6'4 x 2'9 Trimetals Ramped Metal Bike Shed - Anthracite (1.96m x 0.89m)

UK-Built, RHS Endorsed, 25-Year Guaranteed Bike Storage

From: Trimetals

The Trimetals SHS24811 (SKU 3132900) is a 6'4 x 2'9 anthracite metal bike shed built to store up to 3 adult bicycles. It comes with a built-in aluminium ramp for easy access and a spring-assisted fully opening lid that gives you proper walk-in access. It's recommended by the UK's cycling press and is the only metal shed endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society.

Built in the UK from PVC-coated galvanised steel panels, this shed is weatherproof, fire-retardant and completely rust-resistant. The base can be bolted to a concrete pad using the included fixings for extra security. Two padlock points come as standard. It's entirely maintenance-free.

The one-piece aluminium ramp uses reinforced metal hinges and will support the weight of a cyclist plus a heavy electric bike. When not in use it folds back to form part of the base. 25-year panel guarantee gives real long-term peace of mind. All major components arrive factory assembled with clear step-by-step instructions included.

With a 25-year panel guarantee, RHS endorsement and UK construction, this is a serious bike storage solution. Available in 3 colours with or without the ramp. Optional padlock sets and plywood flooring available as extras.

Product Features

25-Year Panel Guarantee - Very few metal garden buildings carry a guarantee this long. Trimetals back these panels for 25 years against rust and structural failure. That level of confidence in the product is rare and means you're buying something built to last well beyond most alternatives on the market. Spring-Assisted Opening Lid - The roof opens fully with spring assistance, giving you proper walk-in access rather than a small door you have to crouch through. This makes loading and unloading bikes far easier, especially with larger or heavier bikes like e-bikes. It's a practical design feature that makes daily use much less frustrating. Built-In Aluminium Ramp - The one-piece aluminium ramp with reinforced metal hinges drops into place when needed and folds back to form part of the base when not in use. It supports the full weight of a cyclist and their bike. Stored behind the door, it can't be accessed or tampered with from outside.

PVC-Coated Galvanised Steel Construction - Made in the UK from galvanised steel with a PVC coating, these panels are weatherproof, fire-retardant and rust-resistant. There's no painting or treating required at any point. The dual-layer protection means the shed holds up in all UK weather conditions without any ongoing maintenance from you. Two Padlock Points and Bolt-Down Fixings - Security is built in from the start. Two padlock points come as standard and the base includes fixings to bolt the unit directly to a concrete pad. The ramp can also be padlocked to the door. This combination of features makes it significantly harder to break into or remove than a standard bike shed. RHS and Cycling Press Endorsed - This is the only metal shed or store endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society. It's also recommended by the UK's cycling press. These endorsements aren't handed out lightly and reflect the quality of the build, the design and the long-term performance of the product in real-world conditions.

FAQs

How many bikes does the Trimetals SHS24811 hold?

This shed is designed to store up to 3 adult bicycles. The internal width is 1800mm and the internal depth is 840mm, which gives enough room to stand bikes side by side. It can also be used for general garden storage if you don't need all the bike space, making it a flexible outdoor storage solution.

What is the 25-year panel guarantee and what does it cover?

Trimetals offers a 25-year panel guarantee on this bike shed. This covers the PVC-coated galvanised steel panels against rust and structural failure. It's one of the longest guarantees available on any metal garden storage product in the UK and reflects the quality of the materials and construction. This is a significant selling point if you're comparing it against cheaper alternatives with shorter or no guarantees.

Is the ramp strong enough for an electric bike?

Yes. The ramp is built from a single-piece aluminium plate with reinforced metal hinges and is specifically designed to support the combined weight of a cyclist and their bicycle, including heavier electric bikes. When not in use, the ramp folds back into position and forms part of the metal base. It is stored behind the shed door so it cannot be tampered with from outside.

How secure is this bike shed?

The shed comes with two padlock points as standard, though padlocks are not included. You can purchase a quality padlock set separately for £34.99, which includes solid brass padlocks with hardened steel shackles and two keys per lock. The base can also be bolted directly to a concrete pad using the fixings provided, which significantly reduces the risk of the unit being lifted or moved. The ramp itself can also be padlocked to the door.

Does it need any maintenance?

No. The Trimetals SHS24811 is completely maintenance-free. The PVC-coated galvanised steel construction means there is no painting, treating or sealing required at any point. The galvanised steel resists rust and the PVC coating protects against weathering. This is a major advantage over timber bike sheds which require regular treatment to stay in good condition.

How difficult is it to assemble?

Trimetals describe this as very easy to assemble. All major components arrive factory pre-assembled, which reduces the number of steps needed on site. Clear step-by-step instructions are included in the box. If you'd prefer not to assemble it yourself, an installation service is available through the website. Call 0333 003 0518 for details on installation options.

What are the exact dimensions of this shed?

The overall external size is approximately 1960mm wide x 890mm deep. The height at the front is 1090mm and at the back is 1290mm, with a door height of 2070mm when the lid is open. Internal width is 1800mm and internal depth is 840mm. The imperial equivalent is approximately 6'4 x 2'9. These dimensions make it a compact but practical unit that fits against a fence or wall without taking up too much garden space.

What colours and configurations is this shed available in?

The Trimetals SHS24811 is available in 3 colours. This particular SKU (3132900) is the anthracite version. The shed is also available with or without the integral ramp, so if you don't need the ramp you can choose the version without it. Optional extras include plywood flooring, a hasp and padlock set and additional padlocks. Interest-free finance over 12 months is also available if needed.
