Burntwood Cantilever Cycle Shelter
A robust cycle shelter with a cantilever form, steel roof cladding and concealed rainwater management, designed for high-use public and commercial environments. The Burntwood Cycle Shelter combines durable galvanised steel construction with a clean architectural profile, making it a practical choice for schools, workplaces and developments where long-term performance and visual quality are both priorities.
Product Details:
The Burntwood Cycle Shelter offers a sophisticated alternative to conventional shelters. Its architectural-grade steel sheet roof features a refined matte finish that resists wear and maintains its visual appeal over time. It delivers advanced weather protection and superior resistance to vandalism, a premium substitute for traditional PETG options.
Manufactured with a hot-dip galvanised steel frame to BS EN ISO 1461:2009 standards, the Burntwood Shelter is built to provide long-term corrosion resistance. The concealed integral guttering system eliminates the need for external downpipes, preserving the shelter’s sleek silhouette while ensuring efficient rainwater management.
The shelter has been developed as a more durable alternative to lighter cladding-based formats, particularly where long-term asset performance and resistance to damage are priorities.
Steel Roof Cycle Shelter with Refined, Durable Finish
The Burntwood Cycle Shelter features architectural-grade steel sheet roof cladding with a refined matte finish, offering a durable roofing solution with strong resistance to wear and vandalism. This gives the shelter a more solid, long-life specification compared with many standard PETg-roofed structures.
Roofing and weathering benefits include:
• Architectural-grade steel sheet roof cladding
• Refined matte finish for a clean, consistent appearance
• Strong resistance to wear in high-use environments
• Improved vandal resistance compared with lighter roofing materials
• Effective weather protection for parked cycles
This makes the Burntwood a strong option for projects seeking a more robust bike shelter specification.
Galvanised Steel Construction for Long-Term Outdoor Performance
The shelter is manufactured with a hot dip galvanised steel frame to BS EN ISO 1461, supporting long-term corrosion resistance in exposed outdoor conditions. The frame uses welded end frames and purlin sections made from heavy-duty box section, assembled with anti-tamper high-strength bolts for a secure and durable structure.
Construction highlights include:
• Robust modular construction
• Welded end frames and purlin sections in heavy-duty box section
• Anti-tamper high-strength bolt assembly
• Hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:2022
• Anti-climb end frames
• Submerged baseplates
This construction approach is suited to demanding public realm and campus settings where a bicycle shelter must withstand regular use over many years.
Concealed Drainage and Clean Architectural Form
A key feature of the Burntwood Cycle Shelter is its concealed integral guttering system, which removes the need for external downpipes. This helps maintain a cleaner overall profile while still managing rainwater effectively.
Design advantages include:
• Concealed integral guttering system
• No external downpipes to disrupt the profile
• Cleaner visual lines for contemporary schemes
• Effective rainwater management within the shelter design
This detail is particularly useful for architects and landscape designers looking for a cycle shelter that sits well within design-led external environments.
Cycle Parking Capacity and Rack Compatibility
The Burntwood can be specified to suit a range of cycle parking layouts and capacities. A standard 3150mm module accommodates up to 6 bicycles using Sheffield stands, while a 4150mm module accommodates up to 10 bicycles. For higher-capacity requirements, the shelter can also be paired with two-tier or high-density cycle racks.
Capacity guidance includes:
• 3150mm module: up to 6 bicycles (using Sheffield stands)
• 4150mm module: up to 10 bicycles (using Sheffield stands)
• Suitable for two-tier or high-density racks where required
Options:
- Powder coating to a wide range of colours
- LED or Solar Lighting
- Full Installation Service
- Varied range of Cycle Racks
- Varied range of Cycle Stands
Available in a range of durable powder-coated finishes, or matched to any RAL colour on request, the Burntwood Cycle Shelter works well in both contemporary and heritage settings. It's an ideal choice for developers, architects, and planners seeking high-performance infrastructure with aesthetic impact.
A standard 3150mm module accommodates up to 6 bicycles using Sheffield stands, while a 4150mm module provides space for 10. For higher-density requirements, the shelter can be specified with two-tier or high-density racks, significantly increasing capacity within the same footprint.
