I'd have thought one of those plastic garden tool stores would do.

Something like this

without the outrageous price.

Suggested reading: The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan.
So far 11 books with a total of 9353 pages. (I lost interest in the
middle of book 7.)

As Robert Jordan is dead, someone else is continuing the series.

It will probably continue until time ends.

I've got a 3m x 3m by 2m high shed made from plastic coated profiled
steel sheet at the chateau, which I got for less than 400 Euros at
Castorama. TBF the door arrangement (sliding doors in the middle of the
front wall) isn't ideal for bike though. Takes the KX65, three mountain
bikes, FOAD mower etc. though.

I could do with something similar for here. In fact these look much the
same:
