High-Density Two Tier Cycle Shelter for Busy Environments
The Two-Tier Blox B Sedum Roof Shelter is a high-capacity two tier cycle shelter engineered to meet the needs of areas where cycle parking demand exceeds the capacity of conventional single-level racks. Its double-deck configuration allows for a greater number of cycles within a defined footprint, making it well suited to urban landscapes, transport interchanges and large institutional campuses.
Common applications include:
- City centre commuter hubs
- Train stations and park-and-ride facilities
- University and college campuses
- Commercial and corporate workplace schemes
- Residential developments with shared cycle facilities
This shelter supports efficient use of space while maintaining clear access and circulation for routine daily use.
Sustainable Green Roof Cycle Shelter with Living Roof Benefits
By integrating a sedum living roof, the Blox B shelter functions as a sedum roof cycle shelter that brings both practical protection and ecological value to cycle parking infrastructure. The vegetated roof layer is designed to establish with minimal maintenance and to deliver measurable performance benefits.
The living roof contributes to:
- Rainwater management and attenuation to support sustainable drainage
- Thermal regulation underneath the canopy
- Habitat creation for local flora and fauna
- Softer integration with surrounding landscaping and built form
As a green roof bike shelter, this solution aligns with environmental targets and landscape-led design principles common in modern public space projects.
Robust Materials and Engineering for Double Deck Use
Constructed with a galvanised steel structure, the Two-Tier Blox B shelter is engineered for long-term external use in exposed conditions. The shelter’s design accommodates double-deck rack systems while ensuring structural integrity and ease of access.
Material and structural features include:
- Hot-dip galvanised steel frame for strength and corrosion resistance
- Roof construction calibrated to bear sedum roof systems under varied weather conditions
- Engineered clearances to support two tiers of cycle parking
- Durable materials selected to withstand high-frequency use in public settings
This considered material combination ensures dependable performance on busy sites where robustness and longevity are required.
Double Deck Cycle Shelter for Efficient Flow and Access
The two-level design allows cycles to be stored on both upper and lower planes, effectively increasing parking capacity without expanding the shelter footprint. This double deck cycle shelter design supports logical user flow and is compatible with commonly specified rack systems.
Functional considerations include:
- Two-tier rack compatibility for increased capacity
- Defined access routes for upper and lower levels
- Covered protection for cycles against inclement weather
- Clear sightlines for intuitive use and wayfinding
The layout supports a wide range of user journeys, from commuter peak usage to casual daytime parking.
Configuration Options and Project Adaptation
The Two-Tier Blox B Sedum Roof Shelter can be tailored to site-specific requirements, helping it integrate with broader street furniture schemes and external environments.
Available options include:
- Bespoke sizing to match site capacity requirements
- Powder-coated steel finishes to harmonise with adjacent architecture
- Integrated LED or solar-powered lighting to improve visibility
- Full installation service available across the UK & Ireland
This flexibility ensures the shelter can be specified alongside Broxap’s cycle stands, benches and other public realm infrastructure to create coherent and functional streetscapes.
A Practical and Sustainable Shelter for High-Volume Cycle Parking
With its combination of structural durability, space-efficient double-deck design and a living sedum roof, the Two-Tier Blox B Sedum Roof Shelter offers a thoughtful two tier bike shelter solution for contemporary high-demand environments. It provides secure, protected storage while contributing to sustainable design goals and overall site quality.
