Utilise previously unused school ground space, by creating an all-weather canopy that unlocks the space potential with minimal investment.

Why Choose a School Canopy?

Investing in a school canopy can really benefit your pupils and staff in many ways including:

  • Achieve a free-flow play environment, allowing access to the outside at all times
  • Create a covered outside space for messy lessons, outdoor eating and storage
  • Provide versatile shade and shelter in the playground – all our canopies offer high UV protection
  • Create covered slip-free walkways between buildings
  • Stop sunlight glare through windows that causes classrooms to become stuffy and uncomfortable
  • Allow children to let off steam outside, whatever the weather
  • Provide access to fresh air for staff and pupils
  • Provide students with an all-weather stimulating outdoor learning environment
  • Create an outdoor dining or seating area that can be used in any weather

Planning Applications

A canopy, shade sail, or shelter cannot be built without first obtaining approval from the local planning department. In the event that this is required, we will work with you closely to ensure that your planning application is approved.

UV Protection Built-in

All of our school canopies are constructed with high UV protection roofing materials to assist you in ensuring that outdoor play is as “sun safe” as possible, which is especially important during the summer months.
