The defining feature of the Orbital pushchair shelter is its circular structure. This curved design softens the visual impact within playgrounds and courtyard areas, making it particularly suited to early years settings.
A key element is the easy slide-down door system, which:
• Fully encloses the shelter when closed
• Provides complete cover from rain and debris
• Allows the unit to be securely locked
• Helps reduce the risk of vandalism or unauthorised access
When open, the shelter offers straightforward access for staff and parents during busy drop-off and collection times.
As a dedicated nursery buggy shelter, the Orbital unit supports safe and organised storage of pushchairs during the school day. It also functions effectively as a junior bike shelter, accommodating smaller cycles in early years and Key Stage 1 environments.
Typical applications include:
• Nursery and pre-school entrances
• Primary school playgrounds
• Children’s centres
• Community childcare facilities
• Family hubs and healthcare settings
By centralising storage in a purpose-built buggy parking shelter, sites can maintain clear access routes and reduce clutter around entrance areas.
Manufactured for permanent outdoor installation, the Orbital buggy shelter is built to withstand everyday use and changing UK weather conditions.
Key characteristics include:
• Circular structural framework
• Fully enclosed design when locked
• Durable materials suitable for high-traffic environments
• Compact footprint for efficient use of space
Its enclosed form helps protect stored items from wind-driven rain and airborne debris, reducing maintenance and improving longevity.
To accommodate varying site requirements, a range of optional features is available (POA):
• Available without door
• Polyester powder coated to a standard colour
• Installation service available
The doorless option may be suitable for lower-risk environments where open access is preferred. Powder coating allows coordination with school branding or external colour schemes.
Broxap’s installation service ensures secure fixing to suitable foundations, providing long-term stability and safe operation.
The Orbital outdoor bike shelter can be specified as part of a broader external works scheme. It is often installed alongside:
• School entrance canopies
• Cycle shelters for older pupils and staff
• Scooter racks
• External seating and planters
This integrated approach helps create organised, well-planned outdoor spaces that support safe circulation and clear storage zones.
