    Hi all,

    I'm living in Dublin, have a small rear garden with 6' high surround fencing keeping out the neighbours behind and beside, with side entrance, however garden shed is full of stuff already, now need sto find a secure place for storing two bikes both from weather and thieves.

    Anyone got any recommendations on a lockbox type storage container that can be left out in the garden and where these can be sold?

    Thanks.

    Hi! With the amount of bikes being stolen currently, I would store your bike inside your house- little scumbags could easily break a lock & throw your bike over your wall/fence!

    Argo or woodies have half height plastic shed/lockups

    This reminds me of something I've been mulling over.

    How do you lock up a big cargo trike, like a Christiania, if you don't have a garage? Hoop embedded in the ground and a tarp? You can't bring it into the house.

    I have one of these http://www.trimetals.co.uk/bicycle-storage.php
    have 2 road bike & mountain bike stored in it along with other bike gear.
    While nothing is completely thief proof, it is pretty secure and also weather proof, bikes & gear were completely dry so far this winter. It comes flat packed and took me about a day to build it. There is a company in Ashford that supply them http://www.dyg.ie/category/type-gardening-accessory/garden-storage

    Buy two Kyrptonite New Yorks. Embed one in the concrete slab that you will replace your garden with. Then lock the Christiania to that...

    This is not a SUDS friendly design!
