Case Studies

A new purpose for our cycle box, the Midi Bike Box, this school uses the box for storage of play equipment! The Navigation Primary School in Altrincham, Manchester completed their school travel plan in 2008. A need was highlighted to produce storage for equipment in the external play area. The solution was the Midi Bike Box that fitted perfectly in the allocated space, creating a totally lockable and fun piece of equipment. The Midi Bike Box is normally used to stall bikes in it, but for this school it was just what they needed for their play equipment.

Falco placed a bin store, benches and planters to make this square a nice place to sit and relax in Trinity Square, Nottingham. The bin store is a version of the FalcoRondo with a steel roof and wooden sidewalls. It shows the flexibility of the shelter FalcoRondo. The shelter can be placed with or without sidewalls. Other roof coverings such as polycarbonate, or walls made of safety glass, solid plastic sheets or lattice work are also available. The benches are from the FalcoSwing street furniture series. These benches look good anywhere and resist all weathers. The Swing benches are vandal resistant because there are not any visible nuts or bolts on the seat or back support. The modular construction of the FalcoSwing street furniture makes many arrangements possible. Here you’ll find the bench with back support but they are also available without a back support and in a square or hexagonal arrangement. The Topazio planters are a traditionally dimensioned planter design for public and private spaces. The inside is water-resistant and eye bolts are included to ease movement. This square is complete with the bin store, benches and planters from Falco. Interested? Please contact us for advice about your project requirements.

The William Pears group viewed our products on the Falco Website in November 2008. They were looking for a shelter to cover and protect some existing stainless steel cycle stands. After searching through a range of our products, they made the decision to go for the clean and simple lines of the clear-roof FalcoGamma general purpose canopy. The cycle stands were pre-installed and so the canopy had bespoke alterations done via the Falco design office to fit with their requirements. The stands were situated next to the building entrance so the canopy needed to be a special length, with the height modified to clear the door entrance. The shelter was installed in the December and the client was so impressed with the Falco shelter that later this year they are looking to add some of our other products such as a bay of FalcoGamma smoking shelters as well as a Falco Camilla bench.
