Playground canopies in Manchester
Our core structure across Manchester 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 Trafford, Tameside and Wigan and the rest of Manchester. It gives schools and nurseries all-weather cover over play and social areas.

For nurseries and EYFS settings in Manchester, 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 Wigan and Sale, we work right across Manchester.

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