A Compact Two Tier Cycle Shelter for Space-Constrained Sites
The Two-Tier Blox C Sedum Roof Shelter is a two tier cycle shelter developed for locations where cycle demand is high but available space is limited. Its streamlined form and double-deck arrangement allow a significant increase in cycle capacity without extending the shelter footprint, making it particularly suitable for dense urban environments and busy campuses.
It is commonly specified for:
- Urban cycle hubs and city-centre locations
- Rail stations and transport interchanges
- University and college campuses
- Commercial developments with limited external space
- High-density residential schemes
The Blox C format prioritises efficiency and clarity of use, supporting everyday commuter and long-stay cycle parking.
Sedum Roof Cycle Shelter with Low-Impact Environmental Benefits
The shelter incorporates an integrated sedum roof system, creating a sedum roof cycle shelter that contributes positively to environmental objectives while remaining practical to maintain. The living roof layer helps soften the visual impact of large-capacity cycle infrastructure and supports wider sustainability strategies.
Environmental performance benefits include:
- Rainwater attenuation to assist sustainable drainage systems
- Reduced heat gain beneath the shelter canopy
- Biodiversity support through planted roof coverage
- Improved visual integration within built and landscaped surroundings
As a green roof bike shelter, the Blox C design is well suited to developments where environmental performance is required without introducing complex building elements.
Engineered Steel Structure for Double Deck Use
The Two-Tier Blox C shelter is constructed around a galvanised steel framework engineered specifically to support double-deck cycle parking systems. The structure is designed for consistent performance in exposed outdoor conditions and to accommodate frequent daily use.
Structural characteristics include:
- Galvanised steel frame for corrosion resistance and long service life
- Roof construction designed to support a living sedum system
- Clear internal layout to accommodate two-tier rack arrangements
- Durable materials selected for low maintenance in public realm use
This construction approach ensures reliability across transport, education and commercial settings where shelters must withstand sustained use.
Double Deck Cycle Shelter Designed for User Flow
The double-deck configuration allows cycles to be stored on two levels while maintaining clear access routes and logical circulation. This double deck cycle shelter format supports efficient movement during peak periods, such as commuter arrivals and departures.
Design considerations include:
- Optimised spacing for two-tier rack systems
- Defined access zones to support safe loading and unloading
- Covered shelter plane to protect cycles from weather exposure
- Layouts that support high turnover without congestion
This makes the Blox C shelter particularly effective in locations with predictable peak usage patterns.
Specification Options and Integration
The Two-Tier Blox C Sedum Roof Shelter can be adapted to suit specific site and capacity requirements, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of schemes.
Available options include:
- Bespoke shelter lengths to match required cycle numbers
- Integration with selected two-tier rack systems
- Powder-coated steel finishes to align with site palettes
- Integrated LED or solar lighting for improved visibility
- Full installation service across the UK and Ireland
The shelter is frequently specified alongside Broxap’s wider cycle parking infrastructure and street furniture to create coordinated, functional external environments.
A Practical High-Density Cycle Shelter Solution
Combining efficient use of space, durable construction and a living roof system, the Two-Tier Blox C Sedum Roof Shelter provides a robust two tier bike shelter solution for projects where capacity, longevity and environmental consideration must work together. Its focused design makes it well suited to modern transport-led and urban developments.
