Tips for Selecting the Best Bicycle Storage Shed

To help you make your mind up, it can be worth making a list of what you want from a cycle shed. For example, do you want something that is permanent or something that is portable, which you can use if you go away. There are several other things to consider before making your mind up. The following may be able to help you make your decision more easily.

Size

Bicycle storage sheds come in different sizes. Normally, they will be able to hold more than one bicycle, with the largest ones holding several. Also, some of them you can walk into while others may be only high enough for your bicycle.
There are two things to consider here; firstly, how much space will you wish the storage shed to take up, or to put it another way, how much space can you spare for one. Secondly, how many bicycles are you intending to store in the bicycle storage shed.

Easy to Assemble

You may wish to consider how easy it is to assemble. If you’re looking for a permanent storage shed, it is worth looking at whether you have to put it together yourself or whether you can have one that comes ready-made.
If you are looking to buy one that is portable, such as for camping trips, then it is worth considering how easy it is to put together. The likelihood is that you want something that is only gets take matter of minutes, and not ours, and something that is not too fiddly or intricate. It may also be worth considering how easy it is to disassemble it.

Security

Whether you are intending to buy a permanent or portable bicycle storage shed, it can be worth considering any security features that it has, such as whether it has a lock, or whether it can have a lock attached or whether it can be padlocked.

Durability and Warranty

Like most products you buy, the chances are you will want it to be reasonably durable. Whatever your reasons for wanting a bicycle storage, it can be worth considering what materials it is made out of; is it strong, will it hold up to the weather, is it sturdy? Even if it does appear to be incredibly durable, it is also worth bearing in mind whether or not it has a warranty and what this involves.

Applications

Of course, the location will be the storage of a bicycle. However you may wish to consider all the applications of the storage shed: such as, how it bicycles it can hold also what variety of bicycles it can be used with, including possibly mopeds or motorbikes. If you’re looking for something to store at home the new may wish to consider whether or not it can store anything else, such as anything you might using the garden, or basically any way of making use of the space

Ease of Use

As well as potentially how easy it may be to construct, it can be worth considering how easy it might be to use in other ways. For example, how easy is it to actually store a bicycle in it and, furthermore, how easy it is to then get bicycle out, or indeed anything else that you may be using it for. It could also be worth seeing just how easy it is to open and close the item.

Value for Money

Based on these categories, and how well the storage shed performs in each one, it is then worth comparing these results against how much it costs. This can be crucial when it comes to making your mind up. Price is one thing on its own, but value for money takes into consideration so much more and gives an indication of just how good a price it actually is.
The cheaper portable bicycle storage sheds can be available for around $125, whereas more expensive permanent installations can go for more than $2000. So when you take this into account, combined with what the product offers, you can get good idea about value for money.
