- Design Aesthetics: The aesthetics of the shelter can be important, especially if it's located in a visible space. Choose a design that blends in well with the surroundings and is pleasing to the eye.
- Assembly and maintenance Choose a shelter that's easy to assemble and maintain. Some models may be more complicated than others to install, and some materials require regular maintenance to maintain their appearance and strength.
- Delivery time If this is an important criterion for you, pay close attention to delivery times. If this is unclear, don't hesitate to ask the shelter manufacturer.
- Budget Finally, consider your budget. Secure bike shelters can vary in price depending on materials, size and features. Assess your needs and determine which shelter offers the best value for money to meet your requirements.
How to install your shelter?
The installation of your enclosure will depend mainly on the type of enclosure, but also on the nature of the ground on which it will be installed.
We recommend that you always install the shelter on a solid foundation such as concrete or at least good quality bitumen.

Why prices for enclosed bike shelters are so different
The price of a bike shelter depends enormously on the type of covering required. It depends on the user's level of safety and comfort.
If the bike shelter is to be used by careful people, sheltered from the wind and malicious persons, it may be worth considering a less expensive bike shelter, often used by private individuals.
If the bike shelter is stored in a public place, then the cost of the bike shelter will inevitably be higher.
