Broxap is a leading designer, manufacturer and installer of a vast range of commercial cycle parking products including bike storage.
Our dedicated cycle parking division is committed to helping clients source the active travel infrastructure that best suits user need.
Products range from cycle shelters, cycle hubs and bike storage compounds for long-stay, regular or overnight cycle storage, to commercial bicycle racks and stands for short-stay cycle parking requirements.
We work with clients across the UK to provide high quality, secure cycle parking equipment for schools, the public realm, transport interchanges, NHS sites, residential developments and workplaces. With Government targets in place to enable more people to choose walking, wheeling or cycling as their first choice for travel, having robust, long-lasting cycle parking facilities in place is a must.
Our products are designed to inspire confidence in users through safe, easy access and inclusive designs as well as contribute towards connected communities.
Cycle parking solutions from Broxap include two-tier bike racks and other space-saving equipment.
We have high-density, high-capacity cycle parking covered through a combination of made-to-measure cycle hubs and innovative shelter designs for maximum protection.
Our range of inclusive cycle parking equipment ensures provision for non-standard and adapted bikes so clients can meet accepted parking and security standards for the public.
The inclusion of cyclist facilities can also contribute to BREEAM building certification status and contributes to ENE8 credits when used in the appropriate situation, under the Code for Sustainable Homes.
Our bike shelters for primary schools can be customised with scooter racks, bright graphics and colourful finishes to embed a culture of active travel among KS1 and KS2 pupils.
With security at the heart of our cycle parking designs, we offer a range of styles and materials from galvanised steel to sustainably-sourced timber.
We understand that different sizes and shape of bike, as well as manoeuvrability, needs to be considered in the design and installation of all cycle parking facilities.
We’ve also come up with a range of useful cycle parking accessories too, including a bike pump, repair stand and cycle helmet lockers, to enable as many people as possible to benefit from a healthy transport network.

Yes. With our bespoke “design & build” offering, our standard design shelters can be modified to suit your site constraints or to align or avoid to door positions, windows, building reveals, as well as site topography. We also provide complete turnkey design consultancy service for unique canopy/shelter schemes, turning architectural concepts into high quality, durable and commercially competitive constructs.
Yes. For bespoke canopy/shelters, we provide reactions for the design and construction of foundations by others. For pre-designed standard products, we can provide drawing for these to be assessed by your engineering consultant(s). In cases where you do not have an engineer or contractor as part of your project, we can provide a quotation for the design and construction of the foundations.
A nominal minimum gap of 50mm will be required between the shelter and a building to allow for deflections. A Weather Resistance Barrier (WRB) can be provided to close this gap.
Yes, we offer a range of options such as PVC roll up panels, Roller Shutter Doors and PETg UV Side Panels. For more information and ideas on how to enclose your shelter click here.
Structural mild steel, including UKCA Marked (formally “CE Marked”) Steel*; Stainless-steel (grade 304 or 316); fabricated and/or cast aluminium; FSC* structurally graded and non-graded softwood.
*Where required.
Virtually all roofing materials. Popular choices are for polycarbonates, PVC tensile fabric (membrane), shade cloth, or an architectural profile metal cladding. We also use laminate glass, heat soak toughened glass (or both toughened AND laminate glass), as well as green roof technologies, built-up metal roofs and aluminium panels (e.g., bandstands).
Rainwater goods, such as guttering and down pipes, are optional features for most shelters and canopies. Rainwater goods/downpipes (if required) would typically discharge at ground level into a gully. Any rainwater goods shall typically consider the flow rates of BS EN 12056-3:2000.
It is advisable to reach out to your local authority to inquire about the need for planning permission. The requirement for planning permission can vary based on a range of factors including the size, exact location, and nature of the project. It is important to provide detailed information to ensure accurate guidance.
Building Regulations specify the standard to which a structure should be built i.e., strength, fire ratings etc. All of our bespoke structures are designed to BS EN 1990:2002+A1:2005 Eurocode – basis of structural design; BS EN 1993-1-1:2005 Eurocode 3 – Design of steel structures; BS EN 1991-1-3:2003 Eurocode 1 – Snow Loads; and BS EN 1991-1-4:2005 Eurocode 1 – Wind Actions. When specifying your canopy/shelter requirements, it is important to emphasise this requirement, to ensure against cheap products from rogue traders that may fail.
Yes. Our pre-designed range of shelters consider specific wind and snow loading criteria from the above for general use in the UK.
Yes. Bespoke designs are assessed and underwritten by an independent Structural Engineer. It is advisable that you contact your Local Building Control Officer to confirm if your canopy will need to conform to any specific Building Regulations. With their predetermined components/connections, there may be certain sites (e.g., high altitude, coastal towns etc…) that require our pre-designed “standard” products to be assessed, either by others or by us for a professional service charge.
Yes, we can provide a one stop shop from the initial site visit, to ordering your shelter, completing a site survey & groundworks along with an installation service.
