Custom Metal Fabrication of an Aluminum & Steel Bus Shelter

[click to enlarge]

Spencer Fabrications was approached by a municipality with this custom metal fabrication project. The aluminum and steel bus shelter shown here features solar-powered lighting and was developed to meet specific design requirements.

The 6'x13' customized structure was made of aluminum and steel with stainless steel hardware. Some of the features that we incorporated included a custom light box enclosure for the solar lighting, vandal-resistant durable construction and paint, and the ability to withstand winds up to 140 MPH. We finished the custom bus shelter with detailed scrollwork for aesthetics that fit the local area.

Upon development and fabrication of the shelter, we provided installation services at the customer's Florida location. The product was completed in 8 weeks and met Florida building code requirements.
