FAQs
In most cases, you won’t need planning permission to install a metal bike shed in your garden, as long as it complies with permitted development rules — such as not exceeding a certain height, not being installed too close to a boundary, and not being used as living accommodation.
That said, planning regulations can vary depending on your local authority, the size of the shed, and whether your property is in a conservation area or listed.
For full guidance, check out our Shed Planning Permission Guide which explains the UK rules in plain English.

Weatherproof Metal Bike Storage
All of these bike sheds are designed to keep the interiors completely dry, with efficient water runoff and ventilation to keep down the internal humidity.
The only care required is to ensure the shed is anchored against strong winds, and to avoid it taking hard impacts. Wiping down the panels can also help to keep away dirt and insects.
