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?!

    • update - we got a space which is ideal for what we needed at Dulwich storeage (thanks for the suggestion,  ed_pete)
    • I think I am becoming addicted to reporting dog waste and fly tipping - so easy to use, who knows the council might actually put some dog waste bins back up (we used to have one on Ulverscroft Road) and signage to remind careless owners to pick up their dog's mess and put it in a bin - preferably their own bin or a black public one rather than someone's green or blue bin, or leave it on the pavement. So disgusting.
    • I recently had Greg install some radiators and TRVs - he was very professional and efficient, and did the job well! He also helped me out in a pickle with a leaky bathroom towel rail. I'd recommend! Thanks Greg! 
    • Oh dear. Sadly I had a disappointing meal on Saturday night. I should have read Malumbu's review above before I ordered. I thought I'd have a dosa for a change. Our meal arrived very quickly. However the dosa was more like a thick and very soggy pancake. The filling was fine. The sambar (sp?) was fine. The chutneys were not what I was expecting, and had a consistency more like sauces.  That might be my lack of knowledge of South Indian food, but I would have expected the coconut chutney to at least taste a bit like coconut. I left most of the actual dosa. My OH said his aubergine curry was delicious. I don't know whether the problem was that the dosa got soggy due to being wrapped in foil to be delivered, but tbh it didn't look like it had ever been a thin crispy dosa 😥 as I have always had in the past  at South Indian restaurants.
