Lancaster Eco Utility / Smoking Shelter 4.1 Metre

Lancaster Eco Utility Shelter for Versatile Covered Protection

The Lancaster Eco Utility Shelter provides a generous covered area for a variety of practical uses. Its 3050 mm width and 2000 mm depth create substantial sheltered space, making it suitable for equipment, staff areas, covered workspaces and other commercial or industrial applications.

Weather Protection

Clear UV2 PETG panels are UV-stabilised on both sides, helping to reduce exposure to wind and rain while maintaining good visibility around the shelter.

Lancaster Eco Utility Shelter Panel Options

The Lancaster Eco Utility is available in several configurations to suit different applications.

Half-Height Side Panels

For use as a smoking shelter, half-height side panels provide additional protection from wind and rain while keeping the shelter sufficiently open.

Under UK smoke-free legislation, a roofed shelter must not be substantially enclosed. This means that at least 50% of the total wall area must remain permanently open. Site layout and surrounding structures should also be considered when assessing compliance.

Full-Height Side Panels

Full-height PETG side panels provide enhanced protection from the elements, creating a more enclosed and sheltered space. This option is available for alternative uses where greater enclosure and weather protection are beneficial. Existing Urbanfab Eco Shelters can also be retrofitted with side panels where required.

Hot-Dip Galvanised Steel Construction

The Lancaster Eco Utility Shelter features a 50 × 25 mm RHS mild-steel frame, providing a strong, low-maintenance structure designed for long-term outdoor use. The mild-steel components are hot-dip galvanised after fabrication to ISO 1461:2022, providing durable corrosion protection and a low-maintenance finish. For more information about hot-dip galvanising and why we specify it, see our Why Hot-Dip Galvanising page.

Galvanised and Powder-Coated Finish Options

Many of our customers opt for the standard hot-dip galvanised finish to ISO 1461:2022. Optional powder coating is available in any standard RAL colour where a specific aesthetic or organisational colour scheme is required.

Applied over the galvanised steel, it creates a duplex coating system, combining the long-term corrosion protection of galvanising with an additional protective barrier and durable decorative finish. Powder coating adds approximately 3–4 days to the lead time and incurs an additional cost. As a lower-cost alternative, the frame can be hand-painted using an appropriate metal paint, with primer where required.

Secure Bolt-Down Installation

The plate-mounted design allows the Lancaster Eco Utility Shelter to be securely fixed to any suitable hard surface.

Flat-Pack Lancaster Eco Utility Shelter Delivery

The shelter is delivered as a flat-pack kit and includes the required frame and panel fixings. The frame is designed for fixing to a suitable hard surface, with ground anchors available for a range of hard surfaces at a small additional cost. We’ll contact you after ordering with the available ground-anchor options.
