What are the best bike storage options for housing associations?

The challenge housing associations face

Housing associations are responsible for the cycling infrastructure of many residents at once, across buildings and sites that were often not designed with modern bike volumes in mind. Getting this right means choosing a product that is secure, durable, and works for the full range of bikes residents actually own.

The most common mistake is installing low-cost covered racks or basic sheds. These solve the weather problem but not the theft problem, and residents with valuable bikes will not use them. A storage solution that residents do not trust does not achieve the goal.

Housing associations across the Netherlands use Fietshangar to provide certified secure storage for residents.

Why Fietshangar works for housing associations

Fietshangar provides certified secure storage for up to six bikes in the footprint of one car parking space, accommodates e-bikes, and has a 25-year technical lifespan. The hot-dip galvanised steel frame and powder-coated roof require no repainting or significant maintenance, keeping long-term costs low.

Large Dutch housing associations have deployed hundreds of Fietshangars across their portfolios. Rotterdam's programme, with over 1,100 units, has several units coordinated through housing association partnerships.

Rotterdam's large-scale programme is largely managed through housing association partnerships.
