The Cambridge Cantilever Walkway is a versatile cantilever walkway canopy developed for projects that require durable weather protection with a lighter, more architectural appearance. Its cantilever design creates a clean covered zone with strong visual appeal, making it well suited to schools, public buildings and commercial environments where both function and presentation matter.
The system is designed for everyday pedestrian use and can be configured for a wide range of layouts, helping specifiers deliver covered routes that integrate neatly with surrounding buildings and landscape schemes.
The versatility of the Cambridge Cantilever design makes it suitable for more than one application across the same site. It can be specified as a walkway canopy along pedestrian routes, as a covered walkway between buildings, or as an entrance shelter where protected arrival space is required.
Typical applications include:
• School walkway canopy routes between teaching blocks
• Covered pedestrian links on campuses and public sites
• Entrance canopies for schools and civic buildings
• Sheltered waiting and circulation areas
• Building-front canopies where a cantilever form is preferred
This flexibility makes it a practical choice for phased projects and estates requiring a consistent canopy style across multiple locations.
The canopy is constructed from heavy-duty steel sections and assembled using anti-tamper proof high-strength bolts, providing a robust structural solution for high-use external environments. This construction approach supports long service life and dependable performance in exposed conditions.
Construction highlights include:
• Heavy-duty steel section construction
• Anti-tamper proof high-strength bolt assembly
• Robust, tough construction for regular public use
• Designed for external installations in demanding environments
For schools and public realm schemes, this provides the reassurance of a durable canopy system built for repeated daily use.
The Cambridge Cantilever Walkway is specified with galvanised framework and fixings to support long-term durability in outdoor settings. This helps reduce maintenance demands and supports whole-life value in projects where the canopy will be in constant use.
Corrosion-resistance features include:
• Framework galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461
• Steel fixings galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461
• Submerged fixing for a clean installation detail
This specification is particularly beneficial for education and public sector projects where reliability and low maintenance are key considerations.
The canopy design supports strong natural light transmission, helping to create a brighter and more open feel beneath the structure. The product is noted for its ClearView PETg UV roof option, while a broader range of roof cladding choices is available to suit project-specific requirements for light levels, appearance and weather performance.
Roof and cladding options include:
• ClearView 4mm PETg UV
• Multiwall polycarbonate roof cladding
• Opal or bronze roof cladding
• Metal profile trapezoidal roof cladding
This range allows the canopy to be tailored to different site conditions, including routes where glare reduction, increased shading or a more solid roof finish may be preferred.
A key advantage of the Cambridge Cantilever Walkway is its ability to accommodate modular extensions to any length, with extensions added without drilling or welding. This supports efficient installation and future expansion, particularly on live sites where minimising disruption is important.
Extension and layout benefits include:
• Available in many sizes and orientations
• Made-to-measure dimensions
• Modular extension to any length
• Extensions can be added without drilling or welding
This makes the system well suited to phased campus developments and longer walkway schemes that may evolve over time.
The Cambridge Cantilever Walkway can be configured with a wide range of options to suit project aesthetics, drainage, lighting and site-specific requirements.
Options include:
• Framework powder coated to any standard RAL colour
• Aluminium guttering and downpipes
• LED lighting or solar lighting
• Coloured vinyl transfers
• Protective post pads
• Full installation service
These options support integration into wider school and public realm projects, and the canopy can be specified alongside Broxap’s seating, litter bins and cycle parking to create a coordinated external environment.
