Cladded Cantilever Racking – Secure, Weather-Protected Storage
For businesses handling long, heavy, or irregularly shaped goods that also require weather protection, cladded cantilever racking offers a powerful and efficient solution. By combining the strength of a cantilever racking system with protective steel cladding and roofing, this system creates a self-supported, weatherproof storage building.
Instead of investing in separate warehouses or sheds, cladded cantilever racking allows you to store and protect stock in a single integrated structure. It not only shields valuable goods from the elements but also maximises efficiency, safety, and space utilisation — making it a truly SpaceSmart storage solution.
Cladded cantilever racking is essentially heavy-duty cantilever racking fitted with external steel cladding and roofing. The uprights and arms of the racking double as the structural framework for the cladding, meaning there’s no need for a separate building.
The result is a cost-effective, high-capacity outdoor racking system that keeps goods dry, secure, and protected from rain, snow, wind, and UV exposure, while also reducing the need for extra construction.
All-weather protection – Shields stock from rain, snow, and sunlight, ensuring timber, metals, and other weather-sensitive products remain in prime condition.
Maximised space utilisation – Combines building and racking into one, saving on yard space and construction costs.
Cost-effective alternative to new buildings – Provides the same protection as a warehouse without the expense of a separate structure.
Flexible and scalable design – Available in single- or double-sided layouts, multiple heights, and custom bay lengths, with the ability to expand as needs grow.
Durable and safe – Built from heavy-duty steel to withstand harsh outdoor environments, industrial loads, and long-term use.
Cladded cantilever racking is widely used in sectors where large, heavy, or awkward items must be stored outdoors but need reliable protection:
Construction & Timber – Lumber, beams, plasterboard, and roofing materials.
Metal & Steelworks – Pipes, rods, bars, and heavy sheets.
Manufacturing – Large panels, fabricated parts, and irregular stock.
Building Suppliers & Yards – Trade materials requiring organised, weather-safe storage.
For these industries, cladded cantilever systems combine the accessibility of open racking with the protection of enclosed warehousing.

By choosing Ikon, you’re investing in more than a product. You’re gaining a future-proof warehouse storage solution that protects assets, improves efficiency, and maximises available space.
Storing long and heavy items outdoors can create challenges — from weather damage to wasted yard space and safety risks. Cladded cantilever racking solves these issues by combining robust load capacity, flexible design, and full weather protection in a single system.
The result is an organised, efficient, and weatherproof storage environment that works as hard as your business does.
Cladded cantilever racking functions as both storage and shelter, combining robust racking with an external cladding that transforms the racking system into a self-supporting, enclosed structure. This design protects materials from weather exposure while still providing the open, accessible design of cantilever racking, making it ideal for outdoor applications or storage areas without traditional warehouse space.
The SpaceSmart approach to cladded cantilever racking emphasises efficiency by merging storage and shelter in a single solution. This integrated design reduces the need for a separate building, helping you optimise space while maintaining a protected, high-capacity storage system.
Cladded cantilever racking is designed to withstand the elements, offering all-season protection for valuable materials. The cladded structure shields stored items from rain, wind, and UV exposure, making it perfect for storing items outdoors without compromising their quality or durability. This weatherproof setup minimises material degradation and reduces the risk of damage, which is essential for long-term storage of high-value or weather-sensitive items.
This system supports a SpaceSmart storage strategy by offering a cost-effective way to protect your inventory in an outdoor setting, keeping materials safe while maximising storage efficiency. Cladded cantilever racking’s all-weather design ensures that your items are accessible and well-protected year-round.
Cladded cantilever racking is specifically designed for oversized, bulky, or irregularly shaped items. Its cantilever arms provide unobstructed support for lengthy products, such as pipes, timber, and metal sheets, which can be challenging to store on traditional shelving. The open-front design enables easy access for forklifts, allowing for efficient loading and unloading without the limitations of enclosed shelving units.
By providing dedicated, open storage for oversized materials, cladded cantilever racking aligns with the SpaceSmart ethos of maximising usability and efficiency. This system keeps bulky items organised and accessible, ensuring your warehouse space is used to its full potential without compromising on safety or accessibility.
Cladded cantilever racking is a scalable solution that grows alongside your business. With its modular design, you can easily expand the racking system to accommodate additional inventory, ensuring your storage remains efficient and ready to adapt to changing needs. This flexibility allows you to increase storage capacity without investing in a separate structure, keeping your operations efficient and cost-effective.
This scalability is central to SpaceSmart thinking, as it allows your storage solution to evolve with your business. Cladded cantilever racking supports your growth, giving you a long-term solution that provides adaptable, weatherproof storage within a single, compact footprint.
Cladded cantilever racking offers an innovative approach to heavy-duty storage, integrating weatherproof protection with high-capacity, open-access shelving. Ideal for storing long or irregular items, this system provides efficient, accessible storage within a self-supporting structure that’s easy to expand. For companies focused on SpaceSmart solutions, cladded cantilever racking delivers durable, flexible, and weatherproof storage that adapts to your needs.
