A bike left out in rain and snow rusts faster, and in an open spot it is easier to steal. Bike shelters and storage units solve both problems: the roof protects against precipitation, while enclosed storage units and lockable structures keep out unauthorised people.
Estimate how many bikes will need to be stored at peak season and leave room for expansion. Place the shelter close to the entrance, in a clearly visible and well-lit spot. If a roof is not needed, bike racks and holders are a more economical solution.
Estimate how many bikes gather at peak season and leave room for expansion. Our shelters come in different sizes – from a few spaces for a courtyard to large structures for schools and businesses. The space options available for each model are stated in the product description.
Polycarbonate is lighter, lets daylight through and is impact-resistant. Toughened glass looks more prestigious, stays transparent for longer and goes well with glass façades. You will find which covering is available for a particular model in its technical data.
Shelters are fixed with anchors into firm paving, and some can also be set in concrete. So plan a level concrete or paving block surface in advance. Also think about where water from the roof will drain, so that it does not collect at the entrance.
In an open location, rain and snow often fall at an angle, so a roof alone is not enough. Side panels block wind, driving rain and snowdrifts, and the bikes stay dry. It is worth facing the panels towards the prevailing wind.
This depends on the model and its configuration. So that bikes can not only be parked under a roof but also securely locked, it is worth installing a bike rack under the shelter. Check which racks will suit a particular shelter when ordering.
The frame is made of hot-dip galvanised steel profile, which can additionally be powder-coated, or of stainless steel. A galvanised frame is a practical and durable choice, while stainless steel suits prestigious locations. The available options vary by model.
Regularly clear leaves and branches from the roof, and snow after heavy snowfall. Wash polycarbonate or glass with water and a mild detergent; do not use abrasive products that may scratch the surface. Inspect the fixing anchors once a season.
