Why It’s Important To Protect Your Bike In A Secure Motorbike Shed.
The importance of your bike to you is priceless and is not just a luxury. It’s vital to your day to day life whether riding it to work down to the shops or relaxing and keeping fit. All your other garden equipment is kept safe and is locked away and not out in the garden. So it goes without saying that a metal motorbike shed should be very high on your priority list. Just take a look at our large range of motorbike storage sheds and see which one will be best for your bike.
Practical Motorbike Shed Storage Solutions
Protect your motorbike from theft and weather damage with various storage solutions, including metal and wooden sheds. Our metal sheds are made from galvanised steel, assuring maximum security and protection for your bike. If you want to enjoy your motorbike for a long time, a proper storage solution isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. With a selection of shed sizes to choose between, we’ve got you – and your motorbike – covered.
Why Motorbike Shed Storage Is Essential
If you’re a motorbike owner, you’ll know they offer a sense of freedom that is impossible to replicate with cars. Whether it’s avoiding those traffic jams or enjoying the rush of the wind as you cruise down those country roads, there’s nothing quite like owning a motorbike. But to get the most out of your wheels and ensure your bike continues to be a worthwhile investment, you must protect it. Motorbike sheds are the best way to avoid weather damage, theft and debris build-up.
The Great British Weather Is A Challenge To Motorbike Owners Everywhere.
OK, living in the UK has many advantages, and nobody could ever deny that. But the infamous British weather is something we all have to accept. It rains a lot, we get a fair amount of snow in the winter months and nobody is ever quite sure about what to expect, but the weather is more than an inconvenience. Motorbikes are susceptible to water damage, and while a waterproof cover has some benefits, nothing beats the protection a metal motorbike storage shed can offer. Small amounts of rust are inevitable, but if your bike continues to take a beating from the weather, it will be a costly problem to fix.
Keep Your Home & Your Motorbike Clean
Storing your motorcycle inside your home isn’t exactly practical, and bikes spend a lot of time outdoors. That means the wheels accumulate dirt and debris, which gets carried through to your home. If you have even a small amount of garden space, installing a motorbike shed means you have easy access to your bike and can keep it – and your home – clean.
Protecting Your Valuable Bike From Thieves.
It’s a lot easier to steal a motorbike than it is a car, and the last thing you want is to spend a fortune on your dream bike, only for thieves to steal it. While there are multiple ways to reduce the risk of theft, storing your bike in a secure shed will always be the most effective. Our motorbike sheds have reinforced doors with a pick resistant Euro cylinder lock, which ensures your bike is safe at all times. We can’t guarantee that thieves won’t try to target your motorbike, but we are confident that they won’t get very far with our garden sheds.
Covering You From Fault With Insurance Companies
Some insurance companies won’t even consider offering you cover if you don’t have a garage or shed to store your motorcycle in – especially if you live in a city. Crime rates are always higher in urban locations, and the average insurance company expects you to prove you’ve done everything you can to protect your bike. If you leave it in an open location, most companies will stand their ground and refuse to pay any money. Our sheds mean you can get effective insurance that enables you to enjoy your bike for years to come.
We Offer a Range of Secure Motorbike Sheds
Motorbike sheds should offer maximum protection from the weather and keep your bike safe from thieves. At 1st Choice Leisure Buildings, we place particular emphasis on using quality materials and providing sleek designs that will look great in your garden – without compromising on functionality. We have a range of sheds to choose between, and all of our customers have a choice between high-quality galvanised metal or wooden sheds made from Scandinavian softwood.
Reinforced Metal Sheds
Metal sheds offer heightened security, so if you’re worried about thieves stealing your bike, you can’t go wrong with a solid design. Our metal sheds come in a range of sizes, but each uses galvanised steel to ensure maximum protection from the elements. With reinforced, lockable doors and surrounds for extra security and pick resistant locks, you can keep your motorcycle safe from rain, snow and heavy winds. Whether you need a small shed or would like a larger model to combine your motorbike storage with other items, our cost-effective, expertly crafted bike sheds won’t let you down. Please take a look at our SafeStore Gold high-security secure bike shed workshops, as they are some of the best available anywhere. They have a weatherproof polyester coating, drill proof external bolts and are maintenance-free.All of our metal sheds are built to withstand the harshest weather conditions and most cunning thieves. Better still, they come with free installation and an affordable price.
