Bicycle shed, bike house, or bike shelter – the suitable solution from Kirchberger Metall
At Kirchberger Metall, you will find robust bicycle sheds, bike houses, and bike sheltersfrom our own production – Made in Germany. Whether it's a compact, lockable bicycle shed for a private garden, a walk-in bike house for multi-family homes and residential buildings, or a large bike shelter for businesses, municipalities, and landscape architects: All systems are made of rust-free V2A stainless steel – durable, weather-resistant, and individually customizable.
What is the difference between a bicycle shed and a bike house?
The terms are often used synonymously but differ in height and access:
- Bicycle shed: compact, lower design. The bicycle is pushed in – ideal if the view from ground-floor windows should remain unobstructed.
- Bike house: higher, walk-in version. You walk in upright and can conveniently park bikes, e-bikes, and accessories.
- Bike shelter: open shelter that protects against rain and snow – for public and commercial parking spaces with many bikes.
Many of our models combine both: a closed, lockable bike house with an optional covered area.
Materials: V2A stainless steel, wood, or a combination
Unlike many inexpensive plastic or thin sheet metal boxes, we rely on high-quality, durable materials:
- V2A stainless steel (rust-free): load-bearing frame construction, extremely weather-resistant, and low-maintenance.
- Stainless steel perforated sheet cladding: modern, stable, and opaque.
- Douglas fir wood cladding: warm look that harmoniously blends into gardens and facades.
Lockable and theft-proof – also for e-bikes
High-quality e-bikes and pedelecs, in particular, need secure protection. Our enclosed bike houses and bicycle sheds are equipped with doors and are lockable – so your bikes are reliably protected from theft and weather.
Sizes and capacity – from single parking spaces to collective systems
Our bike and waste bin houses are available in six sizes – from size 1 (269 × 180 cm) to size 6 (531 × 354 cm). This way, you will find the right capacity for everything from single households to larger residential complexes; we can manufacture special sizes upon request.
Bicycle and waste bins combined – two problems, one solution
A special feature of our models: Bicycles and waste bins can be accommodated in a single, visually harmonious enclosure. This saves space and ensures a tidy courtyard and entrance area – particularly in demand by property management companies and in residential construction.
For private, commercial, municipal, and landscape architecture use
Whether it's a private property, company premises, public space, school, or municipal facility – our systems are flexibly scalable and are used nationwide. For landscape architecture companies, architects, and municipalities, we offer custom planning and manufacturing.
Does a bike house require a building permit?
Whether a permit is required depends on the federal state, size, and location. Smaller bicycle sheds are often exempt from procedures in many places, while larger bike houses may require a permit. We recommend clarifying this with your local building authority before purchasing – we will gladly provide you with the necessary technical documents.
Made in Germany – Quality, Delivery, and Installation
All bicycle sheds and bike houses are manufactured in Germany. You receive them as prefabricated kits including assembly instructions; upon request, a specialist company can handle the installation. Shipping is free, and delivery is scheduled with prior notice. This way, you create secure, tidy, and attractive bicycle parking spaces – durable and low-maintenance.
