Product Details:
Purpose-Built Cycle Parking for Schools
The Blox B is frequently specified as a school bike shelter where reliable, low-maintenance cycle infrastructure is required for pupils, staff, and visitors.
Typical applications include: • Primary and secondary schools • Academies and sixth form campuses • Colleges and university facilities • Community sports centres and leisure sites • Public sector developments promoting sustainable transport
As a dedicated cycle parking shelter, it supports safe, orderly storage while integrating well with landscaped surroundings.
Timber-Clad Construction with Long-Term Durability
The shelter combines natural timber with a strong steel framework to ensure long service life in exposed outdoor environments.
Key construction features include: • Vertical FSC® certified timber slats • Galvanised steel frames for corrosion resistance • Powder coated framework available in standard RAL colours • Materials selected for year-round weather protection
This approach delivers a covered cycle shelter that is both functional and sympathetic to school grounds and public realm design standards.
Open Front Design for High-Use Environments
The Blox B features an open front configuration, allowing quick access and easy supervision, which is often important in school settings.
Benefits of the open design include: • Efficient daily arrival and departure cycle movements • Clear visibility for safeguarding and security • Reduced congestion compared to enclosed compounds • Suitable positioning near main entrances or shared pathways
This makes it a highly practical bike shelter for active school travel plans.
Capacity and Modular Expansion
A standard 5000mm long unit provides accommodation for up to 12 cycles, with internal layouts designed to maximise space efficiency.
The modular system allows: • Multiple bays to be linked for larger cycle parking areas • Flexible layouts to suit site constraints • Future expansion as demand increases
For larger schemes, it can be paired with Broxap’s wider range of bicycle shelter and compound solutions.
Compatible Cycle Racks and Stands
The shelter can be fitted with a varied range of Broxap cycle parking products, depending on user needs and site requirements.
Options include: • Galvanised Sheffield cycle racks • Alternative cycle stands for mixed cycle types • Bespoke internal arrangements for schools or workplaces
It is often specified alongside Broxap’s wider cycle parking infrastructure and complementary street furniture.
Optional Gates, Lighting, and Finishing Details
To enhance usability and security, the Blox B School Cycle Shelter can be supplied with a range of optional features: • Mesh clad gates for visibility • Timber clad gates for a more enclosed finish • Hasp and staple locking arrangements • LED lighting or solar lighting for improved safety • Full installation service across the UK and Ireland
