NBB Outdoors

Established in 1994, NBB has become the UK's Leading Manufacturer of Shelters. UK-based specialist in the design, manufacture and installation of external furniture, shelters, street furniture, cycle parking, play equipment, and associated infrastructure. From our base in the UK, we support clients across education, public sector, commercial and community settings with robust, sustainable, turnkey solutions.

We work collaboratively with architects, specifiers, contractors and site owners at every stage — from concept and specification through to site survey, manufacture, delivery and installation. Whether supplying off-the-shelf items or fully bespoke structures and furniture schemes, we aim to deliver enduring, low-maintenance solutions that reflect client branding, site constraints and long-term performance expectations.

Our integrated approach includes in-house project support for structural detailing, CAD drawings, planning advice and site safety compliance. Clients may opt for supply-only or a full turnkey package including installation, on-site certification, and aftercare support.
