Motorcycle Shed...

[Berty5000]

Anybody had one of these or similar?

Wonder if it would count as "garaged" for insurance purposes?

My insurance specifies 'brick built garage ' at the quote stage, I suspect most do. Worth asking though.

[Berty5000]

Yeah, I think mine says concrete garage.

Thing is, I don't see how one of these steel sheds is less secure than my old prefab garage.

Berty,
I haven't got a clue what the insurance would think about it. You're better asking them.
If you are tempted to go metal be aware there can be a lot of condensation in the winter months, I.e. 11 months of the year.
It's not insurmountable but it can mean extra work to make it suitable bike storage.
Upt.

I had similar for many years. It was galvanised heavy steel and had an up and over door. I told the insurance company about it, I can't remember if it lowered my insurance or not but I slept well as I put an alarm on it too. 

[Berty5000]

Yeah, these things look top notch. Very heavy and secure.

My main concern is condensation although it has lower and upper vents in the sides as well as vents across the ridge line. Hopefully these would be sufficient when putting away a warm and wet bike, but during the winter this would be testing.

I'm also not so keen on the OSB inside floor, although if it is treated then could be OK.

I have a metal shed. Just a 10x10 garden shed, not a posh job like the one shown.
I lined the inside roof with polystyrene 1 or 2 mm and stuck it on with walpaper paste. after a weak solouton of PVA was brushed on. There is no condensation.
For flooring I laid a large plasic sheet ( damp proof membrane) then some sand and then paving slabs and then a single sheet of cushion floor.
