Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our cycle shelters
How many bikes can a cycle shelter hold?
Every shelter is built to order. Common sizes hold 5, 10 or 20 bikes, and we can design shelters for 50 or more. Capacity depends on whether you choose single-tier Sheffield stands or space-saving two-tier racks.
Do cycle shelters come with bike racks included?
Yes. Our cycle shelters include Sheffield stands or two-tier racks as standard. Sheffield stands let riders lock the frame and both wheels, and we space them about 1m apart so handlebars do not tangle.
Can cycle shelters be made secure with lockable doors?
Yes. We offer lockable front or side doors for higher security. Schools and businesses often choose this where bikes stay on site overnight. Doors use robust hinges and can take padlocks or keypad entry.
What foundation is required for installation?
Cycle shelters usually need a concrete base pad (at least 100mm deep) or can be anchored into existing hard standing. We give you the foundation specification with your quotation, and our team can arrange groundworks if needed.
How long does installation take?
Most cycle shelter installations take 1 to 2 days, depending on size. We work around your timetable to keep disruption low. For schools, we can install during holidays or at weekends.
Can shelters be finished in school or company colours?
Yes. Shelters are powder coated in any RAL colour at no extra cost. We can also add logo panels or signage.
What roofing options are available?
We offer UV-stable polycarbonate sheeting (clear or tinted), which keeps bikes dry and lets light through. For a solid roof we can supply profiled metal roofing. Both are durable and need little maintenance.
Do you offer two-tier cycle parking?
Yes. Two-tier racks suit sites where ground space is limited, as they roughly double capacity in the same footprint. We use gas-assisted racks, so lifting a bike to the upper tier is easy.

Cycle Shelters for Schools and Businesses
We manufacture and install cycle shelters for schools, colleges, universities, businesses, hospitals and local authorities across the UK. All our cycle shelters are made from powder-coated aluminium at our workshop in Lancashire and are available in any RAL colour at no extra cost.
For schools, we supply cycle shelters for primary schools, secondary schools, sixth form colleges and special educational needs schools. A school cycle shelter encourages pupils and staff to cycle by giving them secure, dry storage through the day. We offer open-sided shelters with Sheffield stands for standard bike storage, and fully lockable enclosed shelters where more security is needed.
Capacity starts at 5 bikes for a small school entrance and goes up to 50 bikes or more for larger schools and colleges. Every shelter is made to order, so we build to your footprint rather than fitting your site around a standard range.
For businesses, cycle shelters support active travel schemes, help meet planning conditions on cycle parking, and show staff a visible commitment to sustainability. Many commercial cycle shelters are installed alongside EV charging or as part of a wider site improvement.
Most school and commercial cycle shelters fall within permitted development rights and do not need a formal planning application. We check this for every site as part of the free site survey.
