1200 Bike Shelter

If it's metal you could have problems with (severe!) sweating. I get that to a small extent with my mostly all wooden workshop and although I use a dehumidifier it doesn't stop it completely.

What about using the bike tent type shelter? Something like this maybe Waterproof Motor Bike Folding Cover Storage Shed Shelter Outdoor Tent Garage New | eBay

Stick in a dehumidifier to help it along and it might be just as good, if nothing else it's cheaper. You could even use that and put a car port type cover over it for double protection and it still should be cheaper.

 

I've just ordered an Asgard Centurion for about the same money and it appears to be a lot better value?

It's not due for delivery for another couple of weeks so I can't give any real feedback on what it's like in the flesh but can let you know when I've put it up if you're interested...

I'm concerned about humidity as Red mentioned, but it has venting which is supposed to help so I'll have to wait and see. TBH I run a dehumidifier all the time in my garage and it's amazing the amount of water it takes out of the atmosphere so I expect I'll have to do something with the Centurion too which means getting a power supply out to it

 

Artic cable on a short (or any ) length works well. It can stand up to cold conditions and be buried underground etc. I use it for all my outside environments.

• Ideal for use with tools or equipment used outdoors or in a cold environment.
• Yellow Sheath

 

Looks like a reasonable deal Andy - although you can sometimes find third parties with better prices than their "sale" numbers. I got mine for £50 less than the sale price...

I looked at that one before buying, but I just didn't quite have enough space for it without a load of extra work. And since I only want to get a 125 and various odds and sods (bar-b-q etc.) out of my garage I went for the slightly smaller Centurion.

 

if its tin line it with polystyrene, stops condensation.

 

I have an asguard security shed and love it, had it for 5 years now, great quality and would recommend to anyone

 

finm - just done that with one wall of my garage (to stop me scratching the car) and was hoping it would also help with the damp come next winter.

knightrider - does the venting on the asgard work, or do you get condensation?

I have to yes as I've never seen any condensation, I don't ride a lot during winter but have put the bike away a lot when it hot and the outside temps are cold and still haven't had a problem. Hope this helps

 

Bugger - just paid for mine :Banghead:

 

OP, I have the larger version from the same manufacturer, can highly recommend it,, it comes flat pack so its like building a large meccano kit which I found quite fun. In the 6 years I,ve had it, it's stayed dry, free of damp and ticks all the boxes + I get a discount from my insurers as they recognise it as a bike shed. If you go to their website you will see more options, shelves for all your bits and pieces, locks , alarms etc. since buying the MTS I have wired it for power for the battery conditioner! it's now become my bolt hole

 

Anyone got experience of this shelter? Could be ideal for me, as I have very limited space, unless I lose some of the rear garden.

Thoughts welcome...
