Our playground canopies are a brilliant addition to any school. They provide shelter from the elements year-round, from cool shade in the height of summer to a dry zone in the wet winter. They are lightweight, freestanding, with a low maintenance design, this makes outdoor canopies a great option for schools looking to maximise their outside space.
Our PVC coated polyester tensile fabric canopies are fully waterproof and provide full UV protection meaning only one canopy is needed. This means schools do not have to invest additional funds into spare and seasonal canopies which have to be changed throughout the year, this also helps to minimise the maintenance costs. The tensile structures can be designed to cover large spans with minimal posts and foundations making them perfect for areas where children run and play.
Our tensile fabric roofs make the perfect addition to a school looking to create outside classroom space. When paired with seating or an amphitheatre, they make additional learning spaces protected by the elements.
