Benefits of a Cycle Shelter
Cycle shelters show consideration for your cycling staff, students or visitors, providing a safe, secure and dry place for them to store their bikes easily. Installing a shelter can encourage more people to cycle and can also help to incentivise cycling all year round- even in wet weather as pupils or visitors will know that their bikes will be dry and ready for use at the end of the day.- Reduces clutter of bicycles on your grounds and creates a tidier outside area
- Creates a safer environment by reducing trip hazards
- Encourages cycling as cyclists are reassured that their bike is protected
- Keeps bikes dry and sheltered from the weather
- Reduces risk of theft and vandalism as the bicycles can be secured to the cycle racks
- Space saving - A standard sized cycle shelter only takes up the space of one car and can store up to 10 bicycles!
- Makes more car parking spaces available if more people cycle
- Our cycle shelters are available BREEAM compliant

A Detailed Look at our Cycle Shelters
1. Roofing
Our cycle shelters are fitted with 5mm solid polycarbonate roof sheets as standard which are available in clear or opal. Our clear view polycarbonate is the most popular option as it offers all-round visibility therefore reducing the risk of theft and vandalism.
2. Available Finish
All of our cycle shelters are available in three finishes:
- Galvanised for ultimate corrosion protection against rot and rust
- Powder coated to any standard RAL colour to enable the shelter to fit in with your current surroundings
- Galvanised and powder coated offering you ultimate corrosion protection whilst also achieving the colour that you require.
3. Available Colours
As mentioned above, our shelters are available powder coated to any standard RAL colour to enable the shelter to fit in with your surroundings, alternatively you can create a feature of your shelter by selecting a contrasting colour. Other non standard RAL colours are available on request at an additional cost, please click here to view our standard and full RAL colour chart >
4. Cycle Racks
Our shelters are all fitted with Sheffield Linked Cycle Racks which are constructed from 42.4mm steel tube. We can supply our cycle shelters as BREEAM compliant if required, please call us on 0800 389 072 or email us for more information. You can also choose to have your cycle racks powder coated to match the colour of your shelter.
5. Unique Clamping System
Our range of cycle shelters are designed using a ‘Unique Clamping System’ which reduces the need to drill holes in the panels. Over drilling voids the manufacturer’s warranty and can cause the panels to bulge and water to leak into the shelter. The clamping system also makes the shelter resilient and weather proof.
6. Base Plates
Our cycle shelters are bolted to the ground using base plates, avoiding any major drilling and digging on site. A suitable concrete base is required; if you do not have a suitable concrete base, we can install one for you at an additional cost, please contact us for more details.
