A Modular Cycle Compound for Secure, High-Capacity Cycle Parking
The Wardale® is a modular cycle compound developed from Broxap’s well-established Wardale Cycle Shelter design. It is configured to provide a more secure, enclosed cycle parking solution while retaining the practical, recognisable form of the original shelter system.
Its modular and retrofit-friendly design makes it particularly suitable for projects that need to expand from open cycle parking to a fully enclosed cycle storage compound over time.
Wardale-Based Compound Design with Retrofitting Flexibility
A key advantage of the Wardale® Cycle Compound is the way it can be configured and extended using compatible compound components. The system lends itself to larger compound layouts and can be adapted as site security requirements change.
Configuration benefits include:
• Modular design based on the Wardale shelter format
• Retrofitting approach suitable for phased upgrades
• Can be configured into larger compound structures
• Suitable for public and corporate cycle parking areas
This makes it a practical cycle shelter compound solution for both new schemes and upgrades to existing cycle storage provision.
Secure Cycle Compound with Lockable Gates and Roof Panels
By opposing two shelters and adding roof panels, lockable gates and security panels, the Wardale® system can be specified as a fully enclosed secure cycle compound. This approach allows specifiers to create a protected cycle parking environment using modular components in a coordinated layout.
Security compound options include:
• Opposing two shelters to create a larger covered compound format
• Roof panels to increase covered enclosure
• Lockable gates and panels for secure access control
• Rear security panels for improved perimeter protection
This format is particularly useful for workplaces, campuses and public facilities requiring controlled cycle access.
Bike Compound Security Options and Locking Methods
The Wardale® Cycle Compound offers a wide range of locking options to suit different management and access-control requirements, from simple user padlock systems through to managed access solutions.
Available locking options include:
• Integral heavy-duty hasp and staple (standard)
• Sliding bolt (for user’s own padlock)
• Integrated cylinder lock
• Swipe card access
• Keypad access
Additional locking support includes:
• Padlocks permanently attached to the shelter (with multiple keys)
This flexibility supports use as a managed bike compound in commercial, education and public-sector settings.
Compound Components and Width Options
Compound high-security gates, panels and roof panels are available in a range of widths, allowing the enclosure to be matched to the required layout and capacity.
Component width options include:
• 1000mm
• 1250mm
• 2000mm
These modular widths support tailored compound configurations and help maintain consistency across larger installations.
Capacity Options for Different Site Requirements
The Wardale® Cycle Compound is available in multiple length and capacity formats, making it suitable for both medium and higher-capacity cycle parking areas.
Capacity guidance includes:
• 3600mm long – 16 cycles
• 4100mm long – 20 cycles
• 5000mm long – 24 cycles
• 6000mm long – 28 cycles
• Other capacity options available for larger compounds
This range allows the cycle compound to be specified in line with current demand while allowing for future expansion.
