I'm going the self-build route, with security as a major element of the design - double skinned, hidden hinges, liberal use of builders' straps.
Materials alone are starting to cost a fortune...

I would go self build next time round but I bought OTP for a first go. It was about £500 for a "secure" shed with tongue and groove cladding instead of shiplap, pressure treated timber throughout, solid wood floor and roof instead of chip board, extra floor bearers to raise it off the concrete (I put damp proof course between the floor bearers and the floor). The concrete base was more expensive than the shed.
For security I have two u-hasps and disc padlocks. I used at least double the number of screws it came with to put it all together and I epoxied all the visible hinge screw heads.
Ultimately, you could still smash your way in but my idea was just to make that as much of a pain as possible. It's in a very visible position so I think that helps deterring any chancers.

I’d like a shed shed,rather than just just bike storage...maybe a workshop thing. Possibly the full length of my back fence to discourage climbers.
