How to make your shed secure: Best motorcycle storage & insurance

#Shed #Security #Motorcycle
Bennetts motorcycle insurance classes locked shipping containers, metal sheds and wooden sheds on a concrete base (it can still have a wooden floor) as garaging, so in this video we'll show you how to keep your motorcycle as secure as possible. Watch for in-depth advice on the shed's construction, location, door security, internal security like ground anchors, and more tips on the best way to store your motorbike.

Bennetts motorcycle insurance now classes locked shipping containers, metal sheds and wooden sheds on a concrete base (it can still have a wooden floor) as garaged. This doesn't change any previous policies, and simply makes things better for people who don't have a garage.

Have to say just from watching this review I will be insuring both my bikes through Bennetts next year. A very helpful video indeed

Great video with some excellent suggestions. Wonderful channel that's valuable for all bikers. I have just finished securing my wooden shed and double garage for my 3 bikes. Have a few more additions for more peace of mind. Nothing is foolproof but just make it harder to steal is the way to go.

Some really good tips on this video, I don’t even own a bike BUT . . . . I do have a shed that could do with security updating. Thanks for sharing.

Just built myself an 8x10 shed in the back garden. Beefed the doors and windows up and have anchors fitted. Also have a Ring device that alarms me of anyone in there and also videos it too. Good shout on the extinguisher and will be fitting a smoke alarm too. It's only for my little Vespa 125 and occasionally my sons Yam R1 but it's better than being parked out on the road.

Wow! Awesome security options. It gets to a point though that it would be easier to steal a car out of a garage, than the bike from the shed. Any house door or garage door could be busted open with the standard locks they have. These shed security ideas will make it like Fort Knox!

A lot to think about.
But all good stuff.
Certainly a couple of ideas I will be adopting.
Happy travels

Security. Should be allowed to defend yourself and your property using reasonable force, without fear of being prosecuted.

Baby alams work well just leave it in your shed and the other unit beside your bed .CCTV Cameras are cheap to buy now and some decent quality ones for around £40 but a dog that barks will be a great option and one that bites them even better.

My dad made a kinda sheep pen on the drive with solid wood walls all the sides and a lockable gate at the front. Cheaper less ugly/imposing than a steel lock-up.
Nosey cats used to get in but no human interference . Worked a treat!

Its easier to cut the frame then repair it later. Also you may have overlooked window bars to prevent breaking out the windows. Also driveway alarms directed at your shed/garage work great at night to wake you if your sleeping. Lastly hardwired cameras that cover the property might catch details of the theft should it happen like clothing, facial features or potential vehicle descriptions. Ask me how I know this. I was a victim too!
That's why I use a metal shed with double nutted bolts instead of screws!

[michaelwalker]

I all ways throw in a few random turns when I'm nearly home, a few left and rights to see if I'm been followed.
At my previous house I didn't keep the bike there, I would get home put it in the back then later on remove it to my mums.
The shed in the back had a CHAD on the wall saying " WOT NO BIKE". 😂
This was due to me working away all week and my mum being at home with two dogs that barked at a sparrows fart.

I love the way you needed to add the disclaimer "don't breathe back in.... Though the tube". 🤣

Great video, looks like you're in a bad area 🤔. Worse than New York or Chicago, in the USA.
Excellent advice. God bless 🙏

this video is really good actually, quite surprised

If you're thinking of going with a shed but have to go with a wooden floor. Get a large sheet of chequer plate the size of you bike and screw it to the floor where your bike will be. Then drill through it and the wooden floor for a ground anchor and get a large steel plate that will fit between the floor joists, 1ft x 1ft is a good size, and drill that to match (you will have to plan this out before you start). Then sandwich the floor with the ground anchor and chequer plate on the inside and the steel plate underneath, use the bolts that came with the anchor with nuts under the bottom of the plate, once tight, smash the threads over that are sticking out of the nuts with a hammer so they can't be undone. With your bike sat on the chequer plate and all locked up it's a big job to rip anything up, weak point will be the chain, so as good as into a solid floor.
