Modular by design
Invest today without limiting future options: a flexible, future-ready solution.
The Carport’s structure is engineered from the start to support optional upgrades — including side panels (partial or full enclosure), rooftop solar kits, double-tier bike racks, and access control systems. No structural reinforcement or replacement needed later.

Secure investment: Start with an open shelter and add features as needs evolve — no upfront overcommitment.
Real weather protection — not just a basic shade canopy
Bikes are genuinely protected—not just 'less wet.' This is the difference between a basic roof and real, reliable protection.
With its 2.50 m deep, corrugated steel roof (no fragile polycarbonate), full-length integrated gutter, and hot-dip galvanized steel structure—identical to our enclosed bike shelters—the Carport delivers long-term, all-weather protection.
In practice:
- Bikes fully shielded from rain—enabling comfortable, everyday use
- No premature replacement (unlike aging, yellowing polycarbonate canopies)
- Durable performance with no visible degradation over time
Maximum bike capacity, optimized budget
Deliver the highest possible number of secure parking spots at the lowest cost per meter—the best capacity-to-budget ratio on the market.
The open-sided Carport shelter minimizes installed cost while maintaining a robust, engineered structure. Scalable to lengths of 10 m, 15 m, 20 m or more, it supports high-volume bike parking—meeting LOM (French Mobility Orientation Law) requirements without compromising durability.

FAQ: ByCommute Bike Carport
Everything you need to know about our scalable bike shelter
The ByCommute Carport stands apart from lightweight canopies in several critical ways:
- Same structural frame as enclosed shelters (hot-dip galvanized steel, 80×80 mm) → industrial-grade durability
- Corrugated steel roof deck (no yellowing or brittle polycarbonate)
- 2.50 m depth (real protection—not just symbolic coverage)
- Integrated gutter system (controlled water runoff—no puddling or splashing)
- Fully expandable: engineered to support side panels, solar panels, double-deck racks, and access control
Most competing canopies are lightweight, static structures. The Carport is a foundational, future-ready solution—built to last and adapt.
Yes—this is one of the Carport’s core advantages. Its structure is engineered from day one to support:
- Side panels (partial or full enclosure)
- A rooftop solar charging kit (for e-bike charging and autonomous lighting)
- Double-deck bike racks
- Access control systems (gates, badge readers, keypads)
No structural retrofitting or reinforcement is needed. It’s a secure, scalable investment—adaptable to your evolving budget and operational needs.
Absolutely. The Carport excels in high-capacity bike parking. We routinely install units up to 15 m, 20 m—and even 50 m or more. It’s the ideal choice for:
- Large employers (railway stations, industrial campuses)
- Public authorities (transport hubs, park-and-ride facilities)
- Sites prioritizing maximum bike capacity per budget dollar
Its modular design maximizes available space and delivers the highest possible number of secure parking spots. Explore our projects.
Not always. If the ground is stable (asphalt, paved surface, or concrete pads), the included adjustable feet (up to 20 cm) let you level the structure without costly civil engineering work.
For challenging terrain or soft soils, our engineering team provides a complimentary technical assessment and recommends proven solutions. Learn more about concrete pad foundations.
Yes—eligibility depends on your location, organization type (public authority, private company, social landlord), and current program criteria. See our 2026 Complete Subsidy Guide.
We assess your project’s eligibility and support you through every step of the grant application process.
The Carport is ideal when you need to:
- Maximize bike parking capacity within a controlled budget
- Deploy a future-proof, scalable solution (start open, add side panels or doors later if needed)
- Ensure intuitive, barrier-free access — no ‘cage effect’
- Rapid installation with minimal site disruption
If your priority from day one is enhanced security against theft or vandalism—or if you need to protect e-bikes and sensitive components like batteries—explore our range of enclosed bike shelters.
