Anti-Vandal Wardale® Cycle Compound
Product Details:
Secure Cycle Compound for High-Risk Locations
The Anti-Vandal Wardale has been developed for areas where standard shelters may not provide sufficient protection. Its enclosed compound format makes it particularly suitable for:
• Schools, colleges, and university campuses
• Railway stations and transport interchanges
• Town centre cycle hubs and regeneration projects
• Leisure centres and visitor attractions
• Commercial workplaces and staff cycle facilities
As an anti vandal cycle compound, it supports active travel infrastructure while reducing theft and vandalism risk.
Modular Cycle Storage Compound Design
A key advantage of the Wardale is its modular construction, allowing multiple units to be linked together to create extended banks of shelters.
Capacity and Layout Benefits
• Modular system for scalable cycle provision
• Suitable for accommodating almost any quantity of cycles
• Ideal for phased developments or expanding site requirements
• Supports organised, high-density cycle parking layouts
This flexibility makes it an effective cycle storage compound solution for both new-build and retrofit schemes.
Enhanced Security Features and Controlled Access
The Anti-Vandal Wardale includes a sliding gate and mechanical code locks as standard, providing secure access management without reliance on electrical systems.
Security Features Include
• Sliding gate entry for controlled user access
• Mechanical code locks for reliable operation
• Weld mesh integration to deter climbing and forced entry
• Optional anti-crawl bars depending on surface level
This makes the shelter a strong option for any bike compound installation where user security is a priority.
Roof and Cladding Options for Durability
The compound can be specified with a range of robust roof and side panel materials, each combined with security mesh.
Available Panel Options
• 5mm PETg UV roof panels with 5mm mesh
• 5mm polycarbonate roof and sides with 5mm mesh
• Opal cladding to roof and sides for increased privacy and appearance
These options allow specifiers to tailor the compound to site visibility, aesthetics, and exposure requirements.

To suit varying ground conditions and contractor requirements, the Wardale cycle compound can be supplied with additional fixing and security upgrades.
Installation Options Include
• Extended adjustable baseplates for submerged fixing
