6' x 3' (1.96x0.89m) Trimetals Green Metal Bicycle Store - Garden Bike Storage

How many bikes does the Trimetals Metal Bicycle Store hold?

The Trimetals 6ft x 3ft Metal Bicycle Store is designed to store up to 3 bicycles. The internal width is 1800mm and the internal depth is 840mm, which gives enough room for three standard adult bikes stored side by side. If you're storing children's bikes or folding bikes, you may find you can fit more. The spring-assisted fully opening lid means you can walk in to retrieve or store bikes without having to manoeuvre them through a narrow door.

Does the bicycle store come with a padlock?

No, padlocks are not included. The store comes with 2 padlock points as standard, but you will need to supply your own padlocks. Trimetals does offer an optional add-on of 2 hasp and padlock sets for £69.99. These are made from stainless steel and brass and are described as top-quality. You can fit up to 2 of these to maximise security. For even greater protection, Trimetals also recommends their police-approved Protect-A-Cycle and Protect-A-Cycle Pro ranges.

What surface does the bicycle store need to be installed on?

The Trimetals Metal Bicycle Store is designed to be bolted onto a hard surface such as concrete or paving slabs. It is not suitable for installation directly onto soil or grass. The base frame sits 75mm above ground level. If you want to keep bikes off the ground inside the store, Trimetals offers an optional exterior-grade 12mm plywood internal floor for £89.99. A hinged ramp accessory is also available to make it easier to wheel bikes in and out over the base frame.

How long does assembly take and do I need any special tools?

Assembly is estimated to take between 2 and 4 hours and Trimetals recommends having 2 people to complete the job. Step-by-step instructions are included with the store. No special tools are listed as required, though as the store needs to be bolted to a hard surface, you will likely need a drill and appropriate fixings for your surface type. No specific installation hardware is mentioned as being included, so it is worth checking what you will need before you start.

What is the warranty on the Trimetals Metal Bicycle Store?

The Trimetals Metal Bicycle Store comes with a 25-year panel warranty. This is a significant warranty for an outdoor metal structure and reflects the quality of the galvanised steel and PVC coating used in its construction. The PVC coating is applied specifically to resist rust and corrosion and the store is described as maintenance-free, meaning you should not need to repaint or re-treat it during the warranty period. Always retain your proof of purchase in case you need to make a warranty claim.

Is the bicycle store weatherproof and suitable for year-round outdoor use?

Yes. The store is described as weatherproof and is built from galvanised steel panels with a PVC coating that resists rust and corrosion. The roof is a fully opening galvanised metal lid that seals the interior when closed. It is also stated to be fire-resistant. These properties make it suitable for permanent outdoor installation throughout the year in typical UK weather conditions. No maintenance such as painting or treating is required to maintain these properties, according to the manufacturer.

What colour options are available for this bicycle store?

Some colour options such as cream and two-tone green are listed as £0.00 add-ons, suggesting they may be available at no extra cost. If colour is important to you, it is worth checking the available variants before ordering to make sure you get the finish that best suits your garden.
