The Galloway is a practical cycle shelter developed for sites that need efficient cycle parking without sacrificing excessive ground space. Designed to occupy one standard car parking space, it provides a straightforward way to introduce covered cycle storage into existing car parks, business premises and recreational locations.
Its front-access layout and enclosed side panels help create a tidy, functional parking solution that works well where space planning is tight.
The Galloway Cycle Shelter is designed to accommodate up to 12 cycles using vertical cycle stands, making it a high-capacity option for its footprint. This makes it particularly useful for projects seeking to increase cycle parking provision in constrained external areas.
Capacity information:
• 4800mm unit – 12 cycles (using vertical cycle stands)
This compact cycle parking shelter format is suitable for everyday commuter, visitor and staff cycle parking.
A key feature of the Galloway is its front-access arrangement, which supports practical cycle parking and retrieval from a single side. The inclusion of side panels provides additional protection from wind and rain, helping improve day-to-day usability in exposed locations.
Layout and protection benefits include:
• Front access for efficient use within parking areas
• Side panels for added weather protection
• Suitable for business and recreational parking locations
• Practical format for retrofit installations in existing car parks
This makes it a dependable bike shelter for sites where compactness and user access are both important.
The Galloway is built for repeated use in external environments, with welded end frames and purlin sections made from heavy-duty box section and assembled with anti-tamper high-strength bolts. Adjustable baseplates support installation flexibility, while the galvanised finish helps provide long-term corrosion resistance.
Construction highlights include:
• Robust construction
• Welded end frames and purlin sections in heavy-duty box section
• Anti-tamper high-strength bolt assembly
• Adjustable baseplates
• Hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:2022
This specification makes the shelter suitable for public and commercial projects requiring durable cycle parking infrastructure.
The shelter is supplied with 4mm Clear View PETg UV roof and side cladding as standard, with a 5mm option also available (£POA). This provides weather protection while maintaining visibility and light transmission within the shelter.
