Bike storage for the garden?

Currently my shed is rammed. There's 1 bike in there, the other bike is in the kitchen/diner area. We used to have a dumb trainer setup but I upgraded to the Zwift Ride bike which goes in the spare bedroom.
Ideally I want both road bikes out of the kitchen/shed & in to their own storage box thing in the garden somewhere.

I've seen all manner of various options. For those of you reading this, have you tried any & can comment either way what was good, what wasn't, why it wasn't etc?

I wouldn't really be wanting to spend too much. Couple £100 ideally. I currently have one of those keter boxes in the garden which right now just stores loads of cuts of wood for the fire. I'm not too sure that'd be ideal for the bikes once empty anyway as I don't think it has massive amounts of airflow.

Asgard is a brand that keeps popping up when I look, however I suspect well out of budget (unless you can score something second hand) and sadly for me won't fit where I want it to.

I think you might struggle to get something secure with the money you're looking to spend..

Yeah after posting this I realised that we'll probably be at massively different price points.
The bikes we have right now are hybrid bikes. The dearest one was probably around £450 when it was bought around 2018.

I suspect some of you will have bikes costing minimum £1000 & some will have significantly upwards of that, so security will be a huge priority for you guys with that kind of money involved.

Now I've had my accident payout, I was looking at getting a 'proper' road bike with a budget of somewhere around £2k, give or take. So maybe I should re-think.

At that price point you should absolutely have a rethink
Others have mentioned Asgard. You won't get better. You would need such super powerful tools to get into one and it would make a horrendous noise that would wake up the neighborhood. They are also fully waterproof as well as bombproof. Yes you pay a premium but what is the cost of piece of mind?

Left field option buy a wooden or plastic shed and a large paving flag, fix an anchor to the flag and lock the bike(s) to that. Anyone capable of running off with a paving flag is too big to stop anyway.

It is an option and a fair one. Though locks can be pretty quick and easy to cut. A decent lock that would withstand a cutting blade for a while would set you back a couple of hundred pounds easy, if not more. 4 bikes in a shed. The money soon adds up.

I bought an Asgard it was very secure and when we finished getting the garage sorted I sold it easily. By the way it only just fitted into a Ford Galaxy and the buyer erected it at his holiday home in the Lake District miles from where he lived.

If your budget is so small, consider building something from old pallets

Given the way the world is going and the dire state of Britain's air defences, that's actually quite attractive. there may be a few more potholes to dodge but at least you can still get out on your bike afterwards assuming your asgard is big enough for you and the bike...
