Playground canopies in Edinburgh
The Playground Canopy Company designs, manufactures and installs playground canopies for schools, nurseries and councils across Edinburgh, from Gorgie, Newington and Leith out to neighbouring Livingston, Scotland. Every canopy is engineered to the site, made in the UK and fitted around the school day, from all-weather playground cover to early-years shade and covered outdoor classrooms.

Playground canopies in Edinburgh
Our core structure across Edinburgh is a powder-coated steel playground canopy with a mono-pitch polycarbonate roof, engineered to the site and finished in your colours. That takes in Gorgie, Newington and Leith and the rest of Edinburgh. It gives schools and nurseries all-weather cover over play and social areas.

For nurseries and EYFS settings in Edinburgh, 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. From Leith and Portobello, we work right across Edinburgh.

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

Where a Edinburgh 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.

For settings in Edinburgh that want a natural look, particularly early-years, forest-school and park sites, we design timber-framed playground canopies in glulam that sit comfortably in a green setting.

For larger Edinburgh sites, we roof multi-use games areas and sports courts so PE, clubs and play carry on whatever the weather, with spans that clear the court and open sides for airflow and sightlines.

Playground canopy questions in Edinburgh
Do you install playground canopies across Edinburgh?
Yes. We design, manufacture and install playground canopies, early-years shade, outdoor classrooms and covered MUGA across Edinburgh and the surrounding area, for schools, nurseries and councils.
Can you install during term time in Edinburgh?
We plan Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh?
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 Edinburgh planning or building-control officer needs.
