Triumph Scrambler secure outdoor motorcycle storage

Introduction

The Triumph Scrambler is a modern classic motorcycle with upright ergonomics, wide handlebars, and rugged styling. When garage space isn’t available, outdoor storage needs to protect the bike’s finish while remaining easy to access 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 Triumph Scrambler while keeping everyday access simple and controlled.

Customer requirement

The owner required outdoor motorcycle storage that:

• securely accommodates a Triumph Scrambler

• prioritises ease of use for frequent riding

• provides genuine theft resistance rather than cosmetic deterrence

• protects the motorcycle from year-round weather exposure

The real-world challenge

Scrambler-style motorcycles typically feature wide handlebars, upright riding positions, and higher ground clearance. Narrow sheds and restricted door openings make everyday access awkward and increase the risk of contact when manoeuvring the bike.

A suitable storage solution needs sufficient door clearance, rigidity, and stability to allow smooth, repeatable access without compromise.

The solution

A 1200mm wide ArmadilloBoxes secure motorcycle storage unit with an extra-wide door was selected to suit the Triumph Scrambler’s dimensions and upright stance. The rigid steel construction provides a strong base layer of security, while the extra-wide door opening allows confident, straightforward roll-in access.

For owners comparing options, the ArmadilloBoxes size guide helps identify the most suitable unit width for classic, scrambler, and modern 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.

Triumph Scrambler storage FAQs

Will a Triumph Scrambler fit in a 1200mm ArmadilloBoxes unit?
Yes. The 1200mm ArmadilloBoxes unit with an extra-wide door provides ample clearance for the Scrambler’s wide handlebars and upright stance in typical configurations.

Is an extra-wide door beneficial for a scrambler motorcycle?
Yes. An extra-wide door improves ease of use and reduces the risk of contact when storing and removing a scrambler-style bike regularly.

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.
