The highest side of the roof touches the wall of my house. I had put some kit between the wall and the shed. During the summer the kit broke of. So water could leak in .
In heavy rain condition some water was indeed coming it. Not that much but it needs to be solved.
I have applied some roof tape (bitumen) I hope this will do the trick.
The roof also touches my neighbors' garage. This connection also leaks a little bit. This still needs to be solved.
Both motors in the shed were sold to make room for two newer ones.

some issues
I am now using the shed for half a year. so it is time for a evaluation
The roof does not leak.
The concrete floor is still in one piece.
Doors are in one piece. I was afraid they were not sturdy enough.
I made a few improvements.
Rain could come in via the flour. The rain drips via the door on the piece of floor outside the shed. Then it can float in. This is a problem when it is raining for a long time. I mounted a sheet of wood on the bottom of the door to guide the rain away from of the concrete floor. This helps a lot but there is still a piece of floor that can get wet.
The concrete flour is 5 cm above the garden. I made a concrete slope to make it easier to get the bikes in and out.

Motorbike shed pictures
Some pictures of the shed
Building has not finished. I still need to do a few more things.
-Add concrete to fill the room where the wooden frame used to be.
-Find a better solution for the drain
-Add a second layer of paint.
-Add better finish for roof/wall connection above the doors.
-Make it possible for the right door to open more. Angle is now limited to 120 degrees. 180 would be better.

motor shed
Start building motorshed
I own a Yamaha YZF600 Thundercat and an old Suzuki gs450E. To keep them safe from rain I need a shed.
I could not find a off the shelf product so I decided to build one myself.
I have made a concreate floor 10 cm thick. And build the shed on it.
The size of the shed:
240 cm deep
240 cm widle.
200cm height left
180 cm height right
Building the roof.
Building doors using leftover wood from different projects. Wood may not be suitable for outdoor use. I will paint it with good quality paint and see what happens.
Painting the doors.
Next step is to paint the rest of the shed.
Things to do:
-Paint the shed
-Fix drainage
-Add wall outlets.
-Add light and a light switch
