When it fell apart we
replaced it, with one of those small plastic sheds, about £99 in B and
Q; and bolted it down onto a concrete base. It's still weatherproof and
undamaged after 20 years; very robust.

Would you be able to make them very secure Janet? I'd love to get my
bike out of the hall and into a small shed in the front garden so i
didn't have to go all the way down to the bottom of the garden but I
worry about security.

Any sort of shed type thing for this is never going to be that secure
really. Hinges , lock fixings will always be weak points.

Better I think to concentrate on having something to lock the bike to
securely inside. Some sort of ground anchor concreted in? or bolted to
the house wall? you can things they use for locking motorbikes too. Or a
length of hardened steel chain concreted into a lump of concrete buried
a couple of feet under ground with a couple of steel bars sticking out
into the soil.

Lock the bike to this with a decent lock or another length of security
chain. Won't stop someone if they really want it, but assuming it's not
bike that someone is going to want make a effort to get (in which case
I wouldn't want to be leaving it outside the front of the house anyway)
it will keep off the local scrotes.
