Newcastle Asymmetric Lattice

An Asymmetric Cycle Shelter for Flexible Covered Outdoor Space

The Newcastle Asymmetric Lattice is an asymmetric cycle shelter designed for projects that require practical weather protection with a distinctive structural form. Its asymmetric profile and lattice beam construction create a clean, contemporary canopy style that can be used for cycle parking, sheltered waiting areas or general covered external space.

This flexibility makes it particularly useful on education, workplace and public-sector sites where a shelter may need to support both cycle storage and wider amenity use within the same scheme.

Lattice Beam Design for a Strong, Architectural Shelter Form

A defining feature of the Newcastle Asymmetric Lattice is its load-bearing lattice beam construction, which gives the shelter a more considered appearance while maintaining structural performance for long-term outdoor use. The asymmetric roof form also helps the shelter stand out in prominent locations such as campus routes, visitor areas and building approaches.

Design and structural features include:
• Asymmetric canopy profile
• Load-bearing lattice beams
• Clean, contemporary appearance for visible site locations
• Suitable for cycle parking and general covered-area use

This makes it a strong option where an outdoor bike shelter is expected to contribute to the wider site design rather than operate purely as a utility structure.

Covered Cycle Shelter for Schools, Workplaces and Public Sites

The Newcastle Asymmetric Lattice can be specified as a covered cycle shelter across a range of sectors, particularly where projects require durable weather protection and a more refined canopy style.

Typical applications include:
• School and college cycle parking areas
• Workplace and office cycle storage zones
• Public building and civic site cycle parking
• Leisure destinations and visitor facilities
• Covered waiting or breakout areas within external schemes

As a cycle shelter, it can also be paired with cycle stands or other cycle parking products to create a complete and coordinated storage area.

ClearView PETg UV Cladding for Light and Visibility

The shelter is supplied with ClearView PETg UV sheeting, helping maintain good visibility and light transmission beneath the canopy while providing overhead weather protection. This is particularly beneficial in cycle parking environments where users value clear sightlines and a brighter covered area.

Cladding benefits include:
• ClearView PETg UV sheeting
• Good light transmission beneath the shelter
• Clear sightlines for safer-feeling cycle parking areas
• Durable cover for regular external use

This supports day-to-day usability in busy education and public settings.

Robust Galvanised Steel Construction for Long-Term Outdoor Use
The Newcastle Asymmetric Lattice is manufactured using welded end frames and purlin sections made from heavy-duty sections, assembled with anti-tamper high-strength bolts. The structure is hot dipped galvanised to provide corrosion resistance and dependable performance in exposed environments.

Construction highlights include:
• Welded end frames and purlin sections in heavy-duty sections
• Anti-tamper high-strength bolt assembly
• Hot dipped galvanised finish
• Robust construction for repeated public use

This makes it a reliable bike shelter option for high-footfall sites and long-term external infrastructure projects.

Submerged Fixing for a Clean Installation Detail

The shelter includes submerged fixing, supporting a neat finished appearance at ground level and helping reduce obstruction around the base in pedestrian and cycle parking areas.

Standard installation feature:
• Submerged fixing

This is particularly useful in shared access areas where clear movement around the shelter is important.

Options for Site-Specific Requirements (£POA)

The Newcastle Asymmetric Lattice can be adapted through a small range of options to support operational requirements and project delivery.

Optional features include:
• Internal lighting or solar lighting
• Installation service available

The ability to incorporate solar lighting can also support projects seeking lower-energy external lighting solutions.

Integration Within Wider Cycle Parking and Public Realm Schemes

This asymmetric cycle shelter is often specified alongside Broxap’s wider range of cycle stands, bollards, seating and litter bins to create coordinated external environments. It can be used as part of a broader arrival or mobility strategy, particularly on school campuses, workplaces and civic developments where cycle parking is located near main pedestrian routes.

Its dual use as a canopy or covered area also supports more joined-up site planning across different outdoor functions.

A Durable Asymmetric Cycle Shelter for UK & Ireland Projects

With its load-bearing lattice beams, ClearView PETg UV cladding, submerged fixing and galvanised steel construction, the Newcastle Asymmetric Lattice provides a dependable asymmetric cycle shelter for schools, workplaces and public spaces across the UK & Ireland. Designed for flexible use as a covered cycle shelter or general canopy, it offers a practical balance of structural durability and contemporary external design.
