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.
Great job done from ordering, advice, delivery and construction. Two man crew worked solidly from 7 am to 1pm, refused all offers of coffee and got the bike shelter built despite high winds and rain. Also dismantled our old bike rack.
Excellent company to deal with, all queries and questions answered promptly. Very happy with the service. Very quick delivery from order, the cycle repair stands were well packed and protected and secured to the pallet for transport.
Peter and Joanne were excellent to deal with and hopefully will be dealing with them again to purchase more units.
We received this and it was exactly as described, arrived quickly and securely. The company were a pleasure to deal with and throughout our order made sure we were kept up to date regarding delivery times. An all round great service.
