Pictures of your shed/garage/workshop.

[Coxyzxr]

Been recently donated a shed (as in wood) by my girlfriends dad.
It's sizable for a shed not the average garden shed size so it has potential for a workshop which is what I'm planning.

The only thing I'm concerned with is it's "Pebble floor" and it's security as it's purely wood.

Interested to see pics of your shed interior to get some inspiration for Layout/interior etc as it's my first workshop so looking somewhat excited by it.

Kind regards

But in all seriousness my shed is quite large but contains rabbit's stuff/lawnmower/junk as well as my bike. Knocked down small shed but gonna get another so I can make the big one a bikeshed. (or get a garage)

Well the most important thing is size of the shed....

Are you using it just as a workshop or are you planning to work on the bike in there as well.
You will need plenty of room round the bike to work, so putting the workbench at one end is best. Unless you have a shed that is over 8' wide.
Even at 8' wide you only have 3' on either side of the bike in which to work.

So unless your shed is something like 12' X 8' getting a bench and a ramp to be working on the bike is going to be a real tight fit.

Here's a recent one of my garage, but I have tidied it a bit since then...

Interesting use of an ex-service engine block as an anti-theft anchor for the S4, MarJay - or is it actually bolted to the floor?

Oh yeah, and when you post more details about your security arrangements, can you include key-codes etc, and preferably a googlemaps link showing exactly where your lockup is

Looking forward to getting the CG done and out of the garage so I have some elbow room.

I use the trikes back box for a working surface, and when that isn't enough I have a couple of trestles and a sheet of MDF cut to size.

Use of space.

At the back, there's a large shelf/second floor a little longer than a bike.
Bikes are stored underneath, then various spares are stored on shelves on top of the shelf.
To the left we have a general workbench, with vice, and various electric bench-tools. Shelf above this for boxes of bits such as bolts etc. Tool boxes below this, with bigger tools below this (welder, grinders, etc).
There's also shelves above the bit right at the front, where I've got some fairings stored.

Hooks to the right for paddock stands, wheels etc.
Can get eight bikes in there just about. Could probably make it nine at a squeeze, once I've got a few other bits out.
At the moment I've got three at the front and four at the back, but have had five at the back in the past.

What the hell do you guys use for floor-space? I've got 5 workbenches a lathe a mill and a welder in mine and I can play ring-a-ring-a-roses around my bike. It's not all THAT big but I've been careful to keep the centre area clear.

Coxyzxr: When you say 'pebble' floor you mean you are building it straight onto the ground? That's fine but you've got to protect the wood from ground moisture or it'll only last a few years until it's rotted through. I'd suggest laying a sheet of heavy DPM on the ground, then put the shed on that and fold it up the outside and fit a nice skirting to hide it and secure it. will keep the moisture out well that and stop weeds penetrating the floor.

For a floor, just get some bags of sharp sand & cement and knock-up a screed and put a couple of inches of that inside so long as the ground below is firm. It'll give you a good standing surface but you'll have to be careful not to gouge it too much with bike stands.

For the inside - shelving, shelving and more shelving. Strips of wood, tin shelves, old pallets anything you can get. The more shelves you have the less crap there will be on the floor. Use any up-high space coz that is always wasted - any space which will never be occupied by your head/torso is a good candidate for shelving storage. If you want to work on your bike in the shed you need to figure a space at least 2.5m square. Working on one side of a bike only is a royal PITA - I know coz when I built my 1st shed it was just 6' wide and has a bench dwn one side. The bike had to be parked along the other wall and to swap sides I had to wheel it out and turn it round. A proper mission especially for working on the suspension etc.

One good idea if you're tight of space is to leave one corner of the shed empty. That way you can push one end of the bike into the corner and get both sides and round the back using very little floor space. You can do it if you put some thought into it - my workshop is only 4m x 5m and I can get all the stuff I said above plus 3 bikes in there and still move around.

Aye well those came with the bike (was completely stripped down and in many more boxes).. I just leave those on top of the bike as they're filled with bike parts for it.. so If i'm working on the bike then, they're there

I have a Bikesafe 300.

Can fit a CBR125 and SV650 in, just!

Have replaced a set of pads in the Bikesafe but woundn't want to get too adventurous.
