Product Details:
A Modular Bike Shelter for Modern Cycle Parking
The Blox A is specified as a high-quality bike shelter for 10 to 12 cycles where durability, appearance, and ease of use must align. Its modular format allows schemes to scale from small staff parking areas to larger multi-bay installations.
Typical environments include: • School cycle shelter provision for pupils and staff • Workplace travel plan cycle storage • Residential developments with shared bicycle parking • Transport interchanges and public realm projects • Leisure centres and community facilities
It can also be paired with Broxap’s wider cycle parking range for cohesive site design.
Timber and Steel Construction for Long-Term Performance
Built for exposed outdoor settings, the Blox Cycle Shelter uses carefully selected materials to ensure resilience and minimal maintenance.
Key construction features include: • Vertical FSC® (FSC-C122338) timber cladding • Galvanised steel frames for corrosion resistance • Powder coated framework available in standard RAL colours • Cantilevered form to maximise usable space beneath the canopy
This combination delivers a dependable bicycle shelter that integrates naturally into landscaped surroundings.
Cantilever Design for Clear Access and Efficient Layouts
The cantilevered structure provides weather protection without creating unnecessary obstructions at the front of the shelter. This makes day-to-day use straightforward, particularly in busy school settings.
Benefits include: • Clear cycle manoeuvring space • Improved accessibility for a range of users • Efficient placement along building lines or pathways • A contemporary appearance suited to modern developments
As a covered bike shelter, it supports year-round cycling by keeping cycles sheltered from rain and debris.
Capacity and Cycle Storage Options
The shelter is available in configurations suitable for 10 or 12 cycles, depending on the selected internal layout.
Standard options include: • 5000mm length module with up to 12 cycle capacity • Compatible Sheffield cycle racks • Alternative cycle stands for mixed bicycle types • Modular expansion for larger cycle parking shelter schemes
It is often specified alongside Broxap’s cycle stands, compounds, and access-controlled storage solutions.
Multi-Purpose Applications Beyond Cycle Parking
The Blox A structure can also provide flexible covered space for additional site requirements. In education and public sector settings, it may be adapted for uses such as: • Covered handwashing stations • Outdoor storage points • Shelter for site circulation areas
This adaptability makes it a valuable asset where multi-functional infrastructure is required.
Optional Features and Installation Support
To meet project-specific requirements, the Blox Cycle Shelter can be supplied with a range of enhancements: • Powder coated steelwork to match surrounding street furniture • LED lighting or solar lighting for improved safety • Bespoke Blox shelter variations for larger or specialist schemes • Full installation service across the UK and Ireland
