Trimetals recommend that assembly takes place on a level concrete or paved base. The floor of the unit is steel so it does not require a separate timber or plastic floor. The base must be flat and stable to allow the panels to align correctly and for the doors to operate properly. A concrete slab is the most common and recommended base type.
The Protect A Bike 960 comes with a 25-year panel warranty. This is one of the longest warranties available on any steel bike store and reflects the quality of the PVC coated galvanised steel construction. For full warranty terms and conditions it is worth contacting Trimetals or the retailer directly to understand what is covered and how to make a claim if needed.
Free delivery is available to most UK addresses. The product page also states that installation is available as an additional service. Finance options are available too, including interest-free spreading of the cost over 12 months. It is worth checking the delivery page for any postcodes that may fall outside the free delivery area, particularly in remote or highland locations.
