Default Tuff Shed...

Hi all,
I'm planning on making some room in the garage. It would also be nice if theRR had a home of its own so I don't have to rearrange cars/bikes, etc...every time I want to go for a ride. I'd like a nice shed for the bike (to go right next to the garage). I live in a secure, quiet neighborhood, but am planning on a shed with decent strength and the ability to padlock. I also live in fairly temperateweather (northern CA) so not worried about climate control for the bike, just protection from the major elements (we do get high winds) and rain.
Have any of you looked into a similar type of shed? I'm looking at the 6'X8' or 8'X10' Tuff Sheds. I've been searching on the web today, and have seen metal or wood sheds, and varying sizes (I may go larger if I decide to store other things in the shed as well).
If any of you have experience or advice on a little motorcycle shed I'd appreciate hearing from you.
The fabric or plasticcylindrical sheds don't seem substantial enough.

my 07 rr is stored in a shed.... tho the shed is very large... has a polaris snowmobile, a John Deere Lawn mower, the 07 rr and misc items like a full size couch, and the patio furniture. Sorta cramped but i only need to get the mower out before I can take out the rr. So far no ill effects from storing it in the shed.

Off Topic.. So do you fly a Bell 407? Great ship if you do. I don't fly but ride in Eurocopter A-Star B3.

Yep. The 407 is one of my all time favorites. It's been my primary ship for the last ten years. It's nimble like a H500, but far roomier and more powerful and easier throughout the day with hydraulic assist. Love the FADEC.

Before that I had a lot of Astar time. That's a great ship too.

I have a 12' x 16' tuff shed that I use for my bike and shop. I am happy with the space because I am curently woking on the bike and have it stripped down to the frame and have room to put everything in order and out of the way.

just build one yurself, get a nice concrete slab, and bolt some 2x4s in there, frame it, give her a roof and some walls, maybe a roll up door, or garage door, and presto it will look 100 times less redneck than anything you buy at osh, or anywhere else, and will probly be cheaper too!

figure out what size you need then increase it by 25% as your going to want to store more crap in it over time
