Canopies & Shelters

Bringing versatility to every outdoor space, the canopies and shelters range from Broxap opens up the possibility of fresh opportunities, new ventures and innovative uses for existing site assets. With a canopy or shelter, outdoor areas are reimagined and given a new lease of life with function and purpose.

Our canopies for schools range includes everything from outdoor classrooms to cycle parking shelters, scooter parking facilities, playground shades and dining canopies. Our experienced teams understand that education environments need to deliver best value not only in terms of budget but also through the provision of a high-quality learning environment.
The benefits of opening up outdoor spaces to students are becoming increasingly important to wellbeing and performance, from early years settings right through to primary and secondary schools, colleges and higher education establishments.

Our varied range of shelter styles and designs ensures we can offer a canopy solution suited to every location, whether it is meeting specific policy aims such as providing UV protection and much-needed shade in summer, or for practical reasons such as releasing pressure on indoor space through the creation of an outdoor school dining area complete with weather-proof canopy. We also design, manufacture and install canopies for drop-off and pick-up points at schools, with many of our passenger waiting shelter options also suitable for the likes of healthcare environments.

On a larger scale we can provide covered parking options for ambulances, taxis and other vehicles as well as entrance canopies and car park shelters, offering protection to drivers as they retrieve their pay and display tickets. High capacity cycle parking facilities, such as our two-tier cycle parking shelters, are crucial for supporting employees in the healthcare industry, offering safe and secure cycle hubs where shift workers can leave their bikes with confidence.

Our smoking and vaping shelters also support hospital sites in their aims to become smoke free, creating vaping zones for those trying to quit the habit. These are also popular among out hospitality customers, looking to provide comfortable spaces where all customers are made to feel welcome. Modular polycarbonate canopies as well as fabric canopies open up al fresco dining options at cafes, pubs and restaurants while an entrance canopy can help venues stand out among the competition in the high street.

With active travel high on the government agenda, places to rest as well as cycle parking provision is important to the success of the public realm. Linking transport hubs with walking and cycling routes can be achieved with cycle parking infrastructure for railway stations and bus stations, as well as covered walkways to guide pedestrians safely to entrance and exit points.
Covered seating areas in town and city centres can double up as entertainment and street performance space, while the likes of our spectator shelters are designed with sports grounds in mind. Retail parks and business villages can encourage visitors to stay on site for longer with attractive covered outdoor socialising spaces, while maintaining busy shopping areas is made easier with our trolley parks and click and collect canopies.

Whatever the project, Broxap clients can be sure they are dealing with a responsible manufacturer, designing shelters which comply with Eurocode standards. Our engineers follow an embedded design philosophy of creating shelter and canopy products that are safe, strong and secure and which are made from long-life durable materials.
