Transform your school campus into a vibrant and dynamic learning environment with our durable and protective canopy solutions. Our canopies provide shelter from the elements and create inviting gathering spaces for students and faculty alike. With customisable designs to complement your office or school's architecture, our canopies enhance the aesthetic appeal of your campus while offering practical benefits.
Canopies are excellent for weather protection - from sun exposure to heavy rain. They are the ideal solution for creating outdoor classrooms, promoting outdoor learning opportunities, and encouraging students to engage with their surroundings at any time of year. Canopies are a way to maximise your existing space and incorporate the outdoors into a functional area that can be part of your building. They are great at extending dining hall spaces and providing students and staff with a place to have lunch, even if existing seating indoors is limited.
Installing a custom-made canopy can improve your school's infrastructure and enrich the educational experience with our sheltering solutions.
One of the primary reasons to consider installing a walkway is to improve your school's infrastructure and enhance campus accessibility. Our custom-designed walkways are path coverings that seamlessly connect various areas of your campus. Sturdy and well-designed walkways can facilitate smooth traffic flow, ensuring students and staff can move between buildings efficiently and safely. With durable materials and expert craftsmanship, our walkways withstand the rigours of daily use, providing long-lasting reliability for years to come.
Covered walkways are a great solution that shields everyone on your premises from the elements, making moving between buildings or from your main entrance to your front door easier and more pleasant. Our customisable designs cater to your building and outdoor space's unique needs and aesthetic preferences. Transform your campus into a welcoming, inclusive environment that fosters connectivity and encourages exploration with our beautifully designed, functional walkway solutions.
The school asked us to manufacture and install one canopy so that an outdoor learning and play area could be created. Furthermore, they wanted us to design, manufacture, and install a walkway to keep the children protected from the elements when moving classes between the different buildings of the school.
We designed, made and installed a 9.5m in length x 5m in width canopy located next to one of St Anthony's School's buildings. The canopy was made of strong 70mm box tubing steel and weather and damage-resistant 5mm clear polycarbonate roof panels. The school wanted the look of the canopy to match their environment, so they chose to have the steel powder coated in RAL colour 7015.
We manufactured a custom-made walkway, measured and designed to fit their exact requirements and space. The walkway was 17 meters long and made from hard-wearing 50mm box tubing steel. It was covered with thick 10mm twin-wall polycarbonate roof panels. To match the surrounding buildings and the newly installed canopy, we ensured the walkway was powder-coated in the same RAL colour 7015 as the canopy. To complete the look and functionality of the walkway, we installed black guttering and drain pipes.
"We were very happy with our installation from start to finish. The team were professional and competent throughout and the finished product is exactly what we had discussed." - Mr Price - Headteacher, St. Anthony's School
As Barnwell School was undergoing a complete revamp, we were approached to provide a walkway connecting one classroom block to another. A large walkway was required to ensure the area was completely sheltered and students could walk comfortably between buildings, whatever the weather.
We manufactured a custom-made walkway, measured and designed to fit their exact requirements and space. The walkway was 123m long, 2100mm wide, and 2200mm high. Out of the 123m, the walkway was designed to be open on one side and enclosed on the other for 75m. The other 48m were open on both sides and designed with a 50mm high support beam all along the 48m enclosed side. The walkway frame was made of a 50mm x 50mm strong steel frame, and the glazing was made of 40mm multiwall clear polycarbonate as per the specification sheet. The roof was manufactured from thick and sturdy 16mm multiwall plastic, and vertical support posts were installed every 3 meters. To match the school's environment and colours, the steel used in the walkway's construction was galvanised and powder-coated in RAL colour 7015, as our client had specified.
"The walkway has been a God send in poor weather and is of very high quality." - Headteacher
