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

This shed is designed to store up to 3 adult bicycles. The internal width is 1800mm and the internal depth is 840mm, giving enough room to fit three standard adult bikes side by side. It is also suitable for electric bikes, as the aluminium ramp is built to support the combined weight of a cyclist and their bicycle.

What security features are included with this bike shed?

Security is a core feature of this shed. Included in the box are 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 tested by the Loss Prevention Certification Board and specifically designed to resist cutting. The shed also holds Police Preferred Specification - Secure by Design status and achieves LPCB LPS1175 Security Rating 1. The ramp, when stored, sits behind the door and can be padlocked to it from the inside for an extra layer of security.

What is the 25-year panel guarantee?

Trimetals provides a 25-year panel guarantee on this bike shed. This covers the structural panels of the shed against defects and deterioration. Given the shed is constructed from PVC-coated galvanised steel, it is built to last without rusting or requiring maintenance and the guarantee reflects that long-term durability. This is one of the longest guarantees available on any metal bike shed in the UK market.

Is the ramp suitable for electric bikes?

Yes. The ramp is built from a single 1-piece aluminium plate with reinforced metal hinges, making it strong enough to support the weight of a cyclist and a heavier electric bike. It simply drops into place when needed and folds back to form part of the metal base when not in use. In the stored position it sits behind the shed door and cannot be accessed or tampered with from outside.

How difficult is this shed to assemble?

Assembly is straightforward. All major components arrive factory assembled, which significantly reduces the time and effort needed on site. Clear step-by-step instructions are included. Fixings are also provided to bolt the metal base to a wider concrete base if required. No specialist tools are mentioned as being needed. The shed is designed to be assembled by a competent DIYer without professional help, though an installation service is available if preferred.

What are the exact dimensions of this bike shed?

The external dimensions are 1960mm wide x 890mm deep. The overall height is 1330mm, with a front height of 1090mm and a back height of 1290mm. The door height is 2070mm. Internally, the shed measures 1800mm wide x 840mm deep. The shed is also listed as 6'4" x 2'9" (approximately 1.95m x 0.88m). Note that the specification section also lists the size as 3' x 6', which is an alternate notation used by the manufacturer.

Does this shed require any maintenance?

No. The Trimetals Protect.a.Cycle is completely maintenance-free. The PVC-coated galvanised steel construction means it will not rust, rot or require painting at any point. Unlike timber bike stores that need annual treatment, this shed simply needs an occasional wipe down. This makes it a practical long-term storage solution with no ongoing costs for treatments or preservatives.
