An Open-Fronted Sedum Roof Cycle Shelter for High-Capacity Parking
The Two-Tier Blox A Sedum Roof Cycle Shelter is designed for locations where cycle demand is high and space is limited, while maintaining visual quality and environmental performance. As a two-tier cycle shelter, it doubles storage capacity within a compact footprint while maintaining straightforward access for everyday users.
It is commonly specified for:
- University and college campuses
- Workplace and business park developments
- Transport hubs and commuter facilities
- Urban residential schemes
- Public realm cycle parking areas
The open-fronted format supports quick entry and exit, making it suitable for both short-stay and commuter use.
Living Roof Performance within a Two Tier Cycle Shelter
The integrated sedum roof introduces clear sustainability benefits while helping the shelter blend into landscaped or mixed-use surroundings. As a green roof cycle shelter, the Blox A design supports environmentally led schemes without adding visual bulk.
Sedum roof benefits include:
- Improved thermal moderation beneath the shelter
- Stormwater attenuation to support sustainable drainage strategies
- Biodiversity enhancement through planted roof coverage
- A softened roof profile that integrates well within green and urban settings
This approach makes the shelter particularly appropriate for developments where environmental credentials form part of the planning brief.
Timber and Steel Construction with Long-Term Durability
The structure is formed around a galvanised steel frame, providing strength and corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor use. Timber slats, available in FSC®-certified hardwood or softwood options, introduce warmth and texture, helping the shelter sit comfortably within public realm environments.
Construction features include:
- Galvanised steel structural frame for durability
- FSC®-certified timber cladding for a natural finish
- Materials selected for low maintenance and longevity
- Roof construction engineered to support a living sedum system
This material combination balances robustness with visual refinement, supporting repeated daily use in exposed locations.
Two Tier Bike Shelter Designed for Efficient Use of Space
The integrated two-tier rack system allows cycles to be stored on upper and lower levels, effectively doubling capacity without significantly increasing the shelter footprint. This two tier bike shelter configuration is particularly valuable on constrained sites.
Capacity examples:
- 4100mm unit: 20 cycles
- 5000mm unit: 24 cycles
The layout is designed to support clear circulation and safe loading, helping manage peak-time demand efficiently.
Flexible Specification and Optional Security
While the Blox A shelter is open-fronted as standard, it can be adapted to suit site-specific security and operational requirements.
Available options include:
- Powder-coated steel frames in a range of RAL colours
- Optional gates for controlled access
- Integrated LED or solar lighting
- Bespoke lengths to suit required capacity
The shelter is often specified alongside Broxap’s range of cycle stands and public realm furniture to create a coordinated cycle parking solution.
A Sustainable High-Density Cycle Shelter Solution
Combining efficient use of space, durable materials and a living roof system, the Two-Tier Blox A Sedum Roof Cycle Shelter offers a practical sedum roof bike shelter solution for modern developments. Its open, accessible format makes it particularly suitable for busy sites where capacity, usability and environmental consideration must work together.
