Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about buggy shelters
What capacity buggy shelter do I need?
Capacity depends on how many buggies arrive at your busiest drop-off time. Count them over a typical week and allow some room for growth. Common sizes hold 6, 10 or 15 buggies, and we can make any size.
Should we choose open-fronted or lockable buggy shelters?
Open-fronted shelters work well in supervised areas with good natural surveillance, for example a school entrance that can be seen from reception. Lockable shelters suit sites where buggies are left unattended for long periods, or where parents store higher-value pushchairs.
How are buggies arranged inside the shelter?
Most buggy shelters have individual bays (typically 600mm wide) that keep buggies apart and stop them tangling. Some designs use rails where buggies park end-on. We set out the internal layout to suit your preferred storage method and the buggies you expect, from single pushchairs to double or triple buggies.
Are buggy shelters suitable for all types of pushchairs?
Yes. Our shelters take single pushchairs, double buggies and triple buggies. Standard depth is 1.2m, which suits most pushchairs. For larger travel systems or all-terrain buggies we can increase the depth to 1.5m, and bay widths can be widened for double buggies.
Do buggy shelters require planning permission?
Most buggy shelters fall under permitted development and do not need planning permission, as they are small, low structures. Listed buildings, conservation areas or larger installations may need consent. We recommend checking with your local planning authority, and we can provide drawings if needed.
How long does installation take?
Most buggy shelter installations take 3 to 5 hours. That includes setting posts, assembling the frame, fitting roof and side panels, and fitting any lockable doors. We can install during school holidays or at weekends to avoid disruption.
Why are your installers DBS checked?
Our installation staff are DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked because we regularly work in schools, nurseries and childcare settings. It supports your safeguarding duties and gives you confidence that our team can work safely around children.
Can buggy shelters be installed near building entrances?
Yes, as long as there is enough clearance for pedestrians (we recommend a path of at least 2m). We often place buggy shelters next to main entrances for convenience, positioned so they do not block fire exits or cause congestion. We assess the best location during the free site survey.
