I have a Keter Darwin plastic garden shed and they are poor quality.

A motorcycle sized timber shed can be had for less than £600, assuming you have a level solid base to install it on, or if you want to go large a 16' x 10' DIY assembly delivered to your door can be had from £1,600

I have the monimoto 7. I'm still happy with it for two years now. It's independent and I use it on two bikes. Battery last for one year and it works with a FOB witch I find easy to use. In Belgium 39 € yearly subscription. Off course there are others on the market

Is there anything available in plastic ?

There are many garden plastic containers - we have a blanket-chest type one, very robust and dry too.
Not a bad idea I have a plastic garden store and it is quite good. The thing is they tend to have plastic floors.

OK, never thought about the condensation, not too fussed about security, a sheds a shed, more worried about the weather, and convenience. Soo a wooden shed... they tend to be big for the size of the door opening, more research is needed.

The points are, something compact when the bike is out and takes up little space when it is in, for the construction and materials it should not be expensive and it could have inox materials, if you are a handyman it can be a DIY and customizable to yours needs, and last a container is too big and a really awful box in the backyard.

Anyway, it was only an idea...
I really like that, very thunderbirds... needlessly complicated? maybe, lots to go wrong? Hmmm...Don't forget I have an automatic motor bike, (and used to own a Moto Guzzi)... definitely the coolest shed I've seen.
Edit Bloody hell Grammarly has spell checked the quote, sorry.

What's the point of it being retractable? Nothing more than a reassuringly expensive motorcycle cover and what a procedure to have to go through each time you want to get a motorcycle in/out. if I was a gambling man I'd wager if you did have the access you'd have a proper job brick built garage.

If you really want a metal shed, but I dont think you do, check out shipping containers

For my two penn'orth an alarm can be more trouble than it's worth, a better option would be a tracker. I have neither.
