The strength of the Cambridge lies in its versatility. Whether forming a single bay entrance canopy or a larger linked structure, it adapts to a wide range of site requirements.
Common applications include:
• Covered dining area canopy for schools, business parks and leisure facilities
• Outdoor social space shelter within landscaped public areas
• School outdoor learning shelter to support all-weather teaching
• Waiting and circulation areas
• Covered breakout zones
• Secure compound formations when combined with compatible screening systems
Multiple units can be installed together to form larger covered areas, making it suitable for phased developments or expanding estates.
The Cambridge is engineered as a modular outdoor canopy system. This enables:
• Flexible sizing to suit available space
• Seamless linking of bays for larger spans
• Adaptation to both new-build and retrofit projects
• Integration alongside other Broxap street furniture and shelter systems
Its proportions allow it to sit comfortably within contemporary school grounds, civic spaces and commercial landscapes without dominating the environment.
Durability is fundamental to the Cambridge shelter canopy. The structure is manufactured from robust steel sections designed for long-term external use in demanding environments.
Frame Construction

• Hot-dip galvanised for corrosion resistance

Roof Options
The Cambridge is available with trapezoidal roof cladding, with alternative finishes available depending on project requirements. Roof styles can be selected to suit:
• Visual preference

This flexibility allows the canopy to align with architectural intent while maintaining practical performance.
The Cambridge is frequently specified within:

As a school outdoor learning shelter, it enables year-round use of external teaching space, supporting outdoor curriculum delivery while protecting pupils and staff from adverse weather.

For sites requiring additional protection, the Cambridge can be formed into high-security compounds when combined with compatible shelter and screening systems.
Optional enhancements include:
