Bespoke Timber-Clad Cycle Shelter Installation

We delivered a fully Bespoke Trinity Timber Cycle Shelter designed to provide secure, high-capacity bicycle storage for residents while complementing the surrounding environment. The project combined premium cycle parking equipment with durable, low-maintenance materials to create a modern cycle storage solution built for long-term daily use.

The completed shelter measured 7500mm wide x 4000mm deep x 2700mm high and was manufactured using a galvanised steel framework with a Black RAL 9005 powder coated finish. The heavy-duty steel structure provides exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for exposed outdoor environments and high-traffic residential developments.

The shelter was clad externally using PAR treated timber with a black painted finish. The hit-and-miss timber cladding design allows airflow throughout the enclosure while maintaining security and visual privacy for stored bicycles. Combined with the black powder coated steel frame, the finished shelter delivers a contemporary appearance that integrates naturally into modern residential schemes, apartment developments and urban communal spaces.

The shelter incorporated a centrally located single swing access gate complete with a Digit Combination Lock, providing controlled resident access. The fully enclosed design helps protect bicycles from theft, vandalism and adverse weather conditions, creating a practical long-term cycle storage solution for residents.

The roof structure was finished using galvanised box profile roof sheets with matching powder coated flashings fitted to the front and side elevations. This provides a durable weatherproof covering capable of withstanding year-round exposure while maintaining a clean, professional finish across the entire structure.

The project utilised the highly regarded 2ParkUp Two-Tier Bike Rack with Gas Assist, one of the most advanced and reliable two-tier bike parking solutions currently available on the market. Designed and engineered for ease of use, the system allows users to safely and efficiently access upper-tier spaces using assisted lifting, making it suitable for both residential and commercial applications.

The Klaver 2ParkUp system is FietsParKeur certified, tested to more than 20,000 operational cycles and backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty. With over 50,000 installed cycle spaces across Europe, it has become a trusted solution for developers, local authorities, transport hubs and residential schemes seeking secure, space-efficient bicycle parking infrastructure.

The shelter and all associated components were supplied in kit form and assembled on site by our installation team. Works included installation of the galvanised steel framework, fitting of all treated timber cladding panels, roofing installation, flashings, gate assembly, locking mechanism integration and installation of all internal cycle parking systems.

The completed installation at Canonbury Heights now provides residents with a secure, weather-protected and highly efficient bicycle storage facility that encourages sustainable travel while enhancing the functionality of the site.
