I finished my garden shed!

I can't tell entirely, but this looks like a good size for storing bicycles? Does it fit a standard size bike?

[–] Dave 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, it's designed for fitting bikes or similar things. One of these

I've got my mountain bike, three kids bikes, a balance bike, some skate boards, helmets, and a pogo stick all carefully stacked in there.

[–] eagleeyedtiger 2 points 10 months ago

It looks good. I might have to consider something like it if I can't reclaim some space to store the bike in the garage, along with the kids bikes.

Sick; i've been thinking of getting one of these because it'd go up against a timber fence & hopefully match wood for wood. They seem pretty doable in terms of assembling these flat pack style sheds eh?

I just noticed my shed matches the house 😆. A coincidence!

The instructions for my shed were not as step-by-step as I had hoped. It had step by step instructions, but it wasn't always clear which way around something should go, or where I should be drilling holes.

I just took it slowly, and skipped parts I wasn't sure about until it became clearer when other parts were assembled.

It's the first time I've assembled a shed, and I managed it fine, so I'm sure you can too. But take your time, I don't believe I drilled any holes in the wrong place but there are many times I believe I almost did.

You'll also likely need a second person at some point, even if just to hold walls in the right place while you connect them.

It looks really tidy!

It does! It's the only colour that was available 😆
