- Internally in a larger bike parking compound

Oxfam Australia
Oxfam required maximum bike parking capacity at their new inner Melbourne headquarters.
To achieve this we used single sided framing against a non load bearing plasterboard wall providing parking for 17 bikes. In addition framing was located in the centre of the space providing parking for a further 26 bikes. Ned Kelly rails were attached to both sides of this framing.
Had we not used custom framing in this situation, capacity would have been limited to 24 bike parking spaces all on ground mounted bike parking rails. We were able to increase capacity by 79%.
