The Crosby Economy Smoking and Vaping Shelter is designed for projects that require a straightforward, durable smoking solution without specifying a larger or more complex structure. As an outdoor smoking shelter, it provides reliable weather cover, clear visibility and practical day-to-day functionality for designated smoking areas across commercial and public sector sites.
Its entry-level positioning makes it particularly suitable where a compliant sheltered space is needed quickly and cost-effectively, while still maintaining Broxap’s established standards for fabrication quality and external durability.
A key feature of the Crosby design is the option to specify side panels split either horizontally or vertically. This allows the shelter to provide sufficient free area to the perimeter in support of smoking and vaping legislation, while also giving specifiers flexibility in how weather protection is prioritised.
Panel configuration options include:
• Horizontally split version – increased protection across the width of the shelter, clad to half height throughout
• Vertically split version – full-height cladding to the rear and half of the side for a more sheltered back and side arrangement
This makes Crosby a practical smoking shelter UK option where compliance and simple specification are the main project drivers.
The shelter is fitted with 4mm thick Clear-view PETg UV sheeting, providing a light, open appearance with effective sheltering from wind and rain. The clear cladding supports visibility into and out of the structure, which is often important in workplace and public-facing environments.
Cladding features include:
• 4mm thick Clear-view PETg UV sheeting
• Clear panels to maintain visibility and improve passive supervision
• Rear cladding design that improves user comfort in exposed locations
As a smoking shelter, Crosby offers a practical balance between protection and openness for routine site use.
Although positioned as an economy model, the Crosby is built using welded end frames and purlins made from heavy-duty box section steel, assembled with anti-tamper high-strength bolts. The structure is hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 for corrosion resistance and long-term outdoor performance.
Construction highlights include:
• Welded end frames and purlins in heavy-duty box section steel
• Anti-tamper high-strength bolt assembly
• Hot dip galvanised finish to BS EN ISO 1461
• Designed for repeated external use in workplace and public settings
This construction approach supports reliable whole-life performance for a workplace smoking shelter in everyday operational environments.
The Crosby includes practical features that support immediate use as a designated smoking point, reducing the need for additional accessories at installation stage.
Standard features include:
• Internal perch seat to full width of shelter
• Cigarette bin
• Base plate fixing (non-adjustable)
These integrated elements make the Crosby a functional economy smoking shelter for staff areas, service yards and managed visitor locations.
The Crosby is commonly specified for:
• Offices and business parks
• Industrial and distribution facilities
• Healthcare estates
• Retail and leisure venues
• Public buildings and civic sites

It can also be paired with complementary Broxap products such as litter bins, bollards and perimeter furniture to support a more coordinated external environment.
