Shed Security

[Primal Scream]

For beefing up the security in a shed, consider one of these, to bolt your bikes to.

After having my pride and joy Focus Cayo and a 5 year old Specialized Allez pinched from my double locked shed on Friday night I now have to start planning for the future.
Through a 'contact' I got the police to come out, and even though the shed is very substantial, they said that with any wooden structure you are going to struggle to secure it from would be thieves.
So, how do you out there secure your bikes in a shed? I have some ideas floating in my head at the moment but was wondering if any of you have any suggestions. Have to try looking ahead to when the insurance is settled to make sure I don't have to experience this hollow/depressed feeling over the theft ever again.

I think you should really just treat your shed as somethingto keep the weather off and not rely on it to keep you bike secure, and to buy a floor shackle?

Ideally yes!

My grandfather fitted a rape alarm to the door of his shed then had a small string hidden to a pin so that he could disarm it before opening the door. It doesn't half frighten the living s... out of you if you forget to unhook it and the arming/disarming pin drops down into the corner of the shed where you cant find it as you pull the door open.

I also think this is a good solution.

What's the world coming to if someone's grandad can't spend a few hours down the shed without the risk of being raped.... Perverts I tell you !

+1 for sourcing a good 'Sold Secure' ground anchor from a motorcycle shop. Mine's still there from my last motorbike and is rawlbolted to the concrete floor, then each rawlbolt head has a ballbearing on top of it (to deter drilling) with a cap keeping them in place.

3 Expensive bikes in the house, 2 cheap Decathlon bikes in the shed.

I have gone to paranoid level on my garage.

The vehicle doors are 2.5 Inch indusrial fire doors with a lead lining. The inside has two hasps and clasps and top bolts on both doors

The pedestrian doors is 1.5 inch plywood with a dexion fitted top to bottom 6 inches apart to stop an electric saw.The door has a lockable slide bolt and a hasp and clasp

I have two set of triple 10 aluminium ladders hung horizontaly across the windows, the ladders are locked and chained to the wall at each end.

My bikes are chained to a huge eyebolt fitted to the wall with 4 x 4" bolts with the nut part now ground off.

I have a quality alarm system (I work in the alarm trade and was at one time an alarm engineer) consisting of a mains alarm with battery back up plus contacts on all doors and a dual technology movement detector

Not paranoid, just sense! Glad too see that you've gone to those levels.

The alarm system has a internal sounder called a Master Blaster which is so loud it can damage your hearing, I have it set for a nintety second shut down, I have an external sounder and strobe as well.

Crikey! Aren't decent chains expensive.. An Almax Immobiliser IV plus lock, long enough to secure two bikes is over £150......

It depends, if you have a bike worth £200 or less then it is expensive however if your steed is worth some heavy dosh then it is probably worth it
