Blox C Sedum Roof Shelter

An Open-Front Sedum Roof Shelter for Everyday Cycle Parking

The Blox C Sedum Roof Shelter is a compact, well-proportioned sedum roof cycle shelter developed for sites that require reliable cycle parking without the scale of a fully enclosed compound. Its open-fronted design allows straightforward access for daily users while maintaining a defined, sheltered parking area.

Typical applications include:

• Office and workplace developments
  
• Education campuses and staff parking areas
  
• Residential schemes with shared cycle facilities
  
• Public buildings and civic environments
  
• Landscaped public realm projects

The Blox C model is often selected where capacity is required, but visual impact must remain controlled.

Living Roof Shelter with Environmental Benefits

The integrated sedum roof gives the shelter clear environmental credentials, positioning it as a living roof shelter that contributes to wider sustainability goals. Once established, the planted roof layer requires minimal maintenance and performs reliably in exposed outdoor settings.

Key sedum roof benefits include:

• Improved thermal moderation beneath the shelter
  
• Rainwater absorption to assist sustainable drainage strategies
  
• Biodiversity support through low-growing vegetation
  
• A softened roof profile that integrates with green surroundings

As a green roof shelter, the Blox C supports planning-led design approaches where environmental performance is a consideration.

Timber-Clad Steel Construction for Long-Term Use

The shelter is constructed using a galvanised steel structural frame, providing durability and corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor installation. External faces are clad with FSC®-certified timber slats, available in hardwood or softwood options, creating a natural appearance that complements landscaped and urban environments.

Construction features include:

• Galvanised steel frame for structural integrity
  
• FSC®-certified timber cladding for sustainable sourcing
  
• Materials selected for low maintenance and longevity
  
• Roof structure engineered to support a sedum system

This combination ensures dependable performance while maintaining a refined, understated aesthetic.

Capacity Options for Flexible Site Requirements

The Blox C sedum roof shelter is available in two standard sizes, allowing specifiers to select capacity appropriate to site demand without overscaling the installation.

Standard capacity options:

• 4100mm length: 10 cycles
  
• 5000mm length: 12 cycles

The internal layout supports clear circulation and easy manoeuvring, making it suitable for regular commuter use.

Optional Security and Specification Enhancements

While open-fronted as standard, the Blox C shelter can be adapted to suit additional security or operational requirements.

Available options include:

• Mesh-clad or matching timber gates
  
• Powder-coated steel framework in a range of RAL colours
  
• Integrated LED or solar lighting
  
• Bespoke adjustments to suit site layouts
  
• Full installation service across the UK and Ireland

The shelter is often specified alongside Broxap’s cycle stands and wider street furniture range to create a coordinated and functional external environment.
