Beginner’s Guide to Cycle Storage

Ensuring secure and protected bicycle storage is essential for workplaces, schools, and residential areas. This guide covers key aspects of cycle storage, including available options, benefits, and tips for selecting the best solution.

Cycle Storage Solutions We Offer

At Cotterill Civils, we provide a range of durable cycle storage products, including bike racks and shelters. Our shelters are designed to protect bikes from theft, vandalism, and weather, with various sizes available to suit small businesses and larger commercial spaces.

Benefits of Installing a Cycle Shelter

  • Security: Reduces theft and vandalism.
  • Weather Protection: Shields bikes from harsh conditions.
  • Encourages Cycling: Promotes cycling as a transport option.
  • Compliance: Helps meet regulations in new developments.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Adds a sleek, professional look to your premises.

Installation: DIY or Professional?

While some products are easy to install, we recommend professional installation for complex shelters to ensure proper setup and compliance with regulations.

Warranty Coverage

All our cycle storage products come with a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects, providing peace of mind.

Materials

Our shelters and racks are made from mild galvanised steel for strength and PETG for impact-resistant roofing, ensuring durability and long-lasting use.

Legal Requirements

Although not legally required, many local authorities encourage businesses to provide cycle shelters as part of sustainability efforts and employee welfare commitments.

Planning Permission

Small-scale shelters often don’t require planning permission, but check with local authorities if installing larger shelters or in conservation areas.

Choosing the Right Size

Shelter size depends on the number of bikes you need to store. Refer to product specifications like our Leyton Bicycle Shelter to choose the right fit.

Maintenance

  • Clean regularly to prevent dirt buildup.
  • Inspect for damage and address issues promptly.
  • Lubricate moving parts to prevent rust.
