Which bike shed?

I'm sinking a Sheffield stand into concrete and planning on building a shed around it to house our 3 bikes (my road bike, 650b FS MTB and my wife's hybrid).

I wanted to see if there are any recommendations for good sheds or websites.

Looking for a shed just to house the bikes, and as low as possible (we won't be standing up in there) so as not to block out sunlight (it will be close to our windows).

Any recommendations?

    a security shed - reinforced walls, you cannot just pull the roof off, and the door is pretty secure. It just makes it more difficult for the runts to break in there, so I thought probably worth the extra dosh. They put down a concrete base for it, so it would be easy to drill an anchor in if you wanted, although I haven't.

    Asgard are highly recommended
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

    I recommended these to a mate and he bought the 3 bike variant. It weighs a ton, has multiple locking points (covered) and v easy to get bikes in and out of.

    Do you have a local place that you can just go and look at different sheds?

    I'd do that as you can often have them made to the exact height etc. that you want.