Secure Wooden Sheds
It doesn’t matter where design technology takes us; wood will always be a favourite. It’s effortlessly sophisticated and can blend in with your garden. Wood is also environmentally friendly, but there are some things to be aware of before choosing a shed. Many budget sheds use chipwood and other cheap boards, which might seem like a good idea, but they’re susceptible to water damage, which can leak through to the interior. This can cause more damage to your motorbike, which completely defeats the object of having a motorcycle shed in the first place. We use Scandinavian softwood in our wooden sheds, with polyester backing and roofing felt to prevent any water from escaping through the roof. You’ll also benefit from toughened glass windows and a Taurus manufactured safety lock with a 50mm strong bolt (on certain model).
Flexible Motorbike Storage Sheds
It doesn’t matter how small your garden is, because we offer a selection of sheds in all sizes. Smaller spaces can benefit from our alley shed designed to store your motorcycle without compromising garden space. You can also customise your shed to meet your preferences, including choosing between a range of colours and floor types. We offer an assembly service on our SafeStore Gold buildings and free installation on the Diamond and Platinum timber building, giving you flexibility and peace of mind that our additional security features will protect what you value most.

FAQs For Motorbike Sheds
No results!
-
Are these SafeStore sheds fire proof?
No, SafeStore sheds are not fire-rated. While they are constructed from metal, this does not provide official fireproof certification. A metal construction means they can’t easily be ignited and will last longer than wooden sheds in the event of a fire. However, SafeStore sheds are not officially fire-rated in any way.
-
Do SafeStore metal sheds suffer from condensation?
A metal shed can be prone to dampness and condensation without proper planning. SafeStore metal garden sheds include a roof ventilation system that reduces condensation, keeping your equipment dry and safe. If the shed base is not built correctly, a damp base will likely cause condensation, so always ensure the concrete or slab base is slightly larger than the shed. The edges of the base should be smoothed and angled downward to prevent water seepage. Also, make sure there are no plants or bushes near the shed, as they can allow moisture to enter.
-
Is it possible to install my SafeStore shed directly on my lawn?
SafeStore sheds are among the heaviest and most secure available. Placing a shed directly on your lawn may cause it to sink over time, and can make the doors difficult to open if the shed is not level. Recommended metal shed base sizes are listed at the bottom of each product page. For guidance on building a suitable shed base, please call us as we may be able to help..
-
The Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) specialises in testing the security features of products. Several of our metal sheds have been tested and certified to Level 1, and many are built to meet this standard. Please note that some companies may claim to hold this certification without proper documentation. We recommend requesting certification for each product. For more information about SafeStore Secure Steel Sheds LPCB ratings, please contact us.
-
What is the steel thickness used, and does it make a difference?
Safestore metal sheds use heavy-gauge galvanised steel, which is a higher grade than competitors offer. This construction makes the shed exceptionally strong, durable, and resistant to weather and theft.
-
What size metal shed do I need for my garden?
Does your garden building fit your available space? In our experience, storage in a garden shed is always fully utilised. Have you considered choosing the largest shed that fits comfortably within your area and budget? SafeStore offers a wide range of sizes—what are your specific storage needs? If you are replacing an existing shed, do you want to keep the same size or go bigger? How often will you use the shed? Do you need easy access, single or double doors, or ramp access?
-
Why do you provide a base size, and what does it represent?
We recommend installing our sheds on a 50mm concrete or similar solid base. A level, flat surface ensures proper door function and simplifies assembly. Please avoid placing sheds on grass or soil, as the weight of our metal sheds may cause them to sink into the ground. Shed base size information is available at the bottom of each product page.
-
Why is the delivery time so long?
All metal sheds are designed and manufactured in-house, and the trained installation crews manage delivery and installation (installation is an optional extra). Although this process may take a bit longer, it ensures your product arrives complete and fully functional. Each product is visually inspected before dispatch and again upon delivery to confirm it is in excellent condition.
