8 Space Timber Cycle Shelter The Garret Hotel & Restaurant

Located in the heart of Kirkcudbright, The Garret Hotel & Restaurant required a practical and well-designed cycle storage solution that complements its surroundings. As a popular destination for both visitors and locals, it was important that the installation not only provided secure cycle parking but also enhanced the overall appearance and functionality of the site.

We were appointed to supply and install an 8 space Trinity Timber Cycle Shelter, purpose-built to suit the setting and operational needs of the hotel. Measuring 3100mm wide by 2100mm deep and 2100mm high, the structure was designed to offer a compact yet highly effective storage solution, ideal for accommodating visiting cyclists in a convenient and secure manner.

Access to the shelter is provided via a timber clad double swing gate, offering ease of entry while maintaining security. The gate is fitted with a digital combination lock and drop bolt, giving users confidence that their bicycles can be stored safely while they visit the hotel or explore the local area. The roof is formed using galvanised box profile sheets, complete with neatly installed flashings to the front and sides, ensuring effective weather protection and a clean, professional finish.

Internally, the shelter is fitted with 4 Sheffield Cycle Stands, providing secure and organised parking for up to 8 bicycles. The layout was carefully planned to maximise the available space while allowing for easy access and manoeuvrability, ensuring a user-friendly experience for cyclists of all types.

Upon completion, the entire work area was thoroughly cleared and presented ready for immediate use, minimising disruption to the hotel’s day-to-day operations. This project demonstrates how well-designed, high-quality cycle infrastructure can add real value to hospitality settings, encouraging environmentally friendly transport choices while providing guests with the convenience and security for their bikes.
