Outside bike storage
Discussion
I am looking to store a bike or two outside. There's not much space to store the bikes and it's looking like I might have to store the bikes vertically, hanging from a wall of the house, as the available space is about the size of a dinning table. I am looking to protect the (cheap) bikes from the elements/rust and am open to suggestions.
Currently thinking of some DIY shed arrangement with tarpaulin/felt roof and maybe some small blower fans to keep an airflow through it.

Will you need to secure them or are you somewhere rural?Currently thinking of some DIY shed arrangement with tarpaulin/felt roof and maybe some small blower fans to keep an airflow through it.

Mounted on the front of a house in Windsor, no-one ever even noticed it and whilst not an expensive bike, it felt secure and you could lock to teh top bracket and the bottom one
