Many people will get to use Dero’s new Bike Depot. The modular storage shelter can store up to 14 bikes, depending on the configuration.

Designed for use in places like transit stations, university campuses, and residential buildings, the Bike Depot features a steel frame, heavy-duty wire mesh, and a corrugated metal roof. Its double doors come with a latch that locks by key. The doors can be kept completely shut or fully open, making the depot an option for both long-term and short-term bike storage.

Dimensions are roughly 12x8x10 feet with six different configurations. The two-tiered Duplex, holds 14 bikes, and the two-tiered Dero Decker and vertical Bike File fit 12. The vertical Ultra Space Saver and horizontal Hoop Rack each can contain eight bikes, and Campus Rack S5, which is bolted to the ground, stores five. Bike Depot units can be linked together for additional space.

The Bike Depot comes in 250 powder-coated colors, and galvanized meshes and frames are available. The depot can be ordered without the mesh cage, as well.
