Can anyone recommend a metal shed?

6x4 or 7x4.

Bikes will be chained together inside. So whist security is a concern, the door won't be the last line of defence.

Asgard is the usual answer; their lead time is extended so that's worth checking.

As above. I no longer worry about my bikes being outside.

Having had my Asgard quite easily broken into at the end of last year, I'd be tempted to say whatever metal shed you fancy and a serious chain lock and ground anchor inside. That's what stopped my bikes being pinched, not the shed.

I've now upgraded to Kryptonite New York chains and really always viewed the Asgard as a fancy raincover.

I've got an Asgard.
I don't see it as something impenetrable, but more as a big sound amplifier.
Breaking in would make a lot of noise I'd reckon.

The security will stop most opportunists, but the noise of breaking in might put off some.

I'm having condensation issues with mine though in winter, despite adding vents either side near roof level (probably voiding any warranty)

I want to insulate the roof to stop this, but then I also don't want to dampen any sound.

@kayak23 You can get a spray on anti-condensation coating, white as well so should brighten it up. It's usually sold for shipping containers. Trickle vents should be positioned at the top and bottom at either end.
