The Big Bird Gullwing Cycle Shelter is a design-led, architecturally distinctive cycle storage solution that combines contemporary form with long-term performance. Its signature cantilevered “gullwing” roof profile delivers both visual impact and practical weather protection, making it suitable for high-profile commercial and public-sector schemes.
The structure utilises a strengthened box-profile sheet metal roof and a bespoke centralised guttering system, ensuring efficient rainwater management through strategically positioned outlets.
The gullwing roof is supported by a carefully engineered cantilever structure, minimising visual clutter while maximising clear spans and usable space beneath the shelter
