Why Hot Dip Galvanised?

…in a word, durability!

All of our shelters are hot dip galvanised for durability and longevity. The last thing you want after investing in a new shelter for your site is a call to complain about rusting. Our shelters will stand the test of time when some of our competitors shelters have rusted and corroded.

Don’t take our word for it, go over to www.galvanizing.org.uk and enter your postcode to find out how protected your shelter needs to be based on its location in the UK.

Don’t be mislead!

Many of our competitors are offering products that have been described as “painted grey”, “zinc coated” and even untreated metal. Their products will rust in no time.

Our Cycle Shelters are made with a mild steel frame and are Plate Mounted Bolt down. The Eco Cycle Shelter is very easy to assemble and is delivered flat pack. The shelter is lightweight yet robust and being galvanised will give maximum protection from rust for many years. This is a full size shelter and will take up to 10 adult cycles. The assembly is very straight forward. The shelters are available in Galvanised finish  however if you want a painted shelter, simply assemble the frame and paint it to the desired colour (leave it to dry) and then fit the sheeting or if you wish we can have it powder coated in any standard RAL colour.

All metal work is Galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:1999.

What is Galvanizing?

Hot dip galvanizing is a method of protecting steel from corrosion by dipping it in a bath of molten zinc. The steel reacts with the zinc creating an alloy that metallurgically bonds to the surface of the steel. Layers of zinc form on top, providing a tough, abrasion resistant coating that will be truly maintenance free for many years to come.
