Asgard have been designing and making metal bike storage for many years, and the most common questions are: “What is the best bike storage solution?” “What is the best way to store a bike?”

In this short article we attempt to answer these questions based on our years of storage experience. The goal of a bike storage unit is simple - keep your bikes neat, tidy, safe, secure and out of the house. Choosing bike storage can be as complicated as choosing a new bicycle. Below we have a breakdown of Asgard’s best-selling bike storage sheds, and a few of the features and benefits of each.

Asgard manufacture bike sheds that are suitable for storing multiple bikes. We are all riders at Asgard, so we know how important a bike is - and when you have lots of bikes in one place (i.e. you are a serious rider or part of a club), that’s a golden opportunity for bike theft.

Our extra-large units are all Police Approved, Locksmiths approved AND Loss Prevention Certified (Level1). Each of our sheds have been designed to provide maximum bike security, with deadbolts, reinforced hinges and solid integral metal floors.  Our large units keep bikes dry thanks to hidden roof ventilation and additional side vents (depending on model). Inside, you can store multiple bikes either stacked or in one of the optional bike racks. Add in the Hook and Shelf packs for storing helmets, backpacks and maintenance equipment - suitable for the obsessive rider or a club. As an added bonus these units are large enough to stand in - so ideal as a bike maintenance shed/ bike cave.
