Storage for Thruxton with no garage to call home

Asgard do a good one, but you will be lucky if you ever get to see it!

 

I used a metal panel shed like this, at my last house and al through 5 winters had not trouble with condensation at all, BUT I was advised that before I erect the sheds (3 of 'em) I should create a floor as follows:

1. level the ground the shed is going to sit on, with blocks or bricks that the shed sits on;

2. put sand inside the perimeter of blocks, level it out then put a plastic sheet over the sand to act as a vapour barrier;

3. Then put expanded polystyrene sheets (25mm) on top of the vapour barrier, to act as insulation;

4. Final layer - sterling board or similar (18-20mm thick) on top of the polystyrene, to act as the working floor.

Here are two versions of what I'm talking about:

I have just sold a 'Lifetime' brand 10' x 8' plastic shed due to moving house and I can vouch for the superb quality of these products.
Double doors, so great for getting the bike in and out and they keep everything inside as dry as snuff due to the double skin walls, plastic floor and ventilation.
As for security, well they are plastic so if someone was intent on breaking in it would be easier than breaking into a brick/concrete garage, but as the bike can still be alarmed and padlocked inside the plastic shed it's not really a showstopper.
Gutted I had to get rid of mine due to not having enough room for it, but I would highly recommend one for the bike.
I advertised it on the forum a few weeks ago and was surprised there were no enquiries, I then put it on e-bay and it sold easily with over 100 watchers.

 

I've an 8x6 wooden shed that's housed my Doris for the last 2 1/2 years with no probs! Before erection(ooer etc) I drilled holes and put the U of the u lock through the floor and round a strut which I chain her to. Had no probs but have been told for good cheap insulation staple bubble wrap to the walls etc.

 

I thought I'd logged on to the wrong forum then with all that talk about erection, slut and chains.
I then realised you'd said strut!

I had one of these for a year before moving house and getting a garage. Way better than the throw over jobs, no condensation, and bike stayed dry. Sold mine for nearly what I paid for it.
