The school-canopy range

Every canopy is engineered, sized, framed and finished for the site. Choose by construction or by how the space will be used.

By construction & roof

Steel canopiesThe workhorse: a powder-coated steel frame with a mono-pitch polycarbonate roof, free-standing or wall-mounted.Curved-roof canopiesAn arched, self-draining roofline that lifts a frontage and spans wider, open areas.Free-standing & lean-to canopiesFree-standing canopies on their own columns, or lean-to canopies fixed to the building for column-free cover.Timber canopiesA natural glulam-timber frame favoured for early-years, forest-school and park settings.Tensile fabric canopiesEngineered PVC or PTFE membranes for large, sculptural clear spans over big open areas.Polycarbonate canopiesThe roof-glazing spec: impact-resistant polycarbonate that filters roughly 99% of UV, clear or opal.Shade sailsTensioned fabric sails for sun and UV protection over play, seating and early-years areas.

By use

One specialist, from drawing to installed canopy

We design, manufacture and install every canopy ourselves, so a school, nursery or college deals with one team from the first survey to the finished, signed-off structure. Everything is engineered to the structural Eurocodes and delivered under CDM 2015.

01

Design & survey

We survey the site and our team returns a scaled design, a specification and structural calculations for sign-off.

02

UK manufacture

Your canopy is fabricated in the UK from powder-coated steel or glulam timber, with an impact-resistant polycarbonate or membrane roof.

03

Installation

Our own installation team fits it on site, planned around the school day and, where needed, the holidays.

Areas we cover

We install school canopies and shelters for schools, nurseries and colleges across England, Scotland and Wales, from major cities to their catchment towns.
