Playground canopies in Derby
Our core structure across Derby is a powder-coated steel playground canopy with a mono-pitch polycarbonate roof, engineered to the site and finished in your colours. We cover Chaddesden, Mickleover and Allestree and the wider area. It gives schools and nurseries all-weather cover over play and social areas.

For nurseries and EYFS settings in Derby, we install low-eaves, free-flow canopies that link the classroom to the outdoor area so children can move safely between the two in any weather. That takes in Allestree, Normanton and Spondon and the rest of Derby.

We build covered outdoor classrooms for Derby schools, turning a corner of the playground or field into an all-weather teaching space that supports outdoor learning across the year.

Where a Derby site needs sun and UV protection rather than an all-weather roof, we supply and tension playground shade sails over play, seating and early-years areas, sized and anchored to the space.

Playground canopy questions in Derby
Do you install playground canopies across Derby?
Yes. We design, manufacture and install playground canopies, early-years shade, outdoor classrooms and covered MUGA across Derby and the surrounding area, for schools, nurseries and councils.
Can you install during term time in Derby?
We plan Derby installations around the school day and, where a project needs it, work in the school holidays so the playground is back in use for the new term. We confirm the programme once the design is signed off.
Do I need planning permission for a playground canopy in Derby?
It depends on the size, the site and the setting. Many school and nursery canopies need planning permission and building-regulations approval, and we provide the drawings, structural calculations and specification your Derby planning or building-control officer needs.
