Vertical Bike Shed

Tailor your shed to fit your space and style by selecting from a range of sizes and roof types. Choose your preferred cladding material to match your home’s aesthetics or go for maximum durability.

Enhance functionality with optional storage solutions to keep your cycling gear organised and easily accessible.

Our sheds are fortified with advanced security features. Externally, they utilize galvanised T-hinges with tamper-proof screws. Internally, a robust long-throw bolt lock with hardened steel and four keys secures the door. Double-door models have 100mm galvanised drop bolts for additional safety.

The sheds are covered with triple-layered timber cladding, shielded by a roof overhang to deter forced entry. Inside, a 32mm galvanised steel SecureBar allows for secure bike storage using locks or chains.

Elevate your bike shed with our Green Roof add-on, a living layer that transforms storage into a vibrant, eco-friendly habitat.

This low-maintenance, self-sustaining ecosystem provides ultimate protection, enhances urban biodiversity, and adds visual appeal with a variety of hardy alpine sedum species. A simple, green touch to urban living.

Our Bike Shed Features Explained

Side Storage

Often your space has room to extend either to the left or the right. The extended part can be used as secure lockable storage for garden equipment, tools, or anything that fits!

We offer our three most popular side storage sizes:

Small – (600mm) – with a single door
Medium (1200mm)
Large (2000mm) – which is actually a second Classic, so you can double up on bike storage
We build these units with a solid internal partition between the units, and a unified roof (felt or green), making it both robust and great to look at.

Please note: all references to ‘left’ or ‘right’ sides are when standing in front of the shed, looking at the front doors.

Bin Storage

What better way to conceal those ugly garden bins than within your new, beautiful bike shed. Available for either 2 or 3 bins, and as an open top option for the Classic.

Log Store

The roof and walls are extended out by an extra 400mm, enough to take most sizes of logs. The floor of the log store is built in treated slats to allow good air flow under the logs.

Scottish Larch

Fixed with a ‘shadow gap’ profile. Our signature cladding, with natural durability, aesthetics, affordability and sustainability.

Pine Slats

Fixed with 6mm gaps. The effect is architecturally striking, creating a strong light and shade contrast, and fits seamlessly with contemporary garden design.

Cedar Slats

Fixed with 6mm gaps. The tightness of the grain, natural durability and refined appearance make western red cedar an extremely high-quality option.

Pine T&G

Machined profile, this cladding offers a more precise look. This is the option if you intend to paint your cladding, or it can be left to weather to a silver grey.

Cedar T&G

This cladding has a contemporary premium look that enhances any garden. Over time western red cedar will weather to a beautiful silver-grey colour.

Charred Scottish Larch

Our signature cladding with a charred and oiled finish. The charring of the wood offers extra protection as well as an amazing backdrop to planting.

Painted Slats - Grey

Fixed with 6mm gaps. The slats are individually painted in a breathable exterior paint. A modern and striking shade of grey.

Painted Slats - Black

Fixed with 6mm gaps. The slats are individually painted in a breathable exterior paint. Looks great next to greenery.

FAQs

How do I mount a bicycle in a vertical bike shed?

In a vertical bike shed, the bikes are hung up on the back wall, allowing you to access them individually. This is done by lifting the front wheel over the retaining hook and hanging the bike up vertically.

The hooks are positioned at staggered heights to avoid handlebar clashes and are set up at 400-mm intervals. The width provided per bike is designed for standard road/hybrid bikes. However, if you have a majority of wide handlebar mountain/dutch bikes (e.g. 650-750mm), you should order one size up and request in the order notes (at checkout) that the hooks be spread out.

If you’re a cyclist looking for a bicycle storage shed to easily access your bikes,  then The Vertical is an excellent option for you. It’s specifically designed to fit bikes in an upright position, meaning less floor space is required.However, it’s important to note that since The Vertical has a higher roof line, it’s best suited for side passages or back gardens. If you’re looking for a bike shed with a lower roof line, then The Classic would be a more suitable option. Check out our full range of wooden bike sheds here.

Our vertical bike storage is available with three unique storage options for both the left and right side; side storage, bin storage (open-topped) and log storage.

Side Storage –  This gives you plenty of room to store garden equipment and anything else that might be lying around. The height of the side storage is the same as the cycle storage.

Bin storage (Open-topped) – A simple add-on letting you keep your bins out of sight. The height of the optional bin storage is around half the size of the bike shed.

Log Store – A great way to store logs & firewood without them getting wet. These are designed side-facing-outwards, and feature treated slatted floors allowing for good airflow.

The Vertical bike shed measures 2m at the front / 2.2m at the back in height, 1.3 depth, and the width depends on the number of bikes you need to store.

  • 1 bike – 0.8m wide
  • 2 bikes – 1m wide
  • 3 bikes – 1.4m wide
  • 4 bikes – 1.8m wide
  • 5 bikes – 2.2m wide
  • 6 bikes – 2.6m wide

You should also account for roof overhangs, which are 40mm on each side and back, plus 80mm of gutter on the front.

Be sure to double-check the size of your space before ordering to ensure the shed fits.

Yes. Our vertical bike storage is incredibly secure and built to last for years to come. We’ve built security into them layer by layer which delays intrusion and makes them nearly repellent to silent attacks.

They feature three main vital security features including:

  • Robust Door Hinges: We use heavy-duty galvanised T-hinges, fitted externally using galvanised steel security screws. A pair of 200m galvanised bolts lock off the secondary door internally. Turning the key on the primary door extends a hardened steel long-throw bolt behind the secondary door. The lock itself is coach bolted to the door frame to deter the use of crowbars.
  • SecureBar: A thick-walled galvanised steel tube fitted into the frame on the back shed wall. It would require noisy power tools to cut through it. Our SecureBar is easy to lock bikes to using your D-locks (Classic, Vertical units), or a security chain and padlock that runs through all the bikes. (Or best of all, a combination of both chain and D-locks).

Timber cladding: Timber cladding is firmly nailed on in three rows. Removal of it is made impossible by the roof overhang, which clamps the cladding in place around the top. Slatted cladding is given an additional run of lost head screws alongside the existing screws to deter the prising off of slats. The doors are given an extra layer of fixings and are nailed through the back and front.

The Vertical bike shed is relatively simple to install, as most of the shed is pre-assembled in our workshop.

Please let us know if you would like a PDF version of the instructions sent to you before deciding whether to self-assemble.If you think you’ll struggle with self-assembly, we recommend selecting our installation service, which is available for certain locations and offered at checkout if applicable.
