The best storage sheds combine protection, organization, convenience, and room to grow. If you’re storing bicycles, golf carts, ATVs, side-by-sides (UTVs), or other outdoor recreational equipment, a storage shed from Old Hickory Buildings & Sheds provides a secure, attractive place to organize and protect your investment year-round.
Protecting valuable outdoor equipment is just one of the many reasons to invest in a storage shed.
Outdoor recreation equipment is built to handle the outdoors, but constant exposure to rain, snow, sunlight, and changing temperatures can shorten its lifespan and increase maintenance.
A quality portable storage building or shed protects your equipment from the elements while creating a cleaner, safer, and more organized backyard. Instead of filling your garage or leaving equipment scattered around your property, you can create one convenient storage space that keeps everything protected and easy to access.
From bicycles to ATVs and outdoor gear, every type of equipment has unique storage needs.
Utility Sheds are one of the most popular choices for dedicated bike storage. Their traditional gable roof design provides generous floor space for bicycles and e-bikes while leaving plenty of room for helmets, pumps, locks, riding gear, and shelving.
Adding wall-mounted bike hooks, vertical racks, or shelving helps maximize floor space while keeping your equipment organized and easy to access. This shed style is available in a variety of sizes, making it easy to choose a building that fits your current storage needs while providing room for future bikes and outdoor equipment.
If you need additional room for bikes and riding gear without increasing the building’s footprint, the Lofted Barn is an excellent choice. Featuring a traditional gambrel (barn-style) roof, Lofted Barns include up to 8 feet of loft space at no additional cost, giving you extra room to organize your belongings while keeping the main floor open.
The overhead loft is perfect for storing helmets, pumps, locks, riding gear, camping supplies, sporting equipment, storage totes, and seasonal decorations. By moving these items overhead, you can dedicate the main floor to bicycles and e-bikes while still leaving room for larger equipment like ATVs, golf carts, or lawn equipment as your storage needs grow.
If you’re wondering what else you can store in a shed, the possibilities extend well beyond bicycles. With the right size and configuration, a storage shed can provide dedicated space for larger recreational equipment, including:
These vehicles may be designed for outdoor use, but storing them outside year-round can leave them exposed to sun, rain, snow, and changing temperatures. A storage shed helps keep your ATV, golf cart, or UTV covered and protected while giving you a convenient place to organize the gear and accessories that go with it.
When planning your storage space, consider the dimensions and weight of your equipment, the clearance needed to move it in and out, and any additional room you’ll need for accessories.
If you plan to add another ATV, golf cart, or recreational vehicle in the future, choosing a little extra space now can give you room to grow.
One of the biggest advantages of an Old Hickory Buildings & Sheds storage building is the ability to customize it for your specific needs.
Adding a garage door or ramp door can make it easier to move bicycles, golf carts, ATVs, and other wheeled equipment in and out of your building. Instead of lifting heavy equipment through a standard doorway, you can simply roll it directly into the building.
Old Hickory Buildings & Sheds also offers a variety of door and window options that improve convenience while complementing the appearance of your building.
The type of recreational equipment you plan to store should also influence your flooring selection.
Heavier equipment, such as golf carts, ATVs, side-by-sides, and riding lawn equipment, places greater demands on a building’s floor system than bicycles or hand tools.
Customers can choose between two high-quality flooring materials:
For increased weight capacity, both flooring options can be upgraded to:
Before purchasing a shed for heavier recreational vehicles, talk with your local shed dealer about recommendations for your intended use.
Your storage shed should work for the way you use your space. Beyond bikes, ATVs, and other recreational equipment, the right building can give you a dedicated place for items that might otherwise take up valuable space in your garage, driveway, or backyard.
Depending on your needs, you can use your storage building for:
