Hey guys so I have my bike outside in my back yard locked up with a gate but I don't have a garage and I have it covered with a cover but when it rains it gets wet... :(
Does anyone know a good shed or how to built a shed?

Is garage an option? Garages are nice.

Google knows how to build an awesome shed. I put together a plan for one a couple years back, it was going to cost me at least $1500 building it from scratch. Didn't end up building it though.

I can't put a garage because here in Ny you need permits and all this bs lol
So I might be making a shed but I'm wondering if there's any good ones out there that are cheap.

Garage or Shed...I have been working on my shed for awhile now. I see a shed as a small structure to hold one or a couple things and a garage as a large structure to hold everything that doesn't fit in the house, lol. My shed is 8 feet wide 12 feet long, 6 feet on low side and 7 1/2 feet on the high side. I didn't go all out on building materials as you can see by the roof panels but so far it has cost me about half the cost of a pre-built kit and is sturdier in my opinion. It isn't complete yet but so far I have spent less then $600 and the bike fits nicely in it. I designed the shed based off what I saw at the local Lowe's. The whole shed is made with treated wood, 2x4x8's, 2x4x10's, 3/4 inch sheets for floor and 1/2 sheets for walls. I have some family coming over this weekend to hopefully finish it up, putting a door and a ramp in. You can do a search for "how to build a shed" and you should come up with a bunch of sites.

You may need to check the building codes anyway, especially since your in Brooklyn. In my area if your shed/building is 8x10 or smaller you don't need a permit but anything over that you do. I didn't get a permit, around here as long as your neighbors don't blow you in for it youre good to go,lol.

What about a portable garage...the ones with the tube frames and a full tarp cover with roll up door. I use one for storing my boat wintertime. I've checked under it in the dead of winter with three feet of snow outside and the grass inside was still showing.

Good looking shed you got. I just saw this post or I would have recommended a large doghouse also. Just over size the plans for height and width. Doghouses can get you past most building codes.
Thank you!! WOW a huge dog house would of been a great idea!! didnt pass my mind!!! :eek:
