School canopies in Houghton le Spring

Canopies and shelters for schools, nurseries and council play areas are what we do across Houghton le Spring, from Newbottle and Herrington to Fence Houses, and out to neighbouring Hetton-le-Hole and Washington. Each canopy is engineered to the site and made in the UK from powder-coated steel, whether you need all-weather playground cover, a covered EYFS shade area or an outdoor classroom.

Part of our Newcastle coverage.

That takes in Herrington, Fence Houses and Newbottle and the rest of Houghton le Spring. It gives schools all-weather cover over play and social areas.
