UrbanBeam™ Shelter

Part of the BDI Modern Collection — the premium architectural timber shelter in our lineup. The UrbanBeam™ Shelter combines the warmth of heavy rough-sawn timber with contemporary architectural design to create a striking outdoor gathering space. Structural steel accent brackets pair the natural character of wood with clean architectural forms suited to today's parks, schools, campuses, and civic developments. Its dramatic 6:12 pitched roof and signature dual splayed support posts give it a bold visual presence that sets it apart from traditional park shelters. Designed as both a functional shade structure and an architectural feature, the UrbanBeam™ provides dependable protection from sun and rain — as an outdoor classroom, community gathering space, picnic shelter, or park pavilion. Engineered for Canada's demanding climate and built from premium commercial-grade materials, the UrbanBeam™ Shelter is available in Douglas Fir or Cedar with custom sizes, finishes, and configuration options. Ideal for: municipal parks, schools & outdoor classrooms, campuses, community gathering spaces, campgrounds, trailheads, recreation facilities, and civic & commercial developments.
