Overview

Trinity Timber Cycle Shelter Installation Cwrt Pentwmpath, Llay Wrexham

This project formed part of a wider regeneration scheme that transformed the site of a former warden-controlled apartment complex into a modern, energy-efficient community. The development consists of 17 apartments and 8 bungalows, carefully designed to meet living standards while prioritising sustainability and long-term value.

As part of the site’s external amenities, we provided a purpose-built cycle storage facility, designed, supplied and installed to encourage sustainable transport use among residents. The structure is a 16-space Trinity Timber Wooden Bike Shelter measuring 6100mm wide by 3500mm deep and 2100mm high. Built around a robust galvanised steel framework, the shelter offers long-term durability and resistance to the elements, making it well-suited to a residential setting.

The shelter features cladding on all sides using PAR treated timber in a hit-and-miss configuration, providing both visual appeal and natural ventilation. A timber clad single swing gate was incorporated into the design and fitted with a secure digital combination lock, ensuring controlled access while maintaining ease of use for residents. The roof structure was completed with galvanised box profile sheets, complemented by neatly detailed flashings to the front and sides for enhanced weather protection and a clean finish.

Internally, the shelter was fitted with 8 Sheffield Cycle Stands, providing secure, organised parking for up to 16 bicycles. The layout was carefully considered to maximise usability within the available footprint, ensuring convenient access and efficient use of space.

All components were supplied in kit form and assembled on location by our specialist team. Works included installation of the galvanised steel framework and timber cladding, fitting of the roofing and flashings, installation and adjustment of the access gate and locking mechanism and final positioning and fixing of the cycle stands.

This project demonstrates a commitment to quality construction, thoughtful design and sustainable living. The cycle shelter not only complements the architectural character of the development but also supports environmentally conscious travel choices, adding long-term value for residents.
