Playground canopies in Reading
The Playground Canopy Company designs, manufactures and installs playground canopies for schools, nurseries and councils across Reading, from Katesgrove, Southcote and Caversham out to neighbouring Woodley, London & the South East. 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 Reading
Our core structure across Reading 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 Katesgrove, Southcote and Caversham and the rest of Reading. It gives schools and nurseries all-weather cover over play and social areas.

For nurseries and EYFS settings in Reading, 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 Caversham and Tilehurst, we work right across Reading.

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

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