Bike Sheds

Shop our range of secure bike sheds

Homebase's bike sheds can be plain wooden or shiplap, which provides extra protection from extreme weather, as well as great visual appearance. Our bike sheds are available with either pent or apex roofs, pent roofs are designed to make bike storage sheds more compact so that they can be fitted under trees or against a fence, whereas apex roofs add height.

As part of our bike storage range, you can also shop insulated bike sheds to prevent your bikes from rusting, or bike sheds with double doors for that added functionality. The variety of styles that we offer means that your bike will always have a safe and comfortable home.

Find the right bike storage shed for your garden

The size of the bike shed that you need depends on a few key factors:

• How many bikes you’re storing
• The size of your outdoor space
• What else needs to fit alongside them
• How you’re going to make all your items accessible once you’ve got everything stored together

As a rough guide, a 6 x 3 shed comfortably fits two bikes, a 6 x 4 works well for three, and a 7 x 3 gives you room for four alongside a bit of extra storage space. If you're tight on space, our smaller bike sheds and compact pent-roof options are designed to tuck neatly against a fence or wall without taking over the garden.

For larger households or those wanting to store bikes alongside garden tools and equipment, it's worth sizing up - you'll appreciate the extra room once everything's inside.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you build a bike shed?

Making a bike shed yourself isn’t straightforward, therefore we recommend you calling for professional help. However, if you are experienced and think you can do it yourself, you should also check the instructions that come with the bike shed you have purchased, as not all are the same. If you need a way to transport your bike, check out our bike trailers.

Can you put a bike shed in my front garden?

Whether or not you can put a bike shed in your front garden depends on planning permission, we recommend calling your local council and finding out more as some areas in England do require it.

How do you store and secure bikes in a shed?

Storing a bike in a shed can be as easy as just resting it on the side, however, if you have multiple bikes you should consider installing a shelf with hooks to make room. To be extra safe you should also add in padlocks on the outside of the shed, it'll ensure added security.

What's the best material for a bike shed?

Wooden bike sheds are a solid choice if appearance matters and budget is a consideration, starting from around £269. For longer-term outdoor storage, steel options like those from Asgard offer stronger weather resistance, better security, and less ongoing maintenance. Several include multi-point locking and a built-in floor as standard, which is worth factoring into the overall cost.

How do I protect my bike shed from the elements?

For wooden sheds, an annual coat of shed paint or wood preservative keeps the cladding in good condition and helps prevent moisture getting in. If condensation is an issue - particularly in unheated sheds - look for models with ventilation panels, which help maintain airflow and reduce the risk of rust on bikes and components. Many of our steel bike sheds include ventilation as standard. For timber options, several brands on our range use sustainably sourced wood, so it's worth checking individual product details if that's a consideration for you.

Will a bike rust in a shed?

If your bike shed isn't heated then yes your bike will rust in a shed. If you can't provide heating in your bike shed, then try to pre-treat it with a rust proof oil.
