Prefabricated bus shelters are also known as bus stops, transit shelters, smoke shelters and even butt huts. Whatever the name, the purpose is the same – to provide people with some added degree of comfort by shielding them from the wind, rain, snow or even sunshine. The most basic bus shelter has a roof and 3 walls to support the roof.
The most economical bus shelters will have a single flat roof and walls that are mainly glass with a minimum of either steel or aluminum framing. The shelters can either be pre-assembled to save the purchaser the labor cost for on site assembly, or “pre-engineered” for on site assembly by their crew. As budget and space allow, larger and more “deluxe”shelters can be fully enclosed and include custom roofs, doors, benches and electric light and radiant heaters!
Bus shelters & smoking shelters can be either steel or aluminum as per the specifiers’ preference. Aluminum shelters have the reputation for superior resistance to rust while steel shelters are quite rugged and can be moved very easily. Aluminum bus shelters can be bronze, or white, or clear anodized as standard finishes, while steel shelters are painted in customer’s choice of color.
Whatever or whoever you are sheltering, an aluminum or steel bus shelter can be adapted to meet your needs.
