Duo-Gard has added a new model to the company’s growing line of bicycle shelters. The Van-Gard is the 11th addition to its standard bike shelter models.

Van-Gard features a classic style with a contemporary twist. The shelter’s design integrates architectural aesthetics with the security of optional solar lighting. The curved roof is created with laser-cut aluminum plates welded into the arched rafter assemblies. Translucent glazing is 8mm clear multiwall polycarbonate in a batten style.

Duo-Gard offers a new all-in-one, flat panel, mast-mounted solar module for illumination. The unit is capable of swiveling in any direction to achieve maximum efficiency. Like all Duo-Gard shelters, the Van-Gard model is specifically engineered for area wind and snow loads.

“We’re proud to see our bike shelters as a component of an environmentally aware approach to alternative transportation at facilities across America,” said Michael Arvidson, executive vice president.

Both framing and glazing are available in a wide array of architectural colors. The Van-Gard bike shelter’s standard sizes range from 9’x12’ to 9’x36’ as well as custom.

The company’s shelters are designed to address specific bike parking needs and adhere to APBP guidelines. Duo-Gard’s team collaborates closely with you to provide recommendations for your specific site and project goals.
