Asymmetric Gullwing Canopies & Walkways
Broxap’s asymmetric gullwing canopies utilise a specialised offset structural profile to maximise covered pedestrian walkways while accommodating tight or complex site constraints. Featuring an off-center central upright spine and an uneven sweeping roof, this distinct architectural shape provides multi-directional weather protection without requiring a massive physical footprint.
Designed, manufactured, and installed to strict UK engineering codes, our gullwing structures deliver striking visual interest alongside a guaranteed 50-year structural design life.
Architectural & Practical Advantages
Dual-Width Coverage
The offset central spine allows you to create a wider pedestrian walkway on one side of the columns and a narrower walkway (or specialized shelter) on the other.
Dynamic Flow Control
Perfectly suited for busy public transport hubs, airport drop-offs, and school campus corridors to split and direct different traffic flows.
Multi-Purpose Layouts
Highly effective for creating dual-purpose zones—providing dedicated pedestrian walkways on one side of the structure and covered cycle parking or seating on the reverse.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Built with hot-dipped galvanized steel frames, welded end sections, and anti-tamper high-strength bolts to withstand high-wind public realm settings.

Testimonials
"The quality of service and installation was second to none"
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, your design team and your installation team for their hard work and performance at Richmond Primary School in Hinckley.
As you know the design concept for the canopies was particularly difficult to achieve and the finished product is an important feature of the school.
Your assistance and advice to Value Engineer the finished design was crucial and fundamental in their inclusion in the finished scheme. Throughout the procurement and design processes the open communication links has resulted in a product that not only looks great but is one that the end user is thrilled with.
The finished product belies the effort required, particularly when considering the sequencing, access and programme difficulties which proved a challenge for all of us. The quality of service and installation was second to none.

"Great Job"
Have to say Broxap Ltd did a great job of realising our design for a cantilevered pergola. They also supplied purpose made benches.
