Shelters & Bin Stores

Shelters & Bin Stores

Armco Barrier Supplies provides made-to-measure steel shelters and bin stores for workplaces, education sites and managed residential developments. Whether you’re adding cycle parking, creating a designated outdoor smoking area or organising waste and recycling storage, start with how the space will be used and who needs to reach it.

Smoking Shelters

For workplaces that need a designated outdoor smoking area for staff or visitors. Start here if you’re deciding where that space should sit within the wider site. Explore smoking shelters

Bike Shelters

For covered cycle parking at offices, factories, warehouses and education sites. Start here if you’re planning bike parking as part of a staff travel scheme or improving facilities for people who already cycle to your site. Explore bike shelters

Commercial Bin Stores

For business waste and recycling areas, particularly where several waste streams or a mix of container sizes share one collection point. A commercial bin store is the starting point if the layout needs to accommodate larger trade waste bins alongside wheelie bins. Explore commercial bin stores

Wheelie Bin Stores

For sites where wheelie bins make up the full storage requirement. This range is a good starting point for communal bin areas at flats and housing developments, as well as workplaces and shops that use wheelie bins for their collections. Explore wheelie bin stores

Planning shelters and bin stores across your site

If you’re specifying more than one outdoor facility, mark the proposed locations on the same site plan. A spot that looks convenient on its own may create a pinch point once the other facilities are in use. For example, a bike shelter beside a service yard may work during most of the week, but the approach could cross the route used to move bins on collection day.

Think about who will use each area and when. At a warehouse, check how shift changes overlap with deliveries and collections. At an apartment development, consider how residents will reach the cycle parking and bin store while the site is being serviced. For a phased development, identify which facilities are needed at first occupation and where there’s room to add capacity later.

Briefing more than one shelter or store

For a new development or refurbishment, give each location a reference on the site plan and list what it needs to do. If several structures will be visible together, identify any finishes you want to carry across the project. Where the project is being delivered in phases, include the order in which each area is needed so it’s clear what to quote for first.

Discuss your shelter or bin store project

Tell us what you’re planning, where the facilities will go and which products you’re considering. If you have a site plan, include it with your enquiry so we can see how the shelters or stores will fit into the wider layout.
