How Big Should A Bike Shed Be?
When you are choosing a bike shed, you may not know what size to choose, especially if you have a more custom bike or multiple bikes. That’s why you should consider the bike shed size very carefully when shopping for a shed.
This article will discuss considerations for your shed, which sheds are best for your storage needs, customisable sheds, and everything else you need to know about how big your shed needs to be to meet your needs.
What to Consider When Choosing Your Bike Shed Size
The most important thing you need to consider when choosing your bike shed is the number of bikes you’ll be storing, because, the more bikes you have, the bigger your shed will need to be. For people who don’t necessarily have the biggest garden for a shed, there are still options, such as vertical sheds.
The average size requirement for shed size x number of bikes is:
1 Bike = 6′ x 2′
2 Bikes = 6′ x 3′
3 Bikes = 6′ x 4′
4 Bikes = 6′ x 5′
5 Bikes = 6′ x 5′
You also need to consider how much you need to store in your garden to help you select your shed. If you need to store more than just your bike, then selecting a bike shed that can also accommodate shelf space is important.
You can also consider adding log and bin storage onto your shed to ensure you are maximising the storage options available to you. Having storage add-ons can also mean that your shed can save you having extra furniture in your garden, which can also increase your outdoor space.
Which Sheds Are Best for Your Needs?
Best Bike Sheds for Multiple Bikes
The best bike sheds for multiple bikes are vertical bike sheds. These sheds can accommodate multiple bikes in less space, so they provide you with the storage you need without the need for a cumbersome shed taking up space in your garden.
Most classic bike sheds are also suitable for multiple bikes, and our entire range of bike sheds can be made to accommodate the number of bikes you need.
Best Bike Sheds for Extra Storage
The best bike sheds for extra storage are our range of classic sheds. These sheds have the most add-on options, and they can also accommodate multiple add-ons.
Another option for bike sheds with additional storage is cargo bike sheds. These sheds are purposely designed to accommodate bigger bikes and more storage.
Customisable Bike Sheds - The Easiest Way to Ensure You Have the Right Space
The easiest way to get the exact bike shed size you need is to choose a customised bike shed. With a customised bike shed, you can choose the size, roof type, cladding, optional storage, and more. This will ensure that you get the best fit for your bike, storage needs, and garden, without having to compromise on anything.
When choosing your customisable classic bike shed from Brighton Bike Sheds, you will start with the base shed. This includes the number of bikes you want to store, the roof type, and the cladding choice. These are standard with all of our bike sheds and ensure your shed is functional and aesthetically pleasing.
There are then customisable options such as Plus Height, which increases your shed height by 300mm and includes a shelf to maximise even more storage. You can also change the roof type at this stage to a reverse-pitch roof.
The final customisation stage of designing your shed is add-ons, where you can add side storage up to 2000mm, bin storage up to 2000mm, and even a log store to truly make sure your shed can accommodate all your storage needs. Multiple add-ons can be added depending on the space you have available.
