Can anyone recommend a container that I can keep bikes in the garden ?

We can’t afford a shed right now but the children would like bikes and I wondered if a container for the garden might be a cheaper option? Or would they go rusty in there?
I have a small 4 by 4 foot keter storage box that I put garden chairs in and they all went mouldy so I would like something that would keep them nice and preferably big enough for 3 bikes (maybe 5 if I we get some too)

You can sometimes get some really good deals on sheds on eBay, particularly if you can take them down for someone and have transport. Also worth knowing if you are looking to keep them dry in a fairly secure back garden or to keep them safe and how big the bikes are, if you need something specialised or not. We have a box from this lot, and it's keeping our stuff dry, so you could try their bike sheds, gardensanctuary.co.uk/collections/bike-storage, but if it was valuable, I think someone could get into it. These are much stronger, but cost more https://www.asgardsss.co.uk/bike-cycle-storage? and https://www.trimetals.co.uk/product-category/bicycle-storage/

Anything g really but make sure you put in a proper concreted anchor point , you need to think about theft as well . More likely to be stolen before they go rusty otherwise .
