Bike shed for empty front driveway

Morning,

I am looking for a bike shed to sit on our paved brick double driveway. We don't own a car and want somewhere to keep the family bikes, pushchair etc so they're out of the house.

It doesn't have to be super secure as we don't own expensive bikes, and we'd prefer not to have a big metal one (had one in our previous house).

I've attached a recent photo. Unfortunately we don't have a wall / gate to hide the shed !

You could use screening to make it less of an eyesore.

One of our neighbours has a semi submerged wooden bike shed. It only sticks out about 1m so they can still see the street over the top. It's only really a a small bus shelter with a bike rack in though.

You could buy a cycle stand and then build a shed/shelter around it. To make it look nicer screen it with plants and use more expensive materials.

If you haven't already, check planning/restrictive covenants to make sure you can have a bike shed in front of your house.

Thanks all, all good ideas! The submerged idea is quite cool! Ill definitely check building regs.!
