Fire pits are a great way for outdoorsy people to get more use out of their backyard during the colder months. They also make for nice gathering spots at other times of the year, where you can roast marshmallows and weenies, talk to friends or just unwind after a long day at work. Sitting in a circle on your patio just doesn't have the same feel to it without a fire. Everyone would just lose interest quickly and walk away.

Riding a bicycle every day or just during the weekends is a great way to stay healthy. Cycling makes the whole body move which helps improve blood flow, lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health too. Since your bike takes care of you, it's important that you take care of it too. Regular maintenance is a good first step but what can keep your bike safe from the elements and prying is a bike shed. Bicycle sheds provide the space necessary for you to store your bike but they can be much more than just that if you know what to look for in one.

What to Consider

Size

The size of the shed will depend on that of the bike but usually there are two types sheds when it comes to width. Bike sheds for road bikes are going to be anywhere between 38 cm and 46 cm wide, whilst sheds for mountain/ hybrid bikes are between 51 cm and 61 cm wide. You'll need to measure the height and length of your bicycle too and take into consideration the accessories that come with it. Usually if you have only one bike, you'll need a shed that's about 1.8 m long and about 60 cm wide. 2 bikes will require a shed of the same length and width of 90 cm. Just add about 30 cm of width for every bike.

Have you ever found yourself thinking about the beautiful things gone by, eras you admire, imagining how you’d have lived then? Congratulations, you’re a dreamer! It’s not rare for dreamers to experience feelings of nostalgia, even for eras they haven’t lived in; thankfully, there are ways to overcome these feelings, one of them being spicing up the décor. Yes, you read this right, the décor of your home can be the means to travel in time as in the case with relying on stylish pieces of retro furniture that would also allow you to express your own unique personal style. At first glance, the style seems pretty uniform, retro referring to the past, however, when you get to know it better it becomes clear it’s very versatile as it encompasses various decades like the 50s, 60s and 70s and might even cross over with vintage, preceding the 50s.
