Couple of ideas

The second one is probably big enough and I dare say cheaper than the insulated workshop. Local stable builder to me makes them

That second unit looks fantastic, perhaps with a wooden/coach door

if your keeping valuable motorbikes inside and tools make sure its secure ive always prefered bricks and motor to wood as a chain saw can eat wood for breakfast or a portable power saw....however nice it looks practicality always wins...a wife that cant cook but looks nice is worth diddly squat :lol: :D

I'd opt for no windows, so no-one can see in at all the lovely things worth knicking. If you're building it yourself (which is pretty easy) it's also much easier and cheaper to build without windows.

The problem with brick is the huge cost. £15,000 to £20,000 and I just dont have that cash. The concrete sectional one is a condensation magnet.
I agree about the security but if they are coming tooled with chainsaws to cut open the shed then they most likely know what they are coming for and nothing short of a gun to the head will stop them.

Your right about security, I do like the wood sheds though

Yes definitely no windows. Couple of bikes in the shed and nothing much else

If your going for a wooden shed and worry about theft you could always install one of those bike safe thingys inside it??
