For the most part, I would agree with a wooden shed, however, if your budget can stretch that far, an Asgard motorbike garage would be a sound investment..

Meant to say, we have one of the smaller push bike metal pent shed, nice and secure, no bikes stolen from it.. We did used to have a wooden bike shed on the drive, but after twice having bikes stolen from it, we invested in the Asgard shed, never looked back. ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Can't vouch for the Asgard motorbike garage, but, the push bike shed, doesn't suffer from condensation, but then again, I'm not putting a still warm motorbike in there. I'm not against wooden sheds by any stretch, but, I'm also saying, don't rule out an Asgard garage. ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

My shed is ventilated along both sides, a 3" gap where the roof overlaps the walls. My main gripe with that is dust,
as the prevailing wind hits the shed square on the side. Next year it's being moved to face the other way in a big
garden redesign which should help a lot. It certainly isn't damp in there. I've had two bags of cement in there for 18
months and I used one of those a few days ago on my slabbing job. Hadn't clumped together at all. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I know I wouldn't. Not for security so much as mildew, anything you wear gets slightly damp and won't soon dry in a shed except for about two weeks in July maybe.
Wood will age more gracefully than metal and look better, which is important for most of us. |
I keep my kit in the garage unless it's wringing wet, in which case it'll hang in the dining room with the dehumidifier going overnight. I do hang my leathers with a bit of space between them, and treat them with nikwax once a year or so. I've not had any mildew problems with them (concrete block garage, ventilated)
If the bikes wet, I use a couple of those microfiber drying towels to wipe it down as best I can, and if I'm feeling diligent I'll fire up the little generator and use the vacuum on blower mode to dry the harder to reach bits for five minutes or so.
If I had mains electric I'd have a dehumidifier in there for sure. If I was building a shed in the garden I'd insulate the fck out of it and seal it up with Tyvek or another breathable membrane and run a dehumidifier in there. No dust, no damp, and a warm place to work on the bike and get changed into my leathers.
Yes, moving out of an overcrowded city is on my to do list.
Also - does your concrete slab have a dpc? |

FWIW my 8x12 shed was £600 quid delivered and assembled. I'm on year 5 with it now, still good and strong although
it had a coat of fencelife stuff at the 2 year mark, mainly because the factory finish was a bit crap.
On planning, my next door neighbour has a wooden outhouse with a jacuzzi thing in it. It's shown as a permanent
building on the land registry, so presumably they had to get planning. I might have had a letter about it not long after
we moved here, but I don't mind about stuff like that too much. My wifes studio had to be approved by planning due to
proximity to the boundary line rather than anything else what with it being brick built. That's about 4.5m square and
about 4m tall. It sits a metre from two different boundary lines in the corner of my back garden but is pretty much garage sized. . ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
