I am looking for storage solutions for the bike fleet. I’ve got 3 bikes myself plus 2 for the family.
These currently live in the garage instead of my car.
One option is to repurpose our utility room for bikes and tools. It would be tight but mounted vertically against the wall could work.
The other option is secure storage in the garden. I was always assuming just a timber shed but have just come across Asgard metal storage sheds. They seem to be well reviewed.
Wondering if anyone had any experience with them?
Would a steel shed not be bad for condensation?

Thanks in advance

I have a Keter plastic shed, zero maintenance other than the odd wash.

I've an Asgard shed. Fantastic bit of kit. Really well built and no issues with condensation due to how it's vented.

I bought one and was impressed enough to buy another.

Almost every house in any vaguely well to do london street has one of these.

The good thing is that because there are so many of them, they don't get broken into!

I live in flats, and my neighbour has installed one at the end of our drive for their bikes, it looks solid. If I ever needed to keep bikes outside, it would 100% be one of these.

We have two, one is over ten years old and the second was purchased 2018 and both look the same condition and are worth every single penny and ultra strong

Proper equipment

After my shed was broken into I purchased as Asgard bike shed and it still looks as good today as it did when I bought it 9 years ago, no problem at all with condensation either.

I have one and its great for the bikes and I'm pretty confident in it.
One small issue is my good road bike that hasn't been used since September has slighty furry handlebars now. It is crammed into a corner surrounded on 3 sides though so that might not help the ventilation.

I wonder if this is more sweat related as I've had this occasionally even on a bike that was stored in a totally dry shed!
