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

  • For workplace or residential, our green-roofed reast/break 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.

  • 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.

Suited to both urban and green spaces.

  • 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).
