10 space timber clad cycle shelter in Lewes

Secure Cycle Store designed, supplied and installed a 10-space Timber-Clad Cycle Shelter for a new apartment development on Malling Street, Lewes, completed in March 2025. Working with a private developer, we created a secure, space-efficient cycle storage solution that complements the building’s contemporary design, combining a black powder-coated galvanised steel frame with PAR-treated timber hit-and-miss cladding.

Measuring 3200mm wide x 2100mm deep x 2100mm high, the shelter features a galvanised box-profile roof and black powder-coated flashings for a durable, weather-resistant finish. The timber cladding provides a natural appearance against the development’s grey render, while the black RAL 9005 frame matches the existing window frames and doors. A central timber swing gate fitted with a digit combination lock provides convenient, key-free access for residents.

Inside, 10 galvanised Semi-Vertical Cycle Racks maximise the available space by storing bicycles at an angle, making the most of the shelter’s compact footprint. From initial enquiry and design through to supply and installation, Secure Cycle Store managed the project from start to finish, delivering secure residential cycle storage that balances practicality, durability and visual appeal.

16-space Two-Tier Trinity Timber-Clad Cycle Shelter in Leicester, featuring secure access, timber cladding and powder coated steel frame.

In June 2025, Secure Cycle Store worked on behalf of Wates, to supply and install a 16-space Two-Tier Trinity Timber-Clad Cycle Shelter in Leicester. Measuring 3200mm wide x 2100mm deep x 2700mm high, the shelter provides a secure, space-efficient cycle storage solution designed to accommodate Two-Tier Cycle Racks.

The shelter features a robust steel frame finished in black powder coating (RAL 9005), complemented by PAR treated timber hit & miss cladding to the rear and sides. A black box profile roof and matching flashings complete the modern finish, while timber-clad double swing gates with a combination lock and drop bolt provide secure, keyless access.

Supplied in kit form and assembled on site by the Secure Cycle Store installation team, the shelter was configured to meet the client’s requirements. At their request, the two-tier cycle racks were left unfitted, allowing the enclosed structure to serve as secure on-site storage during the works, with the flexibility to accommodate 16 bicycle spaces once the racks are installed.

This project demonstrates Secure Cycle Store’s ability to deliver adaptable cycle shelter solutions for contractors and commercial developments, combining durable construction, secure access and practical installation to meet changing site requirements.

Timber-clad cycle shelters and bin stores supplied and installed at Maple Road

In September 2024, Secure Cycle Store completed the supply and installation of 2 Timber Clad Cycle Shelters and 2 matching Communal Bin Stores at Maple Road, Hayes. Designed to complement the surrounding residential development, the project delivered a coordinated, durable storage solution that combines practical functionality with an attractive, natural finish.

Each cycle shelter measures 4100mm wide x 2100mm deep x 2700mm high and features a galvanised steel frame with PAR treated timber hit-and-miss cladding on all sides. Two-Tier, Non-Gas-Assisted Cycle Racks provide 18 bicycle spaces per shelter, maximising storage capacity within the available footprint. Access is provided by double swing gates with a central post and silver-finish key latch locks, offering secure, convenient access for residents.

The two communal bin stores measure 4730mm wide x 2850mm deep x 2100mm high and use the same galvanised steel frame and timber cladding to maintain a consistent appearance across the development. Each store features a single swing gate with a digit combination latch lock and self-closing mechanism, allowing convenient keyless access. Internal D-section buffer rails provide additional protection against impact damage to the bins and timber cladding during everyday use.

All four structures incorporate galvanised box-profile roof sheets, folded front and side flashings, and rear PVC guttering with side downpipes to manage rainwater. Supplied in kit form and assembled on site by the Secure Cycle Store installation team, the completed installation provides residents with secure, weather-protected bicycle parking and practical communal waste storage.

This project demonstrates Secure Cycle Store’s expertise in supplying and installing bespoke timber-clad cycle shelters and bin stores tailored to residential developments, combining durable construction, efficient use of space and a finish that complements the surrounding architecture.

Making Cycling Easier for All With Public Bicycle Repair Stands

When asked, why do you not use a bicycle on a regular basis? One of the most frequent responses can be the cost burden and hassle of maintaining it. Maintenance does not have to mean major mechanical work, it can be as simple as tuning gears, tightening bolts, or re-inflating tyres, these are all jobs that are easy enough, with the right tools.

Public bicycle repair stands with pumps are one of the easiest ways to overcome this restrictive hurdle in bicycle ownership. A street-side repair stand can supply excellent quality tools and a floor pump for public use, making it easy and efficient for local riders to keep their bikes in working operation.

