A metal shed is also much more secure than a plastic shed, making it a great choice for storing expensive or high-end bikes.

Another benefit of metal sheds is that they are customizable, you can paint and finish the metal according to your preferences. Metal also offers a more polished and refined appearance than plastic, which can often look cheap or flimsy.
