A Variety Of Benefits For Your Children

Our Timber Canopies naturally promote increased movement during the school day, allowing children to lead a more active and healthy lifestyle, and improving their physical development as they learn.

Playing and learning outdoors stimulates the senses and boosts cognitive development, so children who regularly get to experience hands-on outdoor learning environments tend to be more attentive, more prepared for and more switched on to learning. 

Durable and Long Lasting School Canopies

Built from sustainably-sourced, structurally-graded tanalised timber and with integrated rainwater systems as standard, our school Canopies are designed to meet Building Regulations approval, giving you peace of mind for daily use.

All of our school canopies are weather resistant too. We offer watertight constructions to ensure your lessons are not disrupted by rain, allowing your class to stay outdoors for longer. The roofs also provide shade during the blistering summer days, adding a layer of UV protection for your class.

Bespoke Solutions For Your School Canopy

We know how important it is for schools to find the perfect canopy for their outdoor space. Even though we have a wide range of fantastic outdoor classrooms, you may have something more particular in mind. Due to this, we offer a fantastic bespoke service; helping schools across the UK create custom outdoor classrooms to suit their needs.

Maybe you would like to create a covered walkway  that provides a sheltered space for your pupils to stay safe from harmful UV rays or heavy rain?
