Many
of us suffer from having no garage attached to our tiny homes. If, like me, you
live with more bikes than resident humans, then you will understand the need
for some kind of shed for bikes.
Asgard make sheds from double-skinned
steel. They are very heavy (250kg) and arrive with everything you need to bolt
them into the ground (just in case you’re worried about being robbed by crane).
This model is designed for bikes - its 9ft long, 5ft wide and I’ve managed to
cram six bikes in there with relative ease, as well as a set of shelves and
general bike flotsam.
It comes flat- packed and the
instructions were clear enough that I had it built in around four hours,
including several tea breaks. The panels are reassuringly heavy and I needed
another pair of hands to get the roof in place. I was going to count the screws
but I gave up after a hundred or so. I had a cordless screwdriver - it was
vital. If you don’t, you can at least double the build time.
The level of detail included in the
build is impressive and it comes with everything you need, though it must be
sited on either a concrete foundation or solid patio. The lock on the door is a
triple point system using Yale-style cylinder keys. You can also buy a wireless
infra- red alarm from Asgard and if anyone were to try and break in, the fact
it is essentially a huge steel drum means they at least won’t be able to do it
in silence.
Overall: If you are a
typical domestic male you will be in shed heaven with the Asgard. The level of
security it offers is second only to a well-padlocked shipping container.
