One specialist, from drawing to installed canopy

We design, manufacture and install every canopy ourselves, so a school, nursery or council deals with one team from the first survey to the finished, signed-off structure. Everything is engineered to the structural Eurocodes and delivered under CDM 2015.

Design & survey

We survey the site and our team returns a scaled design, a specification and structural calculations for sign-off.

UK manufacture

Your canopy is fabricated in the UK from powder-coated steel or glulam timber, with an impact-resistant polycarbonate or membrane roof.

Installation

Our own installation team fits it on site, planned around the school day and, where needed, the holidays.

Areas we cover

We install playground canopies for schools, nurseries and councils across England, Scotland and Wales, from major cities to their catchment towns.
