What advantages do bike stores offer?

The use of a bicycle shed offers several advantages: Protection from the weather: A bike shed protects bicycles from rain, snow, sun and other weather conditions, which can extend their lifespan. Theft protection: Bicycle sheds can be fitted with locks or security devices to protect bicycles from theft. Space saving: A bicycle shed creates a dedicated space for storing bicycles and reduces the space problem in flats or houses. Aesthetics: Bike sheds can be available in different designs and styles and help to beautify the outdoor area.

What types of bike sheds are there?

There are different types of bike sheds, including: Freestanding bike sheds: these are stand-alone structures that are independent of other buildings and can provide space for multiple bikes. Wall-mounted bike sheds: These are attached to a wall and provide space for storing bikes in a vertical position. Covered bicycle parking spaces: These offer protection from the elements and are more open in design, such as bicycle pavilions or shelters.

How big should a bike shed be?

The size of a bike shed depends on the number of bikes to be stored in it. It should offer enough space to park the bikes safely and, if necessary, store additional accessories such as bike racks or tools.

Variobox from Käuferle - the bicycle shed for safe, weather-protected and space-saving storage of bicycles and e-bikes

Customised and with award-winning design

Bicycle shed as a system solution

Our bike shed is designed as a system solution that can be adapted to a wide variety of locations and functional requirements. This is ensured by the modular steel construction, the floor plans that can be individually configured according to your wishes and the wide range of design options, which were honoured with the German Design Award in 2021.

Ideal for large residential complexes and office buildings

Thanks to its robust construction and variable floor plans, the Variobox from Käuferle is ideal for large residential complexes and office buildings. The bicycle shed is open on one side and can be accessed by many users simultaneously from one or both sides. For optimum utilisation of the available space, it can be equipped with bicycle parkers in high/low position.

Our bike sheds are robust and durable

Regardless of whether you are interested in the one-sided open or closed bicycle shed - the Variobox from Käuferle is robust and durable. The supporting structure is made of hot-dip galvanised steel, while the wall elements, which are mounted at a distance from the ground on all sides, ensure good air circulation. The result: a long service life for your bicycle garage and the bicycles stored in it.

Our bike house is individual, proven and well thought out

Wide range of design options

The timeless design and the freely combinable materials for the façade panels (e.g. wood, metal or glass) enable a wide range of design variants. Regardless of its size, our bicycle shed blends harmoniously into any residential, office or commercial environment. On request, the Variobox from Käuferle is available with trellises and a green roof.

Numerous equipment details

Our range of equipment details and accessories ensures that our bike shed is easy and safe to use. For example, we offer charging facilities for e-bikes and energy-saving LED lighting with convenient motion detectors. With easy-to-operate bike parkers with high/low positions, the number of bikes that can be parked can be significantly increased with little effort.

Bicycle shed with solar roof and charging station

Photovoltaic modules mounted on house roofs help to convert solar energy into electricity. Thanks to the robust and durable steel construction, such modules can also be used on the roofs of our bicycle shelters and bikeports. They improve your ecological footprint and at the same time support the charging of the e-bikes parked in the bike shelter.

FAQs

Garage doors

When will my gate be put into operation?

Please contact our customer service when all preliminary work (such as laying the cables) has been completed and the gate area can be walked on freely. We will then arrange an individual appointment with you.

Which cables does the electrician have to lay for my new door?

After your door system has been approved, you will receive a cable routing plan tailored to your order. This plan shows all the cables that the electrician you have commissioned will need in order to carry out all the work.

Do I have to carry out maintenance on my gate system?

Inspections and maintenance of gate systems are regulated by law in Germany. However, many operators of gate systems are not aware that they have this responsibility. We would be happy to make you an offer for one-off maintenance or a maintenance contract. Your gate system will then be serviced once a year by our expert fitters.

Where can I get spare parts for my garage door?

Door systems are subject to heavy use on a daily basis, which can result in wear and tear. Thanks to the simple and clear design, some parts can be replaced quickly. Our customer service will be happy to help you. You can reach us on 0180 3900505 or at service@kaeuferle.de.

The emergency stop button is missing from my new gate system. Has this been forgotten?

Due to defined exceptions in the standards and guidelines, an emergency stop command device is not mandatory for our door systems, which of course comply with the latest state of the art.

After 15 years of continuous operation, one of the torsion springs on our door is defective. Do both springs now have to be replaced?

Please replace both springs. The springs are calculated for fixed load changes. If one spring breaks, the second spring is also just before the calculated breaking limit and should therefore be replaced. Our customer service team can offer you the necessary spare parts or carry out the repair of the gate system on request.

Partition systems

Do you also supply the locking cylinders for the UTS doors or which cylinder type is installed?

We will be happy to supply you with a locking cylinder for each door. However, this is not integrated into the locking system of your building. If you prefer a cylinder that matches the locking system, you will need a half cylinder in size 10/30 for our UTS doors with a PZ handle and a half cylinder in size 30/60 for doors with a lever handle set.
