Bike shed/workshop + woodcarving projects

Do you mean this kind of thing Sam?

Is that your absolute maximum footprint pistaboy? Bear in mind that having the sliding doors would require far less room to open than the Asgard.

Can you build a shed? even if you had just one brick wall, you'd have a sturdy base for hanging bikes, tools and anything else from it. there's a thread on here where someone builds a sweet one, brick walls up to abtou three foot then double glazing or wood for the walls.

Yeah that sort of thing - to be honest with all of these thing I wouldn't trust the in built security - ground anchors all round for me.

Anyone seen in the flesh, or got one of these:

We're finally moving out of Pista Heights, and into Chateau Pista, and i need some storage..... This has the footprint that i could accomodate..... Anyone?

Yes.

My mate has one.

I don't know if it's the exact same brand, but it's a bike specific one.

It's pretty good, holds more than you'd think and looks fine. From memory the bolts are put together in ways that mean you can't just unscrew it.

Cheers Hugo7.

@barenecessities I have this footprint because of a previous build that was there, so i could potentially increase the foundation that's there, but with it being more of a small yard - as opposed to a garden of any size, the smaller the better.

Ok, if its sole purpose is to store bikes, then security takes priority over space. You can always have a small wooden shed to tinker about in.

"Don't want a shed" you say! Then get the hell out of my thread you unbeliever! ;-)

I love this thread.... i'm so jealous.

wow.

can only dream of something this amazing at the moment.

BN has a great shed.

Only just seen this, I've got one and definitely think it's worth the money. It's solid, secure and weather proof and I can get 4 bikes plus 4 pairs of wheels, a jet wash, a turbo, a tool box, two boxes of bits plus assorted other bits and bobs in it.

You're welcome to come and see it if you want, I'm in Beckenham, south east London.

Amazing shed and great progress photos BN! I could put a bed in there and be quite cozy.

Cheers pc! I imagine you'd feel quite at home sleeping in a pile of sawdust ;-)

I'm super jealous, I cant even get in my shed while my bikes are in there :(

Great work, I would be happy stood in the middle of it doing a Tim Allen style grunt session each Sunday afternoon.

Good move.

From the looks of it you would really benefit from working out some mechanism to hang all yOur bikes from the celling

I hang all my bikes, works great...

Very nice set up, well done

yes, I agree...

Thanks guys, more photos soon.

Shed envy/lust. Great work :)

Recently heard that my Dad has installed my electric sockets & lighting while I've been away. I'm now in the slightly odd position of waiting to see the latest update on the shed :-/

Heating & convenient power supply for this Winter = Awesome!

Time for some updates.

I now have lights & sockets installed, so a big thank you to my Dad for sorting that out. Next thing up is building the workbench. Somewhat ironically I've now purchased two workmates to build it on :-/

I also have a big pole ( insert own joke here ) from which to eventually hang my bikes from.

Nice, very clean. Lack of reinforcement on that door makes me cringe slightly- would it survive a couple of hard kicks?

The doors open outwards. If you kicked them, not only would you be forcing them against the frame, a step in the concrete base would prevent any inwards movement.

They look quite light, but they're actually more reinforced than the doors on most peoples houses.

Cool, I had a load of bikes stolen from my parents shed when I was a young'un, glad to hear your shed will be a tougher nut to crack.

Can't help worry about these things. Losing the bikes would piss me off, though I'd be more upset about any work being stolen/damaged/destroyed.

During the build, I would sit & think about how long it would take me to break in & what tools I would need. There's always a way in, but it's going to take more than a boot or a crowbar to do it. Obviously I'm not going to explain the way in on a public forum. Even your question made me stop & consider it again :-)

Why don't you just put a ground anchor and big chain around them too? That will stop the need for worrying. Also an angle grinder would be louder than most alarms.
