Cycle security - outside storage at home

[Jenkins]

Yet another vote for the Asgard. I've got the 6 bike sized one which they installed on a paving slab base which I'd had laid ready.

Up and over's need additional security, like ours. Bit of a PITA to open, but no-one has got in !

I'd have one at a push - have looked at various ground anchor solutions that lock the door in place.

A friend of mine made his own garage doors out of 5mm steel square steel

Good job! Visited a friend over the weekend for tips, his door is wooden but it's reinforced with steel and so far so good.

In the UK, I think that most insurance companies would like this.

Haha! I'm hoping my insurance isn't too badly affected by this.

I have an Asgard twin, its sat on an existing paved area so the lack of a base was not an issue but condensation is do it also has a dehumidifier in it. I did think of relocating it and putting an Asgard Sentry in its place but they only sell that with door hinged to the right side. One bike is housed in a timber shed which was the subject of an attempted robbery but I put a D lock on it which was sufficient deterrent.

I'm a little against timber as before the reinforced door they have now my friend showed me his security video of 2 scrotes slowing dismantling his previous door. They were eventually disturbed and fled but it was worrying.

Currently have a brick coal shed I use with mortise and padlocks, I'm fortunate enough that the rear of my house is extremely secure and is in a very low crime street.
Prior to this was in a very high crime area with just a yard and used an Asguard with camera pointing towards it. Couple of attempts by scroats to break into it proved non successful and always recommend them to people for this reason.
Gave it to a friend a few years back who uses it in his garden on a concrete base with some scaffold rings similar to these set into it to run a chain through.

Hes never had any issues.

If the base is as I want it to be then setting something like that is my aim, good idea

If Drago were here, I'm sure he'd recommend one of these: https://www.ant-supplies.uk/bits-and-bobs/blank-firing-alarm-mines.html. Basically, a device that fires a blank shotgun cartridge when someone comes into contact with the tripwire!

Surprised that's legal. Says not to deploy anywhere kids might have access. If kids today anything like we were, that rules out everywhere.

I use a bad tempered terrier to keep my bikes safe, she hasn't let me down yet.

Asgard Shed's really cant be beat. Yes they are a little expensive but you do get what you pay for.

I've had mine 10 years now- so that works out at about £50/ year (they were cheaper back then). It's still in fine condition.

You get 10% off Asgard if you’re a Cycling UK member. I imagine there are similar affiliate deals around too

Asgard 10%

Ill keep that in mind thanks, they have 10% off some sheds ATM but if that ends before I can buy its worth looking at this.

Hopefully things have improved but last year they were quoting 9 months for delivery

15% discount if you are a blue light card holder
My bikes are kept in the garage & until recently secured with ground/wall anchors. Despite having a pretty secure roller door, the roof was a weak point, so now have an Asgard shed in the garage for 4 bikes. It's a quality bit of kit for bike storage 👍 I paid full price the end of last year, but now have a blue light card
