Shelter & Shade

Outdoor Canopies & Shelters designed to suit your space

Adding a covered area to a school’s outdoor space is a cost effective way to quickly optimise the efficiency of that space. It’s now possible to learn and play outside in all weathers, while creating a focal point for the playground. Opt for natural, tactile timber or sturdy, low maintenance aluminium to enhance the school. A comfortable outdoor space also encourages more outdoor learning, which is proven to positively impact a child’s social, emotional and physical wellbeing.
