Cycle Shelters and General Purpose Shelters

At Integrated Fencing we supply and install a variety of cycle shelters, general purpose shelters and other types of street furniture. Our standard bike shelter and cycle storage options range from a small bike shelter housing 10 cycles to bespoke shelters of any size. Here are some of the more common potential uses for our shelters:

  • Supermarket trolley shelters
  • Youth shelters in parks and open spaces
  • Bus shelters
  • Sheltered street benches and seats
  • Sheltered canopies and walkways
  • Sports ground shelters
  • Shelters for permitted smoking areas
  • Carports for commercial and private parking facilities
  • Sheltered areas for outdoor facilities in restaurants, cafes and coffee bars
  • Permanent shelters for outdoor market facilities

And so the list goes on. One thing that is for certain is that whatever your desired purpose or need for a shelter, we can come up with a solution for you.

ABOUT OUR BIKE AND GENERAL SHELTERS

A good shelter needs to be a worthwhile investment of capital and one that is going to stand the test of time. Important qualities include:

✔ secure installation
✔ robust weather-resistant materials
✔ anti-vandal and anti-tamper properties
✔ aesthetic appearance

Secure installation is what we are all about. Replicating the installation of perimeter fencing and gating solutions to apply it to secure bike shelter facilities has been an easy process. We can adapt the way we install a shelter according to the requirements of the client. The usual method is to mount securely in a concrete foundation but in circumstances where that might not be possible due to the presence of underground services, we can work out secure surface-mounted solutions.

In the case of a secure bike rack shelter, it is as much about securely fixing the post system that people will attach their bike to as it is the shelter itself.

Robust materials dictate the potential life span of the project, We use weather resistant alloys and galvanised steel that will not deteriorate, as well as infill panels such as strong perspex or glass that are as near to unbreakable as possible. Our aim is that any shelter we install will be around for a long time to come.

Anti-vandal and anti-tamper properties centre around the materials and fittings we use. In general we utilise materials that are easy to clean, hard to break and with fittings and fixings that are difficult to tamper with.

Aesthetic appearance means that the old impression of a shelter as an ugly plain glass box has long gone. With modern perspex and other materials, shelters can take on attractive curved shapes that protect from the weather more efficiently. They can be tinted, coloured and shaded for enhanced appearance as well as protection from the glare of the sun. We can even incorporate company logos, corporate branding and digital messaging systems.

It did not go unnoticed that you were put in a very difficult predicament by the failings of our ground works contractor but despite this, you and your team stuck at it working late nights and weekends to help us achieve the completion date. It’s very rare to see a Managing Director rolling his sleeves up to help his team out but you did this on numerous occasions in atrocious weather conditions and on weekends and for this we cannot thank you enough.

This leads me on to your site team who worked extremely close with our site team for the duration of the project and despite the extreme weather and ground conditions they simply got on with it. They’re attitude and willingness to complete the job in hand is fantastic, this together with the standard of work produced all makes for a winning team.

I have worked with numerous quality men over the last 30 years, and this has to be up there as one of the best. Please pass on our thanks to your team. Thanks again for your efforts on the project and we wish you every success in the future and hope your business grows. It has been a pleasure working with you on YGGT and we look forward to the prospect of working with you in the near future.
