Cycle Shelters FAQs

A cycle shelter is a shared, covered structure that protects multiple bikes from the weather while providing a secure place to lock them.

A cycle locker, on the other hand, is an enclosed unit that stores one or two bicycles.

Shelters are ideal for high-capacity needs, while lockers are suited to sites where maximum security or compact storage is required.
A typical 4-metre cycle shelter holds up to 10 bicycles when fitted with Sheffield-style racks.

Larger shelters, such as the XL Hennessy, can accommodate significantly more as they can accommodate double decker or two tiered bike storage.

Speak to an expert as it depends on the layout of a particular storage unit.

Many designs are modular, allowing capacity to be extended as demand grows.

Cycle Shelters and Lockers

Cycle Shelters and Lockers

Cycle shelters and lockers are a popular sight across many commercial, large residential and educational sites across the UK. They provide secure, weather-protected storage for bicycles and help project plans comply with planning conditions, Active Travel policies, and national sustainability targets.

Incorporating a cycle shelter with bike storage brings added benefits for cycle users and building owners, including additional shelter from the elements, added security for user’s bicycles within a shelter, and generally encouraging a greater use of cycles which in turns promotes a healthier population.

Street Furniture Direct supplies a wide range of shelters and lockers designed to meet these requirements. Our products are built for durability, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness, making them suitable for sub-contractors working to tight deadlines.

Bicycle shelters and lockers

Cycle shelters are external structures that provide cover for bikes, protecting them from the elements. Good shelters are modular in design meaning they can be extended to meet growing demand to cover more and more cycles. They are an excellent solution to provide shelter for many bikes in a confined area. Bike lockers on the other hand are smaller units that provide storage for one to two bicycles. Compact and secure, they are an ideal solution for small or restricted spaces where a shelter may not fit. Bicycle lockers are also a good option for sites where long-stay parking or higher-value bicycles need greater protection.

Both shelters and lockers improve site organisation, prevent clutter at entrances and walkways, and encourage cycling by giving users confidence that their bikes are safe and protected.

Benefits of installing cycle shelters and lockers

Installing cycle shelters and lockers delivers clear benefits for commercial developments, multi-occupancy residential buildings, educational establishments and public transport facilities.

They provide weather protection, preventing bikes from being exposed to rain and harsh conditions. They improve security, reducing the risk of theft and vandalism, which is especially important for sites with long-stay use. And by providing designated facilities, they support Active Travel and Net Zero commitments.

Shelters and lockers also improve the appearance of outdoor areas by keeping bicycles organised and contained. From a practical perspective, they reduce complaints from users and enhance the overall image of a site.

For sub-contractors, the use of galvanised and powder-coated steel ensures long-term durability, reducing future maintenance and replacement costs.

Important specification considerations

When specifying cycle shelters and lockers, sub-contractors should start by assessing capacity.

Smaller residential or commercial projects may only need a single shelter or locker, while larger sites such as business parks, universities, or transport hubs larger shelters.

Security is another important factor. Open-sided shelters are suitable for short-stay use, while enclosed shelters and individual lockers are better suited to high-value bikes or long-stay parking.

 

Space availability will often dictate the type of product required. Shelters provide efficient storage for larger areas, while lockers are compact and can be installed in restricted spaces.

Galvanised steel with a powder-coated finish offers strength, corrosion resistance, and minimal maintenance.

Installation should also be considered, with surface-mounted systems saving time and reducing labour requirements.

Finally, compliance with Active Travel guidance and local planning conditions is essential, and working with a supplier that provides CAD files and specification support simplifies the process.