Quick and Easy Bicycle Maintenance

We have all been there, flipping a bike upside down on the pavement to remove wheels or adjust the gears; struggling with an inefficient miniature hand pump to try and repair a puncture on the way to work, or experiencing that disconcerting wobbly feeling because your saddle or handlebars have worked their way loose. The Public Bike Repair Stand is designed to eliminate these headaches as the Secure Cycle Store slogan goes ‘Mantis – We Can Always Save Your Ride’.

With its integrated bike stand, the Public Bike Repair Stand With Pump from Secure Cycle Store allows you to lift your bike off the ground and conduct essential maintenance at a convenient height. 

The integrated tools include all the spanners, screwdrivers, hex-keys, and tyre levers you could need for most bicycle repairs, all made by the industry-leading brand Unior Tools. Every tool is attached to the galvanised steel repair stand with plastic-coated stainless-steel wires, and there are simple instructions to help you use them printed on the stand itself. When a user has finished with a tool it naturally hangs inside the stand, keeping it out of the weather and in good condition.

To keep your tyres rolling smooth, the Public Bike Repair Stand features a top-quality SKS AirWorx10.0 Floor Pump integrated into the stand. This easy-to-use pump will make effortless work of inflating even mountain bike tyres up to their recommended pressure, allowing commuters and leisure riders to get back on the streets as fast as possible.

A public bicycle repair stand is worth more than the sum of its parts. Placed next to a busy cycle commuting street or weekend leisure cycle path it can ensure that commuters, families, and cycling clubs have a fast and convenient way to keep their bicycle in good rideable condition. Placed inside a train station it can provide the prime opportunity for cycle-rail commuters to tune up their bikes as they wait for the train. 

Wherever you install one, you can be sure a repair stand will help facilitate safer and easier cycling for all that make use of it.

Built to Last 

Not all bicycle repair stands are made equal. The Secure Cycle Store Bicycle Repair Stand With Pump is made from the highest-grade metals, and with tools that are professional level quality. For a product that is out in the weather all year round and that you anticipate having almost continuous use, this level of build quality is essential. 

A bicycle route, bicycle park, and of course the bicycle itself are all intended to be investments in sustainable infrastructure and transport, so, ensuring your public bicycle repair stand is also up to the rigours of everyday outdoor use, year-after-year, is fundamental.

Invest in Sustainability

A public bicycle repair stand is an investment into sustainable growth. It offers the convenience and reliability that cycle commuters and leisure riders demand for them to feel confident in making the switch from other transport methods towards bicycle usage. A high-quality bike repair unit will last for years and could help hundreds of thousands of cyclists keep rolling in comfort and safety.

We recently delivered a bespoke Trinity Timber Clad Shelter solution for an academy facing a common challenge: a growing student body and a Victorian building, dating from 1824, with no room left for cloakroom storage. Having worked with us on two previous occasions, the academy came back to us for a practical outdoor alternative, with covered, weather-protected space where students can leave sports kit, coats and bags safely within the school grounds.

The first shelter is a spacious open-fronted structure measuring 7000mm wide by 3000mm deep. It is built on a fully galvanised steel frame, powder coated in RAL 9005 Black, and clad to the rear and sides in pressure-treated PAR timber hit-and-miss boarding. The result is a natural finish that sits comfortably alongside the historic building. Galvanised box profile roof sheets and powder coated flashings keep the contents dry, and the open front gives students quick, easy access between lessons. Inside, seven perimeter benches and two central double-sided benches give generous space for cricket and sports bags. Composite hook boards above, fitted with plastic hooks, give plenty of room for coats and satchels.

Alongside this, we supplied a bespoke L-shaped shelter to make the most of the available footprint. It uses the same galvanised steel frame and timber cladding, and is fitted with eight heavy-duty bench-style shelving units. Each unit has two storage shelves plus extra crossbars with hook boards, giving the academy organised storage for larger kit bags and equipment.

All internal benching and shelving was factory-fitted, using powder coated metal frames with composite slats, composite hook boards and plastic hooks. These materials won’t rot, splinter or need painting, so the shelters stay tidy and safe for students with very little upkeep.

Both shelters were supplied in kit form for quick on-site assembly, keeping disruption to the school to a minimum. With galvanised steel, pressure-treated timber, composite fittings and quality roofing materials, they are built to cope with years of daily use by students in all weathers.

This project shows Secure Cycle Store’s ability to design and manufacture fully bespoke timber clad shelters around each customer’s needs, and why customers like this academy keep coming back. Whether the need is cloakroom overflow, sports kit storage, covered seating or multi-purpose outdoor space, every shelter is made to exact specifications using durable materials and finishes that look good for the long term.
