Newly promoted Premier League team Burnley FC have also promoted their supporters with a new canopy! Falco installed 15m of our FalcoGamma canopies over Burnley’s disabled seating area enabling over 32 people to remain under cover for those cold Northern Winter matches! The bolt down FalcoGamma canopy is a quick and easy to install solution for both new developments and retrofitting onto existing spaces. Ideal as a weather shelter, or cycle canopy the FalcoGamma is manufactured from hot dipped galvanised steel and provides a long lasting robust solution.

Falco has a long trading history with Higgins Construction and completed a number of high profile projects on their behalf. At this prestigious Granville Road site, Higgins used the FalcoLok store for its versatility and quality, and as Londoners are keen cyclists, wanted a robust and secure solution. The FalcoLok in its different sizes was an ideal solution for securely storing all of the residents cycles in the various locations on the site. The residents also wanted a store for their bins and so the FalcoLok series was a perfect choice because of its multi-purpose functions. Both bicycles and bins were safely locked out of site which created a tidy and secure area Falco also supplied all of the brick built garden store flat steel roofs, so as to be in keeping with the cycle stores nearby. Each roof had to be made to measure as many of the garden stores were bespoke to each individual property.

The new FalcoSafe cycle lockers at Milton Keynes Railway Station have proven to be a great success. Falco has had a close working with Milton Keynes Council for many years and the partnership has strengthened following the positive response from the users of the FalcoSafe cycle lockers. Installation cycle lockers Two years ago Falco installed 80 of FalcoSafe Round cycle lockers after high demand from regular commuters for a secure area to store bicycles. These cycle lockers proved to be a huge success after no bicycles were stolen or vandalised in these 2 years and word began to get around. More demand arose for the cycle lockers which prompted Milton Keynes Council to commission 70 more of the lockers which Falco installed last month. Personal cycle locker These cycle lockers were personalised with the ‘Cycle MK’ Milton Keynes logo and the cycle lockers are leased out to the public for a small annual fee. The demand for these lockers is so high that Milton Keynes still has a rented waiting list for more of the personalised cycle lockers to be installed at the station. More about the FalcoSafe cycle locker The FalcoSafe cycle Locker is a robust and secure cycle storage unit which protects bicycles and mopeds from the destructive effects of vandals and weather conditions. The steelwork is hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 to provide long lasting protection and Milton Keynes decided to have the doors powder coated in one of our many RAL colours. Any number of cycle lockers can be linked together and in addition, the lockers can also be placed back to back. This great flexibility allows you to choose your own combinations and lengths. The standard cycle locker is suitable for securing with a user’s padlock and with coin return.

This Christmassy snowy scene features one of Falco’s most popular products, the FalcoTel secure store. After popular demand from local residents for a secure cycle store, their request was answered by the successful addition of the FalcoTel cycle store to their area. Cycle store and more This Falco shelter has proved a triumph to the residents of Merton Road as more and more people in the neighbourhood are keen to take advantage of the FalcoTel cycle store. It is not only being used as a bicycle store but also as a secure store for various equipment for those without the free space. Popular range of shelters The FalcoTel range is a popular modular shelter capable of meeting most applications. There are a wide number of configurations of the FalcoTel family from a simple open canopy or double sided unit to a secure store or a wall mounted canopy. This particular shelter is known as the FalcoTel-K store which is the securest of all stores in the FalcoTel range. The FalcoTel-K is slightly deeper than the standard range and is ideal as a cycle store enabling cyclists to manoeuvre their bikes in and out safely. The FalcoTel-K shelter also comes complete with a Euro profile cylinder lock to create the secure store. Sandwood Design & Build – Merton Road, London.

The heavy snow in Wales didn’t prevent the installation of this FalcoBreeze canopy with FalcoToasters for cycle parking. This installation was involved in Phase II of the on-going project at Ebbw Vale Innovation Centre. New canopy The FalcoBreeze canopy is a fairly new product to Falco offering a great alternative where floor space is limited. The FalcoBreeze canopy offers a great overhead canopy space, helping to keep bicycles dry in the typical British weather, whilst occupying a minimum of floor space with this model canopy. Length of canopy The length of the FalcoBreeze ranges from a 2,000mm long canopy to a much greater span of 5,000mm. Add-on sections are also available for extra length and coverage. The South Wales Innovation Centre was developed to provide a state of the art working environment to support the needs of new and developing businesses and play an important part in the area’s regeneration. This facility offers a choice of office and workshop accommodation suitable for a wide range of business activities so the new FalcoBreeze canopy has proved a useful and valuable addition for all employees.

This series of FalcoSpan canopies were installed over Christmas at Glory Park in High Wycombe. The architect took our modular FalcoSpan design and added wooden cladding around the uprights to add a touch of class enabling the shelter to blend perfectly with the building. Flexible canopies The FalcoSpan series of canopies offer great flexibility, useful for smoking shelters, cycle shelters, walkways and general shelters. An exceptionally attractive and open shelter, the FalcoSpan can cover every option. Keeping natural The blending of the FalcoSpan canopies with the building was important to upholding the idea of a natural environment as BAM stated that their aim was for the Park’s architecture to reflect and grow naturally out of the site’s features. Because of Glory Park’s popularity and industrious nature, their demand for cycle parking was high which lead to their interest in the six bays of FalcoSpan canopies which Falco installed. State of the art Glory Park’s appeal comes from its pleasing combination of state of the art office space with a sympathetically landscaped and thoroughly natural environment. The result is a restful and dynamic workplace. The Park and its surrounding villages offer occupiers a rural setting with the world of commerce close to hand. BAM Construction - Glory Park.
