Documented project · Bike storage
An independent reading of Vikkie Lee’s compact bike-shed project: front double access plus a side opening. Use the original build account, then check your bicycles and the space outside both openings.

The author’s title lists 7×4 ft. It does not establish our verified maximum exterior, usable interior or clear opening measurements. Check the original plan definitions and your actual site.

Requires each actual bicycle and its retrieval movement; no count is inferred.
The original account documents a compact build with front double access and a separate side door. Its listed 7×4 ft size is a useful starting point for discovery.
Before comparing a site limit, establish whether the author’s dimensions describe the frame, cladding or another boundary. Usable interior and roof overhang remain separate measurements.
Choose the bicycle you use most. Leave the other stored items in place, open the relevant doors and try taking that bicycle completely outside.
Include the handlebar width, steering motion, threshold and a place to stand outside. Our diagram is an inspection sequence; no exact source geometry or verified number of bikes has been imported.
A side door can help only where the site permits its operation and approach. A fence or stored object beside it can make that option ineffective.
Use the public original guide to understand the author’s build. Plans are offered through signup, and the author notes that the cut list concerns the framework rather than all cladding. Confirm the delivered file before relying on its contents.
A compact dedicated enclosure puts the focus on parking and taking the bicycle outside. It can suit a site where outside handling is acceptable, once the actual entry and retrieval are verified.
A walk-in arrangement intentionally reserves an indoor aisle or standing area alongside the parked equipment. Consider that direction if you want to sort supplies or work beside a bicycle indoors; measure the task as well as the bikes.
Do not compare these directions by a nominal footprint or bike count alone. Check the person, doors, other items and the complete movement. Neither schematic establishes a buildable design or verified capacity.
Keep the parts that match your task. Confirm these remaining conditions before buying or building:
This study has no transferable geometry. The tools show its context alongside your current private project, and ask for your own measurements.
Example usable interior, openings and task inputs. Outdoor turns and construction remain unassessed.
The selected nominal footprint carries across. Your yard, setbacks and delivery dimensions must still be entered.
The project supplies the task context. No prices, quotes or build method are invented.
Nominal floor dimensions only. Material height, opening deductions, roof factor, waste and rates remain unknown.
