When comparing prices, consider the following:
- Prices vary according to the “finish”
- Delivery charges vary
- Prices quoted by suppliers are for basic galvanised stands, and will exclude delivery charges and VAT.
At first “butterfly” stands may seem cheaper at around £25 (1998) each.
But compare prices (excluding VAT) at Ridgeons in Cambridge:
- Parking for TWO bicycles = 2 “unfinished” butterfly stands @ £25.40.
- TOTAL = £50.80
- Parking for TWO bicycles = 1 galvanised and black plastic coated Sheffield Stand @ £59.00.
- TOTAL = £59.00
However the labour costs for installing Sheffield Stands in concrete might be higher. (We will be seeking building quotes from a number of local tradespeople).
