This architecturally pleasing design is constructed from heavy duty steel section and is assembled with anti-tamper proof high strength bolts.
It also features a PETg UV roof allowing maximum light to flow through the structure, creating a relaxing and airy environment. Available in a polyester powder coated standard colour.
The Asymmetric Cambridge is a practical asymmetric canopy developed for projects that require durable weather protection with a more architectural, open-sided form. Designed as an asymmetric version of the Cambridge shelter, it provides a strong visual profile while remaining suitable for everyday use in schools, public buildings and commercial environments.
Its layout flexibility and extendable design make it particularly useful where the canopy may need to grow with the site or be adapted across phased external works.
The asymmetric form gives this canopy a visually lighter appearance than more conventional centred-roof structures, making it well suited to contemporary education and civic schemes. It works effectively as a cantilever canopy style solution where a strong, uncluttered edge and clear covered space are important to the overall design.
Typical applications include:
• School canopy installations for circulation and gathering
• Entrance canopy provision to create sheltered arrival points
• Walkway canopy use along building frontages
• Covered waiting and breakout areas in public settings
This makes the Asymmetric Cambridge a versatile choice where a canopy needs to balance function with a considered architectural finish.
A key advantage of the Asymmetric Cambridge is its ability to accommodate extensions without drilling or welding. This supports a more efficient approach to future expansion and can be particularly beneficial on live sites where disruption needs to be minimised.
Extension benefits include:
• Can be extended without drilling or welding
• Suitable for phased project delivery
• Supports future adaptation as site requirements change
• Practical for longer runs and evolving external layouts
This flexibility makes it a strong option for schools and campuses where sheltered space requirements may increase over time.
The canopy is constructed from heavy-duty steel section and assembled with anti-tamper proof high-strength bolts, providing a secure and durable structure for repeated public use. This robust construction approach supports long-term performance in exposed external environments and busy pedestrian areas.
Construction highlights include:
• Heavy-duty steel section construction
• Anti-tamper proof high-strength bolt assembly
• Designed for durability in public-facing outdoor settings
• Suitable for high-use school and civic environments
This helps ensure the canopy remains a dependable asset in everyday use.
The Asymmetric Cambridge features a PETg UV roof designed to allow maximum light to pass through the structure. This helps create a brighter, more open atmosphere beneath the canopy, which is particularly beneficial in school and entrance settings where visibility and user comfort are important.
Roofing benefits include:
• PETg UV roof cladding
• High light transmission
• Bright, airy covered environment
• Practical weather protection without a heavy visual feel
This combination of shelter and natural light makes the canopy suitable for routes, entrances and informal gathering spaces.
The Asymmetric Cambridge is available in a polyester powder coated standard colour, supporting durability and a consistent finish across external environments. This also allows the canopy to sit neatly alongside surrounding building materials and other site infrastructure.
Finish feature:
• Polyester powder coated in a standard colour
It can also be specified alongside Broxap’s wider range of seating, bins and cycle parking to create a coordinated public realm or campus scheme.
The Asymmetric Cambridge is available in a standard unit size, with bespoke versions also available to suit project-specific requirements.
Standard unit size:
• Length: 5000mm
• Width: 4848mm
• Height: 2500mm
Additional sizing option:
• Bespoke versions available
This provides a useful starting point for specification while retaining flexibility for site constraints and design intent.
With its extendable design, heavy-duty steel construction, PETg UV roof and clean asymmetric form, the Asymmetric Cambridge provides a dependable asymmetric canopy solution for schools and public-facing sites across the UK & Ireland. Suitable as a walkway canopy, entrance canopy or sheltered gathering structure, it offers a practical balance of durability, light transmission and layout flexibility.
