  • Robust bicycle parking with rich biodiverse growing roofs and wildlife habitat panels. A genuine green-roofed solution to bike parking.

  • For workplace or residential bike storage, our green-roofed cycle shelters add much more benefit and interest than flimsy, plastic-roofed shelters.

  • Shelters are delivered planted and complete, and are simply craned off the delivery lorry into position, and are ready for use.

  • Residential or workplace. – Whether the need to get bicycles out of stairwells and common spaces in flats, or provide convenient secure covered storage for bicycles at work, our robust structures add wildlife potential and colour from low maintenance roof planting and integrated wildlife habitat.

  • Planting. – We plant a drought-tolerant mix of 64+ plant species on each roof, that are nectar-rich for butterflies, bees, moths and other invertebrate wildlife. Planting and habitat can be tailored to locality, or specific Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) species.

  • The shelters have to be structurally very strong to carry the 1.5 - 3.5 tons of soil on the roof - so they are not typical flimsy shelters.

  • Green Roof Shelters provide a planted space for wildlife that can be seen but is not frequently disturbed, with nesting opportunities on the shelter exterior. The absorbent green roofs have the added benefit of moderating urban flooding. 

  • Cycle locking bars are securely attached to the shelter - so no extra ground work, and no subsequent litter trapping. Green Roof Shelters only produce good quality secure cycle parking stands that allow the locking of both wheels and frame - as required by all cycle-parking test standards.

Two tier or double height cycle parking racks fitted to a green roof shelter. The racks double the number of spaces for bicycles.
Two shelters side by side offer cycle parking using two tier or double height cycle racks. The structure is part of a green roof shelter with a growing roof and wildlife habitat on its facade. One end is UK Larch clad, the other uses twin-mesh.

Two-tier, 15 cycle, green roof shelters.

  • The shelter units are modular - multiples are used to make much larger installations, including compounds. 

  • Wildlife Habitat Panels provide nesting and refuge for different species, adding space for wildlife, and alongside interpretation create biodiversity awareness.

  • Bird boxes are for blue tits & great tits, and social nesting boxes for sparrows.

  • When needed, shelters are straightforward to relocate as future circumstances dictate (with a HIAB equipped lorry).
