The Blox A is a cantilevered two tier cycle shelter designed to maximise cycle parking capacity while maintaining a clear, uncluttered frontage. Combining FSC®-certified timber cladding with a galvanised steel frame, it offers a robust and visually restrained solution for sites where space efficiency and ease of access are key considerations.
Its cantilevered form distinguishes the Blox A from other shelters in the range, providing weather protection without introducing front supports that can restrict movement.
Product Details:
The Blox A cycle shelter is a timber and steel framed shelter which is available for 20 or 24 cycles using the Two tier Bike Racks.
Cantilevered Double Deck Design
The elevated, open-front structure allows cyclists to access the shelter freely, making it particularly suitable for high-traffic environments. As a double deck cycle shelter, the Blox A accommodates bicycles on two levels, delivering high capacity within a compact footprint.
Key design advantages include: • Clear access with no front columns to obstruct movement • Efficient use of space through two tier cycle parking • Compatibility with a range of two tier bike shelter rack systems
In standard configurations, the shelter can accommodate 20 or 24 cycles, depending on the selected rack layout.
Timber and Steel Construction
The Blox A is constructed using FSC® (FSC-C122338) certified timber cladding mounted on a galvanised steel framework. This combination ensures long-term durability while offering a softer visual profile suitable for landscaped and urban settings alike.
Material and build features include: • Galvanised steel frame for structural strength and corrosion resistance • FSC® timber cladding for responsible material sourcing • Powder-coated framework option for colour coordination
The shelter is designed to withstand prolonged outdoor exposure with minimal maintenance requirements.
Flexible Use Beyond Cycle Parking
In addition to its role as a two tier cycle rack shelter, the Blox A can be adapted to support other site functions. The open, cantilevered layout allows it to be used as a multi-purpose structure where covered space is required, such as accommodating handwashing stations or other ancillary facilities alongside cycle parking.
This adaptability makes it particularly useful for sites with evolving operational needs.
Installation and Modular Options
The Blox A is modular in design, allowing it to be installed as a standalone unit or combined with additional Blox shelters to form larger compounds. This supports phased development and future expansion without redesign.
Available options include: • Selection of two tier cycle rack systems • Integrated LED or solar-powered lighting • Bespoke Blox shelter configurations • Full installation service
These options enable the shelter to be tailored to specific site, capacity, and access requirements.
Typical Applications
The Blox A two tier cycle shelter is well suited to environments where high-capacity cycle parking must remain accessible and visually controlled.
Common applications include: • Transport hubs and interchange facilities • Business parks and office campuses • Educational and public sector sites • Mixed-use developments with limited frontage space
It is often specified as part of a wider active travel strategy, alongside complementary shelters and end-of-trip facilities.
A High-Capacity, Accessible Shelter Solution
The Blox A provides a considered approach to double tier bike shelter design, combining capacity, accessibility, and material quality. Its cantilevered structure, modular flexibility, and durable construction make it a dependable two tier cycle shelter for long-term public and commercial use.
By supporting efficient two tier cycle parking while remaining adaptable to future needs, the Blox A offers a practical solution for evolving environments.
