School canopies in Derby
School canopies for Derby schools, nurseries and park play areas are our core work. We install across Chaddesden, Mickleover and Allestree, and out to Spondon, Littleover and nearby Belper. Every canopy is engineered to the site, powder-coated in the UK and fitted around the school day, giving lasting cover for primary playgrounds, EYFS settings and covered outdoor classrooms.

Playground canopies in Derby

School canopy questions in Derby
Do you install school canopies across Derby?
Yes. We design, manufacture and install school canopies and shelters across Derby and the surrounding area, for schools, nurseries and colleges: covered playgrounds, early-years shade, outdoor classrooms, dining canopies, covered walkways, covered MUGA and cycle shelters.
Can you install during term time in Derby?
We plan Derby installations around the school day and, where a project needs it, work in the school holidays so the site is back in use for the new term. We confirm the programme once the design is signed off.
Do I need planning permission for a school canopy in Derby?
It depends on the size, the site and the setting. Many school canopies need planning permission and building-regulations approval, and we provide the drawings, structural calculations and specification your Derby planning or building-control officer needs.
