Canal Curved Secure Cycle Shelter System Installation

Delivering secure, practical and visually cohesive cycle storage solutions is a key part of supporting sustainable transport infrastructure. This project involved the supply, assembly and installation of a high-quality Canal Curve Cycle Shelter, designed to provide secure and accessible bike storage while complementing the surrounding environment.

The specified structure measured 3100mm in width, 2100mm in depth and 2100mm in height, offering a compact yet efficient footprint suitable for a variety of locations. The shelter was manufactured using a robust galvanised steel framework, finished with a durable powder coating in Moss Green (RAL 6005). This finish was selected not only for its resilience against weathering and corrosion, but also for its ability to blend seamlessly into landscaped or urban settings.

To ensure both visibility and protection, the shelter was clad with clear PETG panels along the rear and sides. This material provides a strong, impact-resistant barrier against the elements while maintaining a light, open feel that enhances usability. Access to the shelter was secured with a mesh-clad double swing gate, also powder coated to match the main structure. The gate was fitted with a hasp and staple locking mechanism, carefully installed and tested to ensure smooth operation and reliable security.

Internally, the shelter was equipped with 4 Sheffield-style cycle stands, providing storage for up to eight bicycles. These stands were positioned and installed with precision to maximise usability and ensure adequate spacing for users, supporting both convenience and protection against bike damage.

Given that the installation area consisted of a tarmac surface, careful consideration was given to the fixing method. Resin fixings was identified as a potential requirement to ensure a secure and long-lasting installation.

The project concluded with a thorough site clean-up, leaving the area tidy and ready for immediate use. The completed cycle shelter now offers a secure, weather-protected and visually appealing solution for bicycle storage, supporting active travel and enhancing the usability of the space.

This installation demonstrates our commitment to delivering high-quality cycle infrastructure, combining durable materials, precise workmanship and efficient project management to meet the needs of modern environments.
