All,

I am hoping someone can help me! I am looking for a solution to bike and bin storage in a small front garden in HOP. Ideally neither would be visible from the street and both would be reasonably discrete when looking out the front window of the house. Does anyone have any homemade or professionally made suggestions?

I think I have seen a house locally that has a wooden frontage behind the front fence that is high enough to have the bikes underneath and the bins and also has plants/ flowers on top so it actually looks nice and doesnt dominate the garden..but I cant remember where I saw it! Does anyone have any idea where such a structure could be bought or if I am better off trying to make it myself?

Also in other news, a bike was stolen from our front garden, locked with a strong lock to a sheffield stand. The value of the bike was mininal to the point its not worth claiming on the insurance but just another reminder to anyone that might keep a better bike in their front garden to use a very good lock and keep your eyes peeled.
