Shelters

Outdoor Shelters & Covered Walkways

Fordingbridge all weather outdoor shelters with their robust construction and elegant curved roof styles are excellent for a range of shelters including bike sheds, train stations, bus stop shelters and pedestrian waiting areas across all transport services. Canopies, awnings and covered walkways can be built in a variety of shapes to suit the site including horseshoes, staggered (to cope with a sloping site), and long, flowing spans alongside or between buildings.

Our insulated buildings are fully L2 Building Regulations compliant, with glazed walling options and curved roofs with the option of composite roofs with or without fixed or opening rooflight sections, alternatively roofs can be part or fully glazed.

Our canopies, awnings and covered walkways lend themselves to mass transit use, with a choice of laminated timber framing with fabric or composite curved roofs. Fabric roofs – guaranteed for five years - allow for 60% light penetration whilst still allowing 95% UV protection. The triple wall polycarbonate composite is guaranteed for ten years. Both coverings are fire retardant.

We also offer a tension fabric design and construction service, providing a range of elegant design solutions offering permanent structures with a lightweight appearance and minimal structural support but a long life.

The steel framed structures with hot-dip galvanised or RAL/BS painted finish, plus fabric membrane offering durability of 10 to 20 years for the PVC membrane, to 25-30 years with the PTFE membrane coating.

Shapes include: cantilevered, hypar, umbrella and double conic. We are continually exploring the application’s possibilities.

Full building regulations calculations and CDM package are available with all structures.
