I'm after information on external bike storage for tenements.
The stair in question is in Bruntsfield, and bike use is growing - which is good. Unfortunately there's not enough space in the ground level stairwell passage and bikes are being hauled up and down the stair which inadvertantly causes some scrapes and scuffs on the new stair decoration. This doesn't go down well with owners who have all chipped in for the cost of the redecoration.
Can't really see us getting the pavement bike storage furniture as there's already loads of shop and communal waste containers in position.
Plan B - no bikes go upstairs and we store bikes in the back green! But how to do this securely and successfully? Put down slabs with racks anchored into them once in position? Anchor some form of U-bolt into the walls? As the building is B-listed would we need planning permission for anything attached to the walls or to put up an awning/roof of some sort?
Any ideas, or being pointed in the right direction, would be extremely appreciated. Likewise knowledge of grants, or companies willing to install a solution for free in return for effusive publicity, would be very gratefully received ;o)
