Mobile holiday homes are a popular investment amongst those who love the great outdoors.
It is relatively common for families to buy a mobile home near their closest walking holiday, cycling holiday or beach holiday spot.
These sorts of holidays often require the transportation of heavy goods, like bicycles, tents, watersports equipment etc. Lugging these items between your permanent residence and your mobile homes can be difficult and frustrating. Perhaps there is no room in your car to transport these things back and forth. Perhaps it makes your car unnecessarily heavy, wasting petrol. For those who fly to their mobile home, transporting heavy goods also represents a great expense.
On the other hand, families can be reluctant to store too many large items in their mobile home, as it can often make them look cluttered and untidy. There could also be fears about security.
Metal sheds
Metal sheds could be an intelligent investment for families with these predicaments. For a reasonable price, these can provide the secure storage space needed to enjoy an outdoor holiday without transporting heavy items.
There are plenty of metal sheds available to buy online which would look attractive outside the front of a mobile home. These sheds could potentially be big enough to store a whole family’s set of bikes, with room for beach toys and hiking gear.
Metal sheds tend to be more secure than sheds made from other materials as well. Most of them are weather-resistant, fire resistant and unlikely to need any maintenance. Many providers will set a lengthy guarantee on its quality.
Security
Needless to say, a strong firm material like this deters thieves from targeting your mobile home. A high-quality padlock or two arguably pay for themselves – by deterring thieves from even thinking about targeting your bike shed.
Families should then be able to leave their holiday items at the location of their holiday, with the confidence that their stuff will remain at their mobile home and in perfect condition.
It’s even possible to invest in storage space that has been approved by the UK’s Loss Prevention Certification Board. Also, keep a lookout for sheds that have received Police Preferred Specification (PPS) grading.
Other Storage Tips
There are other storage methods available for mobile home owners. You could make a makeshift cupboard by setting up a decorative folding screen in the corner of a home, for example.
You could also rent a nearby garage or a beach hut, or simply put up with an untidy living room! However, investing in a high-quality metal shed is arguably the most effective decision in the long run.
This is true not only for mobile home owners. Many cyclists store their bikes in a metal shed outside their permanent residence as well. These sheds can sometimes improve home insurance quotes. Their main benefit though is giving homeowners a simple place to store their goods and the peace of mind that it will stay safe.
