Choosing the right type of back-to-back shelter
There are several types of open shelters and closed shelters that can be attached to buildings. Open shelters are often less expensive, as they require less raw materials. However, you'll need hoops and a good anti-theft device to prevent your bike or scooter from being stolen. They're ideal for quiet neighborhoods that don't require a great deal of security. The main purpose of these shelters is to protect vehicles from the elements.
In addition to installing metal hoops, you can add a lock to increase security tenfold. In this case, users will pay less attention to the lock used, as the bicycle garage will already be in a safe place. What's more, the fact that the bicycles are not visible inside the garage can be a plus in preventing thieves.
The type of roof for your back-to-back shelter
You can choose between a flat roof. This will be less subject to wind and require a little less complication to install. It can also be used to install solar panels for electrical charging stations, for example. This type of roof is perfect for warm climates.
Sloped roofs are best suited to mountainous areas or regions that require a lot of safe water drainage. It will be much more complicated to install solar panels.
What materials should I use for my back-to-back shelter?
You have several choices for your back-to-back bike shelter: PVC, wood, metal, etc. We recommend wood or metal.
Wood has several advantages over metal. First of all, a wooden shelter is more modular. If you're a handyman, you'll find it easier to adapt it to your needs. It can complement your wooden garden shed. What's more, a wooden shed can be open with wooden cladding or closed with boards. Depending on where you wish to leave it, it can be more aesthetically pleasing in the landscape.
Metal shelters can be more weather-resistant than wooden ones. If you're looking for a long-term solution, this is a good compromise. What's more, it offers a higher level of protection than wood. Its weak point, however, is the much higher cost of the raw material!
