I would of put a skin of chicken wire in between the inner and outer walls to make it harder get through them. A battery reciprocating saw would make short work of that shed otherwise. But that might be of a overkill. ---

Would a brick ‘pen’ about three/four feet high full of anchors and locks and things that they could have climbed into but couldn’t have lifted the bike out of (or, come to think of it, the car…) _but would be seen from the road trying to so_ have been a better solution? Just a thought! ---

From what I can see in the pics. I would be tempted to put some high gates on that drive too and padlock them shut. Can’t have enough barriers. Might be useful when your away for any period of time. Just a thought. ---

Good effort - but you do realise temporary structure means something erected for less than 28 days? It’s near enough to the public highway to def need planning permission I’d say. Hope you don’t have to take it down after all the effort. ---

some one mention CCTV why not give it a go you could get a nice little wireless setup, right under that light (which may I add looks like a guard post) that way they do, do anything you can film them… ---

I thought you were taking the mick until I scrolled down and saw the other photos 😊 My dad’s done something very similar in the back garden, it has it’s own circuit breakers, a heater running on scrap petrol/diesel mix from where he works (it’s a bit of a workshop thingy too), guard lights etc. It’s pretty impressive and nobody’s bothered trying to break in to steal the bike… although it is a very quiet area he lives in. There’s also an air rifle at the back door just in case anybody’s stupid enough to try stealing the bike, or in case any local animals are stupid enough to try eating his strawberries 😃 ---

My neighbour made whole side extention with out permission…other neighbours told me he worked for the old bill and his wife for the council…I would be well pissed off if they hassel me for a stupid shed. ---
