The Extended Roof Section is a practical canopy extension designed to increase covered space across existing shelter and compound installations. It provides a straightforward way to extend roof coverage where additional weather protection is needed for cycles, users or access routes.
This makes it suitable for upgrade works, phased installations and projects where the original shelter footprint needs to be expanded without replacing the main structure.
Used as a shelter extension bay, this roof section can be fitted to shelters, compounds, walls or security fencing, allowing specifiers to adapt the covered area to suit site constraints and operational requirements.
Typical applications include:
• Extending coverage to cycle shelters
• Adding roof protection to secure compounds
• Linking shelter runs to walls or boundary lines
• Creating additional covered zones adjacent to fencing
This flexibility is useful for education, workplace and public-sector sites where layouts often need to be adjusted around existing infrastructure.
As a cycle shelter extension, the product helps increase usable covered space in cycle parking environments, supporting future growth in cycle numbers or improved protection at entrances and circulation points.
It is often specified where a standard shelter installation needs:
• Additional roof coverage to one side
• A follow-on bay to increase protected parking area
• Better weather protection along compound edges
• A coordinated extension to an existing shelter scheme
This supports phased cycle parking upgrades without the need for a complete redesign.
Extended Roof Section Sizes to Suit Common Shelter Widths
The Extended Roof Section is available to fit shelter sizes of:
• 1000mm
• 1250mm
• 1500mm
• 2000mm
These width options help the extended roof section integrate with a range of shelter and compound configurations, making it easier to match the extension to the existing installation.
Designed as a shelter roof extension, this product can be used across a variety of support conditions, including shelters, compounds, walls and security fencing. This gives specifiers a practical option when developing secure covered areas that do not follow a single standard shelter arrangement.
It is often specified alongside Broxap’s range of cycle shelters, gates, end panels and security fencing to create more complete covered compounds and cycle storage areas.
Where used in the appropriate situation, the Extended Roof Section can contribute towards gaining ENE8 credits under the Code for Sustainable Homes. It is also noted as BREEAM and Code for Sustainable Homes compliant.
Compliance-related information includes:
• Can contribute towards ENE8 credits (where applicable)
• BREEAM compliant
• Code for Sustainable Homes compliant
This can support projects where covered cycle storage and shelter infrastructure contribute to wider sustainability targets.
With compatibility across shelters, compounds, walls and security fencing, the Extended Roof Section provides a flexible canopy extension option for expanding covered areas on existing or new installations across the UK & Ireland. Suitable for cycle parking and secure storage environments, it offers a simple way to extend protection where site requirements change.
