See through the walls
The mesh keeps the parking area visible from outside and lets light in.
02
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.

Frequently asked questions
How many bicycles can be parked, depending on shelter length?
Here are some guidelines for Open Optimal , with a depth of 2,53 m . Capacity depends on the chosen layout.
| Shelter length | Bike stands 1 tier | Racks 2 tiers |
|---|---|---|
| 2,03 m | To be assessed | 4 bicycles |
| 2,53 m | 4 bicycles | 8 bicycles |
| 4,06 m | 8 bicycles | 16 vélos |
| 6,09 m | 12 vélos | 24 vélos |
| 8,12 m | 16 vélos | 36 vélos |
| 10,12 m | 22 vélos | 46 vélos |
| 11,65 m | 26 vélos | 52 vélos |
Examples calculated using the stands Oura Rack / Cyclo , for standard bicycles. The double-decker setup requires the tall version (post height: 2,65 m). Doors, passageways, layout, and cargo bikes can affect capacity. Use the configurator to check your exact layout.
How is Optimal different from solid cladding?
Optimal maintains visibility through its mesh. Solid cladding, such as Bosquet, conceals more of the shelter’s contents.
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.
