I am thinking about having a bike shed installed in my front garden, has anyone got anything good/bad to say about either the metal ones or the dulwichgreen.com shed with garden-on-the-roof types?...do they get targeted by robbers? and can they successfully break into them, any information gratefully received. Thank you!

Any determined burglar can break into a bike shed, though options are more restricted if it is in thr front garden. But then again, one could attack such a shed in the small hours.


People seem to suggest on the EDF that if you are going to secure a bike outside, it needs to be to a securely concreted purpose built metal loop (I don't remember the name, but search it on the EDF).

Hi


If you have your bike insured, it's worth checking the T&C's before you invest in a shed, you may find that most policies won't cover it. For what it's worth, putting your bike in a very visible place secured with locks that would require the use of power tools will be enough to put most bike thieves off. You wouldn't want to wake the neighbours would you?!

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
