Playground canopies in Manchester

Our core structure across Manchester is a powder-coated steel canopy with a polycarbonate roof, engineered to the site and finished in your colours. That takes in Trafford, Tameside and Wigan and the rest of Manchester. It gives schools all-weather cover over play and social areas.

Early-years and nursery canopies in Manchester

For nurseries and EYFS settings in Manchester, we install low-eaves, free-flow canopies that link the classroom to the outdoor area so children can move safely between the two in any weather. From Wigan and Sale, we work right across Manchester.

Dining canopies in Manchester

Where a Manchester school needs more covered seating, we install dining canopies that ease pressure on the hall and add fresh-air lunch space, sized to the number of covers and the route from the servery.

Covered walkways in Manchester

For split Manchester sites, we roof the routes between buildings with covered walkways so pupils and staff stay dry moving around, with the width and drainage set to the path and the ground.

Covered MUGA and sports canopies in Manchester

School canopy questions in Manchester

Do you install school canopies across Manchester?

Yes. We design, manufacture and install school canopies and shelters across Manchester 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 Manchester?

We plan Manchester 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 Manchester?

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 Manchester planning or building-control officer needs.
