It is also windowless and features a hasp and staple that can be secured with a padlock (not supplied). This means you can safely store your bikes and other valuables away from the eyes of potential thieves in addition to giving them extra protection from theft by locking them away. Its apex roof is also popular feature that means the Bike Store will certainly not look unsightly in your garden. In fact, many of our customers have purchased it because it is not only a practical purchase, but also an attractive way to provide additional garden storage. Whether you just need the extra storage space for bikes, a little bit of added overspill room from your other storage areas for tools and equipment, or a combination of bikes and other items together, this bike store is a practical, quality and inexpensive solution.

Features

Constructed using high quality 12mm thick shiplap tongue and groove boarding, this ensures that your Bike Store is sturdy, robust and that anything stored inside will be nicely sealed away from the elements. The bike store also features a 34mm x 34mm framework which gives it additional strength. With a roof constructed from tough, 8mm Oriented Strand Board (OSB) which includes roofing felt to further help maintain the Bike Store’s weatherproof construction, you can rest assured that items stored inside will be protected. With wide opening double doors on the front, taking items in and out of storage is made easy. The doors are also supplied with reinforced ledged and braced doors that include a hasp and staple. This means you can lock all contents inside (padlock not included) providing extra peace of mind over the security of your items. Our customers often like to add their own personal touch by painting their bike stores and they look fantastic in any colour. Shire recommends you use Protek paint, available from elbec in a wide variety of colours. By using Protek Royal Exterior, you can make your bike store look exactly how you want it while adding extra protection to the timber.

About the Timber

You will be impressed by Shire's use of natural products and their environmental credentials. A high quality timber product starts with high quality timber, so it is important to know exactly what timber is being used for your storage solution. The most commonly used timber for garden buildings is pine (pinus) as this is widely available for a very cheap price, however all of Shire's garden buildings are constructed using high quality spruce (picea) and is sourced from Scandinavia under strict FSC guidance. Spruce is more durable than pine and provides a higher quality finish. This timber is slow grown unlike fast grown British and Eastern Europe's timber, being slow grown timber means a tighter grain, less sap and with far fewer knots. The timber used on Shire's range is therefore a more durable timber that will last much longer than other timbers. Spruce is therefore the timber of choice for companies such as Shire who always look to produce the best garden building.
