Product Information

At Broxap Street Furniture, we manufacture long-lasting products designed by us to stand the test of time. Our litter bin and recycling bin range is one of the most extensive available on the UK market with each product crafted to offer an extended service life. Whether it is litter bins for parks, recycling bins for schools, grit bins, cigarette bins, or internal recycling bins, we apply our high standards across the range. Broxap is a leading designer, manufacturer and installer of a vast range of cycle parking products including bike storage. Providing public realm seating brings a range of benefits to communities and timber benches are equally at home in a busy plaza or market square as they are in country parks and recreation grounds. Seating brings activity to an area, creating a safe outdoor meeting place for friends and neighbours. It inspires more people to take active travel journeys, creating rest points along the way. Today the Broxap group is made up of five brands all focused on creating liveable, useable outdoor spaces.

We’re extremely proud of our external benches and seating, offering contemporary and traditional designs to suit every location. Warm, inviting and comfortable, our external seating brings people together, offers a welcome break and transforms outdoor areas into community social spaces. Many of our cast iron benches are selected as memorial benches by loved ones looking to create a lasting tribute while our tree benches and recycled plastic benches support sustainability objectives. Incorporating timber, granite, steel and fibreglass, our collections feature materials and styles to complement all surroundings. This is extended to playground furniture, picnic benches, parklets and outdoor dining suites. From traditional playground equipment to sensory activity boards, we can design, manufacture and install a wide range of kit that children will love. Hand Made Places specialises in high quality timber play products. Creating playgrounds where children can have fun is the number one priority, alongside captivating imaginations and nurturing social and physical development. Our canopy and architectural metalwork division works across all sectors, designing shelter solutions for a wide range of uses. Working with contractors, end clients and stakeholders our canopies bring new dimensions to outdoor spaces, delivering functionality and added value to all types of locations including schools, colleges and universities; the public realm; healthcare settings; transport hubs; leisure and sports venues and commercial environments. The inclusion of cyclist facilities can also contribute to BREEAM building certification status and contributes to ENE8 credits when used in the appropriate situation, under the Code for Sustainable Homes. With active travel high on the government agenda, places to rest as well as cycle parking provision is important to the success of the public realm. Linking transport hubs with walking and cycling routes can be achieved with cycle parking infrastructure for railway stations and bus stations, as well as covered walkways to guide pedestrians safely to entrance and exit points.We understand that different sizes and shape of bike, as well as manoeuvrability, needs to be considered in the design and installation of all cycle parking facilities. Our products are designed to inspire confidence in users through safe, easy access and inclusive designs as well as contribute towards connected communities. Our dedicated cycle parking division is committed to helping clients source the active travel infrastructure that best suits user need.

Our contractors are trained in the legal and safety requirements of play installations and each project is carefully audited to ensure it remains compliant with the appropriate codes throughout all stages of the build. The benefits of opening up outdoor spaces to students are becoming increasingly important to wellbeing and performance, from early years settings right through to primary and secondary schools, colleges and higher education establishments. Timber seating can be installed freestanding in very secure areas or in locations where regular repositioning is required. Alternatively, root fixing options may be available. Bolt-down or concrete-in base plate fixings also provide a secure installation.

The cast iron benches and seats are supplied in grade 250 cast iron as standard with additional options to be cast in ductile iron, grades 450-10. The composition of ductile iron makes the benches and seats inherently stronger, therefore Broxap advise these where the seat may be exposed to vandalism or possible vehicular impact.
