BUT, those of us who know and specialise in School Canopies, know that is only a small part of the story and that is what will set a Schools-specialist apart from the rest.
No two School Canopies are the same, as every school is different. And every use is slightly different. And every site is different. This makes supplying and installing School Canopies different from anything else we do.
We tend to reduce the range slightly as some structures really are not suitable for schools, or indeed they may offer a level of technicality that is not required. But this is not to say that School Canopies aren’t technical, because they are – just in different ways.
School Canopies are easily divided into two different ranges – Free standing and Lean-to. We will deal with each of these separately as there are only a couple of canopies which are in each sector.
Our free-standing canopies offer a straight-forward solution as they take no structural strength from an adjacent building (if indeed one is close). This means that the canopy can be installed anywhere around school – even adjacent to a temporary classroom or in the playground. This makes life simple, as we will install suitable footings which are bespoke to your structure and then can make-good on completion.
For obvious reasons each canopy will have a minimum of four legs, and there may be many more, depending on the size and design. All of our free-standing structures are made of powder-coated aluminium with the exception of the timber structures which you will find lower down on this page.
There is a choice of three basic designs. Each design is completely different and will therefore have a different roof material.
Lean-to canopies can offer maximum coverage for the lowest outlay. However they still offer the same high quality and strength as the Free-standing canopies. For applications where there is a suitable building (in terms of strength and height) these canopies are a superb option. The canopies will have legs along the front edge as we will not supply cantilever structures. We will install footings for each of the legs which are bespoke to your structure and these will be made good on completion.
Each of the Lean-to canopies will have a fixed frame fixed to the building at the rear with either polycarbonate or retractable roofs. These canopies are the simplest to install but look great.
There are two basic designs. The two retractable canopies have different frame materials.
Added to this we can provide padding protection to the legs of any canopy, building column, fence posts or even a netball post! Please get in touch with your requirements.
Doorway and walkway canopies are available with a choice of designs and roof styles. Generally free standing, they can also attach to the building to reduce the number of legs. They are stylish and functional structures which will keep both kids, teachers and visitors dry. Doorway canopies can also be fitted with a header board.

Using high quality timber with tensile membrane PVC roofs these are a great addition to any area. The Redwood Garden Gazebos are very easy to install and can even be delivered “flat-packed” for DIY installation by your own staff.
