Your configuration details are being prepared.
01
A pattern in the walls
The cutouts in the metal add visual interest to the shelter front and create views through the cladding.
02
All-metal cladding
Steel walls do not require wood-specific treatments. Maintenance still depends on site exposure and the selected finish.
03
An open shelter that protects bicycles from rain
The roof covers the full length of the bicycle and protects it from rain, even without a front door. Its depth leaves some clearance at both ends. Protection varies with wind and site layout.

| Shelter length | Bike stands 1 tier | Racks 2 tiers |
|---|---|---|
| 2 m | To be assessed | 4 bicycles |
| 2,5 m | 4 bicycles | 8 bicycles |
| 4 m | 6 bicycles | 16 vélos |
| 6 m | 12 vélos | 24 vélos |

Examples calculated using the stands Oura Rack / Cyclo , for standard bicycles. The double-decker setup requires the tall version (post height: 2,85 m). Doors, passageways, layout, and cargo bikes can affect capacity. Use the configurator to check your exact layout.
What is the difference between Lapiaz and Rachais?
Both models have steel cladding. Lapiaz features a cutout pattern, while Rachais uses perforated sheet metal.
Is an open shelter enough to secure bicycles?
It protects parked bicycles from the weather but does not restrict access. Provide stands that allow bicycles to be locked, and choose an enclosed shelter if you need to control entry.
Can I adapt the dimensions to my site?
Choose the length, depth, and height from the formats available for this model. The layout also accounts for access, bicycles, and maneuvering.
