Bike covers for storing outdoors?

I'm after a somewhat fitted cover for 4 bikes to sit outside, temporarily while we get a more robust shed built. Ideally it'd be a single cover fitting 4 bikes, so I can lock the bikes all together; but while there's lots out there for 1 or 2 bikes, there's not much beyond that.

Ideally I suppose a 4-bike version of this: https://www.decathlon.ie/bike-covers/304094-63245-protective-cover-for-2-bikes.html#/demodelsize-254no_size/demodelcolor-8517459

...but can anyone recommend anything better? Cheers

For the 'live outdoor/town/station/shopping/general utility' bikes that we don't really worry about the security of, we have a large heavy duty tarpaulin attached to a fence along the length of the tarpaulin at about 5 feet high. The other end of the tarpaulin that runs parallel with the fence has a few bits of timber fixed to, to give it some weight.

We just wheel the bikes under the tarp and lean them against the fence, the weighted end goes over the bikes and down to near the ground. We don't get any issues with puddling on the tarp, or excessive flapping in the wind

I bought one of the two bike size in the CRC sale - £25 reduced to £6 and it does the job. Seems robust enough, though Im keeping it at aging parents house so the ebike isnt sitting out in the rain when i visit.

.

Used it a couple of times and I'm glad I bought it. Bike sitting out, though waterproof is still an ebike sitting out in the rain, and this does away totally any worries.
