Many people invest a considerable amount of money into their motorbike. For some it is a…
- Serious hobby like building and repairing them,
- Way of life
- The best mode of travel
- Sport
- Social activity
- Culture and upbringing
Whatever the reason is for owning one of these vehicles, it is safe to say that it’s a huge investment to own one so the last thing you want is it getting damaged, worn by the weather or stolen by thieves.
Having a place to store your motorbike and keep it covered from the elements is essential. Not everyone has enough room in their garage and tend to resort to using a tarp to cover the motorbike in the driveway or carport.
If you don't have a garage big enough for your car and motorbike you may be looking for a better storage solution, a motorbike shed or workshop.
People are adding extra storage buildings to their properties to facilitate their motorbike needs.
So what products are available on the market, which is suitable for motorbikes?
Let's take a look...
TIPS FOR BUYING A STORAGE SHED FOR A BIKE:
Before discussing some common sheds motorbike owners choose for their bikes, I want to share some tips when considering which is best for you.
You need to be practical about choosing storage so you have something durable, safe and will fit your living situation.
Here are some crucial pointers to consider for storing motorbikes:
#1 You need double doors or a wide access entry to ensure you can get the bike in and out without damage.
#2 Enough width so you can get alongside your bike inside the structure.
#3 Door ramps to wheel it in of course.
#4 Lighting solutions- windows and skylights, for obvious reasons
A bike isn't as light as a bicycle or as easy to manoeuvre as a lawnmower so you need to take these aspects into consideration as you can easily purchase something thats impractical.
RECOMMENDED SHEDS FOR MOTORBIKES:
#1 Steel Sheds | |
You can always consider building a Steel Storage shed which is affordable but more often than not a permanent fixture to your house. Finding one that's suitable will be easy and the following bike sheds are recommended: WARNING: If you are wanting to work on your bike, and use power tools. Then you may want to consider something bigger like a workshop. |

#2 Workshop or Garage Shed | |
When a shed will just not do and you need room for the motorbike and a workshop to work on the bike, you need a motorbike workshop. Here you still need to consider the key factors:
You will need either a steel workshop set up or what we call a garage shed. It's never been easier finding a suitable home for your motorbike so why not consider upgrading your tarp to an actual motorbike garage. It will not only take up little room on your property but will keep your motorbike dry from bad weather and safe from being stolen. |
