At least 50% of the perimeter under the roof must be open space to ensure proper ventilation. Doors, windows, and other openable fittings do not count towards the 50% opening. There is no legal requirement to provide a smoking shelter, but providing a designated space prevents smokers congregating in undesirable locations. **Sector applications:** Hospitality (pubs, bars, restaurants, hotels), healthcare (NHS trusts, private hospitals, GP surgeries), education (schools, colleges, universities — discreet staff areas), offices and commercial premises, retail and leisure (shopping centres, stadiums, leisure centres, retail parks).

They are sturdy, vertical posts providing physical and visual barriers, typically installed along streets, parking lots, public spaces, and buildings. **What bollards are used for:** - **Pedestrian Safety** — Create protective barriers between vehicles and pedestrian areas. Lined along sidewalks near schools, parks, and shopping centres to separate traffic from people. - **Traffic Management** — Guide and control traffic flow in streets, car parks, and restricted zones. Separate lanes, indicate no-entry areas, prevent dangerous turns or encroachment on crossings or bike lanes. Flexible or removable bollards allow adaptable control. - **Building & Infrastructure Protection** — Security bollards placed around critical infrastructure (government buildings, power stations, commercial properties) to prevent vehicle collisions. Used as anti-terrorist and ram-raiding protection. Impact-resistant bollards protect storefronts, gas stations, and financial institutions. - **Perimeter Security** — Installed around properties, event spaces, and sensitive locations to prevent unauthorised vehicle entry. Often used in combination with fencing, gates, and surveillance. **Types:** Fixed, retractable, removable, and flexible designs. **Materials:** Steel, stainless steel, concrete, plastic, polyurethane, recycled materials, and timber. Design varies by intended use — some purely functional, others decorative to blend with architecture. Link: https://www.shelterstore.co.uk/library/the-ultimate-guide-to-bollards/ --- ### How to Choose the Best Metal Finish for Your Shelter or Canopy Shelter Store offers a selection of metal finishes to ensure the final product is high-quality, has a long lifespan, and aligns with the environment. **1. Powder Coated Finish** A dry finishing process applying a durable, protective, and decorative layer to metal surfaces. Finely ground powder (polymer resin, pigments, additives) is electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the metal surface. The coated object is then cured in an oven where the powder melts and forms a smooth, hard finish. Advantages: Any RAL colour available for custom aesthetic matching. Protective layer adds durability. Shelter Store built its own in-house powder-coating facility to complete orders faster with full quality control. **2. Galvanised Finish** Steel exposed to zinc (typically through hot dip galvanising — submerging in molten zinc). Zinc binds to steel forming a protective coating. Advantages: Excellent rust and corrosion resistance. Zinc acts as both physical barrier and sacrificial protection. Extended lifespan with minimal maintenance. Lower cost than stainless steel. **3. Galvanised & Powder Coated Finish** Combined option — best of both worlds. The strength and corrosion resistance of galvanised steel plus the colour choice and aesthetics of powder coating. Applied in that order (galvanise first, then powder coat). **Maintenance:** Different finishes require different care. Powder-coated surfaces may need touch-up over time. Galvanised finishes are largely maintenance-free due to sacrificial protection. Stainless steel requires periodic cleaning but no coating maintenance. --- ### Frequently Asked Questions About Smoking Shelters **What are the laws on smoking in the workplace in the UK?** The 2007 ban on smoking in public places ended all smoking in enclosed workplaces and public areas. Employers must display 'no smoking' signs and ensure people are not smoking on enclosed premises and most company vehicles. Fines up to £2,500 for failing to prevent indoor smoking, and up to £1,000 for lack of signs. **Are smoking shelters required by law?** No. There is no legal requirement to provide a smoking shelter. Employers and premises owners can choose to provide designated smoking space, or impose a complete smoking ban across all areas under their control (including outside premises and car parks). **What is the 50% rule for smoking shelters?** The shelter must not be substantially or fully enclosed. At least 50% of the perimeter under the roof must be open space. Doors, windows, and any fittings that can be opened and shut do NOT count towards the 50% — they can be closed at will, reducing ventilation. **What is a smoking shelter?** Any outdoor structure or roof-covered area designated for smoking. Options range from small wall-mounted canopies to large free-standing structures with benches for up to 20 people, ashtrays, and lighting. **Do I need planning permission?** Generally, smoking shelters fall under permitted development. However, this depends on size, location, and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. Always check with your local planning authority. **What are the benefits?** - Provides a designated smoking area, keeping entrances clear - Protects smokers from weather - Reduces second-hand smoke exposure for non-smokers - Contains cigarette litter - Reduces fire risk --- ## Blog — Selected Posts ### Smoking Shelters Regulations Explained The UK government implemented legislation in 2007 to regulate smoking, following similar bans in Scotland and Wales. The ban effectively ended all smoking in enclosed workplaces and public areas, with very few exceptions. The overarching aim was to discourage smoking and safeguard non-smokers from second-hand smoke. Employers must display 'no smoking' signs and ensure people don't smoke in enclosed work premises or shared vehicles. Staff smoking rooms are a thing of the past — all smokers must go outside. Fines: up to £2,500 for failing to stop indoor smoking, up to £1,000 for lack of signs. In Scotland, this is fixed at £200 but can go up to £2,500 if unpaid. **Is a smoking shelter required?** No legal requirement exists to provide one. However, if you don't provide a designated space, smokers will find their own spot — potentially causing problems with health and safety, litter (cigarette butts), noise, anti-social behaviour, and second-hand smoke. A well-designed smoking shelter prevents these issues. **The 50% rule:** The shelter must not be substantially enclosed. At least 50% of the perimeter under the roof must be open space. When installing against a wall, careful consideration is needed for side and front openness. --- ### Choosing the Right Bin Store: A Comprehensive Guide **Size:** The bin store must accommodate your waste volume AND fit the installation space. Multi Bin Store dimensions: 1600mm L × 1500mm W × 2075mm H per bay. Add 1600mm per additional bay. **Material selection:** Galvanised steel frame (standard on Paladin Bin Store) — cost-effective, durable, simple, excellent anti-corrosion. Timber cladding (Multi Bin Store) — beautiful, eco-friendly aesthetic. Perforated steel or steel mesh panels — ventilated, industrial look. **Security features:** Anti-vandal lockable gates with provided padlocks — standard on all bin stores. Spikes on top to prevent climbing. No crawl-under perimeter. All these features contribute to secure waste storage in shared spaces. **Customisation:** Different sizes per model, multiple panel material choices, steel frame finish options (galvanised or powder-coated), colour options. --- ## Index [The llms.txt content follows — see that file for the curated link index.] --- # Shelter Store — Index > Shelter Store is a UK manufacturer and supplier of outdoor shelters, canopies, street furniture, and access control infrastructure — smoking shelters, bus shelters, bin stores, bollards, seating, sports dugouts, pram shelters, and walkways.
