You don't have enough room inside your house to store your bike. But you don't want to let it get caught in the rain, or worse, stolen!
Then an outdoor bike shelter is just what you need.
It lets you store your bike, scooter or scooter directly in your garden, away from prying eyes.

For smaller budgets, a tarpaulin or plastic bike shelter is a great alternative. However, you'll need to couple it to a padlock to maximize safety. We've shown you a model in 5, but there are many other models to choose from.
In any case, a bike shelter is a major investment, and it's worth thinking twice before buying one.
If you simply want to protect your bike from the rain, you might consider buying a simple bike cover.
