatherproof, fire-retardant and entirely maintenance-free. You won't need to paint or treat it at any point.

What does the 25-year panel guarantee cover?

Trimetals provides a 25-year guarantee on the panels of this bike shed. This covers the structural integrity of the PVC-coated galvanised steel panels against defects and deterioration. It's one of the longest guarantees available on a metal garden building and reflects the quality of the materials and construction used. Always retain your proof of purchase to make use of the guarantee if needed.

How does the ramp work and is it secure?

The ramp is built from a single-piece aluminium plate with reinforced metal hinges. It simply drops into place when you need to wheel a bike in or out and then folds back to form part of the metal base. When stored, the ramp sits behind the shed door so it cannot be accessed or tampered with from outside. As an extra security measure it can also be padlocked to the door. The ramp is strong enough to support the weight of a cyclist and their bike including heavier electric bikes.

Does this shed come with a padlock?

Two padlock points come as standard but padlocks are not included. You can purchase the optional Padlock Set for £34.99 which includes two solid brass padlocks with hardened steel shackles and two keys each these come with their own five-year guarantee. For even greater security there is also a Hasp and Padlock Pair available for £69.99 which secures the front door to the base using stainless steel and brass construction. One or two sets can be fitted as required.

Is this shed easy to assemble?

Yes. All the major components arrive factory assembled which significantly reduces the work required on site. Clear step-by-step instructions are included. Fixings are also provided to bolt the base to a wider concrete surface. The spring-assisted lid and fold-down ramp are both designed to be straightforward to operate once assembled. Most buyers with basic DIY skills can complete the assembly without professional help.

Is there a floor included and can I add a wooden floor?

The shed comes with an integral steel floor as standard. The base frame sits approximately 3 inches (7.5cm) above the ground. If you want to raise the floor level or prefer a wooden surface underfoot, an optional Ramped Bikestore Wooden Floor is available for £89.99. This is a 12mm (1/2 inch) exterior grade plywood floor that simply sits on the base frame. It's useful if you want to keep the contents raised above ground level or prefer a softer surface.

What colours is this shed available in and can I get it without the ramp?

The Trimetals Ramped Metal Bike Shed is available in 3 colours. The SKU 3132100 is the cream version. It is available both with and without the integral ramp depending on your preference. If you don't need ramp access for example if you're using it purely for storage rather than wheeling bikes in the non-ramped version may suit you better.
