Playground CANOPY, Ponteland Nursery School
Making the most of outdoor space either for play or for outdoor learning, is becoming more and more essential for schools as they strive to give their pupils the best learning environment.
BRIEF
ARC was approached by CBS with a client who was keen to include a tensile fabric playground canopy for the nursery quad within their school. The structure was to provide shelter from the rain and sun for the children while they play and learn outdoors.
Outcome
The playground canopy was the perfect design to fit the new Nursery quad. The client opted for a simple 4m x 4m PVC coated tensile fabric canopy with powder coated steel supporting masts. The headteacher was especially delighted with the grey fabric canopy and steel structure painted to colour match. She feels that the canopy ‘complements the setting and adds a calm background to the pops of colours of the children’s toys’
Using our experienced team of fabric installers, the canopy was installed quickly over the summer break with no complications. Everyone was delighted with the finished result which was completed ahead of program and within budget.
Coming fully engineered to be left in situ all year round, and with a 10-year guarantee, this fabric canopy is it the perfect simple, but effective choice for school playgrounds. Children at the school now have shade in summer, can play safely protected from the elements and have a brand-new space for outdoor learning.
“We were very impressed with the efficient and effective service from ARC and completely delighted with our outdoor classroom made possible by our perfect tensile canopy. Thank you so much”
