Ducati Scrambler 800 – Extra-Wide Door ArmadilloBoxes Installation
Ducati Scrambler 800 secure outdoor motorcycle storage
Introduction
The Ducati Scrambler 800 is a modern classic motorcycle with upright ergonomics, wide handlebars, and a relaxed riding position. When garage space isn’t available, outdoor storage needs to provide genuine security while remaining easy to use for regular riding.
This installation shows how an ArmadilloBoxes steel motorcycle storage unit with an extra-wide door provides secure, weatherproof outdoor storage for a Ducati Scrambler 800 while improving ease of access.
Customer requirement
The owner required outdoor motorcycle storage that:
-
securely accommodates a Ducati Scrambler 800
-
prioritises ease of use for frequent riding
-
includes an extra-wide door to improve access
-
delivers genuine theft resistance and weather protection
The real-world challenge
Scrambler-style motorcycles typically feature wide handlebars and upright riding positions. Narrow door openings can make everyday storage awkward and increase the risk of handlebar contact when manoeuvring the bike.
A suitable storage solution needs generous door clearance, rigidity, and stability to allow smooth, repeatable access.
The solution
An ArmadilloBoxes secure motorcycle storage unit specified with an extra-wide door was selected to suit the Ducati Scrambler 800’s dimensions and ergonomics. The rigid steel construction forms a strong base layer of security, while the extra-wide door opening allows confident roll-in access without tight steering angles.
For owners comparing options, the ArmadilloBoxes size guide helps identify suitable unit widths and door configurations for scrambler and modern classic motorcycles.
A steel unit also provides a stronger security foundation than timber sheds, which is why many riders review motorcycle security options alongside their storage choice.

Ducati Scrambler 800 storage FAQs
Will a Ducati Scrambler 800 fit in an ArmadilloBoxes unit?
Yes. A suitably sized ArmadilloBoxes unit with an extra-wide door comfortably accommodates the Ducati Scrambler 800 in typical configurations.
Why choose an extra-wide door for a scrambler motorcycle?
An extra-wide door improves ease of access and reduces the risk of handlebar contact during storage and removal.
Is a steel motorcycle shed more secure than a wooden shed?
Steel storage units provide a much stronger base level of security than timber sheds, which can be forced quickly.
Do I need a concrete base?
No. An ArmadilloBox does not require a concrete base. The unit is structurally sound and can be installed directly onto grass or gravel without damaging the sub-base. Its own weight keeps it stable even before the motorcycle is stored inside.
The units are very rigid and can be packed during installation to bring the door square, allowing accurate alignment on uneven ground. However, like any structure, they should not be installed where water is allowed to pool, and the ground should be free-draining.
