Shelters for street furniture
Urban shelters represent more than just functional shelters: they are urban furniture elements that combine protection, identity and citizen service. In complex contexts such as bus stops, stations, interchange areas or bike hubs, Lazzari's signature shelters offer comfort, durability and integration with space, adapting to any urban scenario thanks to a modular design.
Made of galvanized steel, honeycomb polycarbonate, and tempered glass, the structures are designed to provide weather resistance, low maintenance, and aesthetic continuity with their surroundings.
In line with the evolution of cities toward more functional and accessible models, some shelters can be accessorized with side advertising panels, thus also providing support for visual communication and signage.
Why choose quality urban shelters
A well-designed shelter is more than just a roofing element-it is an integral part of street furniture that can enhance the user experience, especially in high-traffic settings such as public transportation stops, bike stations, or pedestrian areas.
Choosing quality canopies means ensuring:
Real protection from rain, wind, direct sunlight and adverse weather conditions
Increased safety and comfort for waiting users
Context enhancement through aesthetic solutions consistent with the architectural environment.

Designed to protect public transportation passengers from sun and weather, this bus stop shelter has a vertical support structure of galvanized sheet metal and rear infill with steel profile frame and transparent honeycomb polycarbonate.
Regulation: what the regulations say about bus stop shelters
The shelters proposed by Lazzari Arredo Urbano are designed taking into account the requirements of the main Italian regulations on architectural barriers and safety in public places.
In particular, they follow the directions contained in:
Ministerial Decree 236/1989, which defines criteria for the elimination of architectural barriers in public buildings and spaces
Presidential Decree 503/1996, on accessibility and usability for people with disabilities
Local guidelines such as PEBAs (Plans for the Elimination of Architectural Barriers) adopted by municipalities and regions.
Lazzari canopies are designed to comply:
The minimum dimensions for passage and maneuvering (e.g., clearance for wheelchairs)
The appropriate height of the cover so as not to obstruct the view or passageway
Edge safety and structural stability even under exceptional shocks or loads.
Quality of materials and modularity
All models are made of hot-dip galvanized steel frames treated to resist corrosion and covers made of honeycomb polycarbonate or tempered glass-lightweight yet extremely durable materials.
Modularity is one of the strengths: shelters can be easily extended or adapted according to the needs of the urban space or the number of users served.
Some models include built-in benches, screen walls, or side advertising panels, thus offering multifunctionality and a communication opportunity for agencies and municipalities.
Design customization
Lazzari offers customizable finishes (RALs on request), a choice of multiple infill materials (glass or polycarbonate) and different layouts (cantilevered, on center or rear uprights). This makes each design unique and easily integrated into:
Historic centers subject to landscape constraints
New urban areas with a contemporary vocation
Sensitive contexts such as hospitals, schools, stations.
Types of canopies: materials, structure and options
