You could also fit a cheap alarm with a loud siren to go off when the door is forced to encourage thieves not to hang around.
I would think twice about sticking it below a window like in the picture where a theif might climb on it to try to force the window.
Not everybody lives in a high crime rate area, some of us just need to keep our bikes dry
Take the leek water, add potatoes and boil up. You’ll have a warm, hearty soup.

3 pumps of a pallet truck and it would be away!
"to keep bikes dry" that's exactly the point. Wouldn't take anyone 5 minutes to break into any type of shed!
I don't live in a high crime area, however my bikes are worth a lot so I want to protect them form Neds/Chavs who like to follow me back from the trails. If you are just parking your BLO in in fine, go for it...
A tarp does the same thing at a fraction of the cost.
As its going to take the same time to break in with a crowbar as looking in the windows that's a moot point.
Pump, pump, and pump! Get in.

But who's going to know what's inside, it could be anything in there from old garden tools, and few bags of compost. Just coz someone has bought this does not mean to say they are going to put bikes in there.
Yeah maybe true. Though I'd prefer to look out into the garden onto something half respectable than a dirty old sheet flapping in the wind like a scence from 'Snatch'.....
Might be the first thing they muck about with though.
Asguard ok he's a road biking jessie, but may take a bit more than 5 minutes...
Personally I would use an angle grinder as a thief did to steal 18K of bikes from someone I know. (garage, concrete set loop and locks). Daily bikes in the Asguard, expensive bikes in the house.
Note if you have bikes in a bike shed most insurance companies wont cover them unless they are locked together.
Don't get me wrong I would love to live in a world where there were no thieving scum after our bikes, however after cycling home the other night I was amazed at the piles of bike left at each bridge by the canal dredger probably 30+ bikes in a couple of hundred yards of canal. Coupled with plods total disinterest in sorting the problem.
So if they break the door they still need an angle grinder
And mine also seems to leek water though the wooden slats so would also recommend felting the back of the wooden parts before putting together.
Sounds like it's very poor quality! You'd be better putting the roof felt on the outsides of the timber will just rot.

lol,the false sense of security. My brother was a copper in a 'low crime area' sure it was low in some crimes, but they tend to have higher house prices and attract career burglars to steal all the nice things, one family were tied up at knife point whilst they emptied the house after being followed home. Burglary was far more common than most of the residents knew. If you're going to make a carrer of beinmg a pikey robbing rat you don't do it on a run down council estate do you.
If its to keep the family bikes or a lawnmower in its fit for purpose.
What is it with the dirty little losers in life?
They seem to think they should have the good things in life when they haven't done or even prepared to do a hard days work in their poxie little lives to deserve it.
When I was young, most of us had to make do with what we could afford. Not case the joint like your average NED/CHAV/Scroat does these days to see what others have worked hard for, just to make off with it for free.
They boil my p!55, they really do.
Work for the Police in Crime Prevention, by any chance? 😁
I appreciate anybody giving good ideas, I thought this was a sharing community !!!!!!
I was thinking the same. On its own it’s no good for protecting bikes but there are lots of ways to modify it so that it is suitable.
Spending a bit more on something insurance compliant might be worth your while, and last better.
I had one lasted 10 years wood treated it twice great for the price. Insurance companies insist on a shed so this serves its purpose.
