6'4 x 2'9 Trimetals Protect.a.Cycle Metal Bike Shed with Ramp - Cream (1.95m x 0.88m)

How many bikes does the Trimetals Protect.a.Cycle store?

The Trimetals Protect.a.Cycle is designed to store up to 3 adult bicycles. This includes standard road bikes, mountain bikes and heavier electric bikes. The integral metal floor and ramp are both built to support the weight of an electric bike and its rider, so you won't need to worry about capacity even with heavier models.

What security features does this bike shed come with?

This shed comes with a substantial security package. It includes 2 Sold Secure Silver Approved (SSSA) high-security padlocks, 2 stainless steel hasps, a SSSA heavy-duty ground anchor and an alarmed steel high-security cable. The cable has been tested by the Loss Prevention Certification Board and is specifically designed to resist cutting. The shed also holds Police Preferred Specification and Secure by Design status, making it one of the most thoroughly vetted bike storage solutions on the market.

What does the LPS1175 Security Rating 1 mean?

LPS1175 is a security standard set by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB). It tests products against physical attack using a range of tools. Achieving Security Rating 1 means the shed has been independently tested and certified to resist forced entry. The Trimetals Protect.a.Cycle is unique in being the only bike shed to hold this certification, which is why it is also endorsed by insurance companies and the cycling press.

Is the ramp easy to use and can it be secured?

Yes. The ramp is made from a single piece of aluminium with reinforced metal hinges. It simply drops into place when you need to wheel a bike in or out and then folds back to form part of the metal base. When stored, the ramp sits behind the shed door so it cannot be accessed or tampered with from outside. It can also be padlocked to the door for added security.

Does this bike shed need a concrete base?

The shed has an integral metal floor so it does not require a separate concrete base to function. However, fixings are included to bolt the metal base to a wider concrete base if you want to anchor it more permanently. This is recommended for maximum security as it prevents the entire unit from being lifted or moved.

How difficult is it to assemble?

Assembly is straightforward. The major components arrive factory assembled so there is less work to do on site. Clear step-by-step instructions are included in the box. Trimetals describe it as very easy to assemble. You will need basic tools and ideally a second pair of hands to hold panels in position while you work.

What maintenance does this shed require?

None. The Trimetals Protect.a.Cycle is completely maintenance-free. The PVC-coated galvanised steel panels do not need painting, treating or staining. The galvanised steel construction means the shed is fully resistant to rust and it is also fireproof. This makes it a practical long-term storage solution that won't demand your time or money after purchase. The 25-year panel guarantee reflects this durability.
