and Ibby's

Now rather than sitting on the patio, under covers in all weather they have a nice new home. Purpose built to fill a gap at the end of the garden.

It's got a nice concrete floor with cast in ground anchors, good lighting, plenty of sockets and is nice and secure. Now I can actually work on the bike even when the weather is cr*p. :D

There's even room for a couple of Ibby's pushbikes.

Still got a few things to do, but they are just improvements I've thought of already.

Yeah I'm quite chuffed, I've spent far too many hours working on it over the summer when I should have been riding. There was a big raised bed retained by a wall where the shed now is, it took me so long to get rid of that and level the area, and extend the patio up to it. Worth the effort though.

very well made..what is it? can't tell!
Garage? Shed? bike safe thingy?
Either way, better than mine and bigger too. I have three bikes in my shed but its a squeeze, and very damp :-(

And two zip slides for fast access!

Cool, nice place to sit and fettle the bikes, listen to great tunes and have a little heater so your hands don't drop off while conducting winter repairs. :smt020

I have a lovely garage that is minus most of these plus points, but does have a large concreted in Ground Anchor. :smt023

Every biker should have a shed/Garage/Lock-up, I just wish ours was bigger, warmer and had it's own Hifi to blast out the Death Metal. Oh and one of those there bike lifts/work bench things... Might have to sell a kidney to pay for this wish list! :rolleyes:

Ah, music! I forgot about music. Now where did I put that old CD/radio?

Tool rack on wall is next job.
