The Cheshire is a practical timber cycle shelter designed for projects that require dependable covered cycle parking with a more natural appearance. Its softwood construction and apex roof profile make it particularly suitable for parks, green spaces, rural locations and public walkways where steel-heavy structures may feel out of place.
With a capacity of up to 10 cycles, it provides useful everyday parking while integrating more comfortably into landscape-led environments.
As a wooden cycle shelter, the Cheshire is well suited to schemes where material choice and visual character are important alongside function. The timber structure helps soften the appearance of cycle parking infrastructure in countryside, heritage-adjacent or parkland settings.
Typical applications include:
• Public parks and recreation grounds
• Rural cycle routes and trail stops
• Public walkways and shared-use paths
• Visitor destinations and leisure sites
• Landscape-led developments
This makes it a strong option where a timber bike shelter is required to complement the surrounding environment.
