Our Canopy Prices
Affordable canopies for projects of all sizes
At A&S Landscape, we pride ourselves on offering great value outdoor canopies and competitive prices for schools, hospitals, and other customers that are operating on a tight budget.
And, when it comes to the price of one of our canopies, the likely investment required is naturally one of the questions that comes up early. No one wants to enquire just to find out that the product will be beyond their available budget!
Here at A&S Landscape, we’re sympathetic. Often, the early stages of canopy pricing involve looking at designs and considering options with an expectation of speaking to budget holders about how much money may be needed – but we know that very often, the solution and the budget develop together.
Traditionally, we’d prefer not to talk about money until we understand every detail of what you want, including the intricacies of your project, the access, the timeline, the colours, and so on. You might not think that it’s worth going into too much detail at this stage, but there are several factors that will affect the pricing of your project, including:
- The size of the structure
- Your design preferences
- The type of materials preferred
- Your location
- The ease of access to your site for our installation team
- The need for surfacing or other associated works
- The need for any extra materials
The complexity of your canopy installation
Key Factors That Influence the Price of Your Canopy Structure
Size
The size of your structure will always be the main factor driving your canopy price. Many conversations around budget are schools trying to determine ‘how much coverage can I get for my money?’ Bear in mind that well-thought-out locations, shapes, and other factors can result in a better canopy outcome. At A&S, we can help with seating layout plans and other pupil flow drawings to show optimal sizing, ideal if you’re after an outdoor dining area canopy.
Materials
The choice of material will also impact your canopy cost. Whether you’re after steel, aluminium, timber, glass, polycarbonate, waterproof, or shade cloth fabrics, we’ve got all of this (and more!) for you to choose from. We also have an incredible colour range, and our palette includes colours specific to different ranges and different types of fabric.
Design Complexity
The complexity of the canopy design also affects canopy prices. For example, curved roof canopies will typically cost more than straight roof canopies. Complex shapes can also increase costs, as will a hip roof on a canopy or a canopy with a valley gutter. Independent (freestanding) canopies will normally cost more than wall-fixed options, wherever that is an option. If steps or slopes are required to accommodate different ground or building levels, this will also impact prices.
Site Access and Conditions
Many schools have courtyard locations or other areas that are far from vehicle access, so the extra time it takes to carry materials must be accounted for. We don’t use large lorries and many of our designs are modular (in parts that can be carried), so we are well placed for helping every situation, and this is something that we can advise on.
Finish and Features
The finishes you choose for your canopy, such as galvanised or polyester powdered coating, will also affect its price, as well as some specific paint colours.
Installation Requirements
Much like the complexity of the design and the access considerations above, any other complexities that impact installation time or require special materials will also impact the costs. This also involves the cost of dismantling existing structures or making modifications to the building before we can start our work.
Additional Features
And finally, any additional features such as side panels, doors, fencing, integrated lighting or heating, seats, water butts, post pads, drainage connections, signage, and other added extras can up the costs for your project.
How to Get the Best Price For You
Because every project and pricing module is different, we can’t list exact prices on our website. And, some quoting guide prices can also be misleading. Instead, we offer three things at this stage…
1. A chat with one of our canopy consultants
If you’ve seen a project on our website and think ‘that’s exactly what I’m looking for!’ then please get in touch with one of our friendly canopy consultants. You can do so by ringing us on 01743 444 100 or emailing us at [email protected] along with your contact details. We’ll be able to discuss average prices at this point, but we won’t be able to give you a full quote until you’ve given us the specific details of your project.
2. Use our enquiry form to request a free proposal
For your free proposal, use our handy form to give us an idea of what your project involves. Speed up your enquiry and help us give you a more accurate quotation by providing a photograph of the planned project site. Once we receive the form, we’ll send you an acknowledgement and then get back to you as soon as possible with your proposal.
3. The next steps…
Once we know the scope of the work required, we’ll send you an itemised, totally transparent estimate, so you know upfront what your investment will be. We offer a wide range of different canopy frames and styles, so we can give you quotes for as many options as you wish.
We’ll provide you with a complete, all-inclusive canopy supply and installation estimate. Don’t worry, we don’t charge hidden costs for site visits, delivery, or anything else! To get started, call us, email us, or fill in our enquiry form. We look forward to hearing from you!
Step One
Take a photo of the area – these don’t need to be professional!
Step Two
Send your picture and any measurements you have with any other information you can think of to [email protected], or upload to the form on this page. From this we can work out your price or we’ll give you a phone with any questions we still have.
Step Three
We will send you a budget price and can even discuss providing a visualisation of the canopy.
Take a Look at Some of Our Recent Projects, and How We Calculated the Costs!
A single shade sail for a school playground with good access
The cost for this project would primarily be influenced by the size of the sail, the chosen fabric, and whether post pads are required.
For example, our New Shade Sail installed at Gordonstoun School.
gordonstoun school shade sail
The school wanted a shade sail to act as a multi-purpose space where students could learn, relax with friends, and play games outdoors in all seasons. Our single shade design was the perfect solution, and our particular model measured at 6000mm x 6000mm on a total of four uprights to create enough room for students to congregate beneath and not worry about the weather.
A covered walkway connecting two buildings
The cost for a project like this would be dictated by the distance, materials, finish, and whether any sides are required. Other complexities will also be considered, such as if the buildings are at the same level – if they aren’t, then a slope may be required.
For example, our First Floor Walkway Canopy installed at Highfurlong School!

The school was looking to add a covered walkway to connect their raised playground to the first floor of their school. They envisioned a brightly coloured design, so we used our vibrantly coloured polycarbonate roofing to infuse the area with a burst of joy, creating a welcoming and safe space for pupils.
A bespoke glazed dining canopy
This sort of project might require a highly tailored design to integrate with the existing building architecture and could potentially incorporate the school’s branding. The size, complexity of the design, the type of thickness used for the glazing, and any other bespoke features or extras would be key cost drivers.
For example, our Dining Extension for Wednesfield High Academy.
The secondary school wanted an enclosed dining canopy to offer more space for eating and socialising during lunchtime. They were looking for a sleek, bespoke, enclosed design that would change how they thought about their outdoor space. We therefore built a fully enclosed and glazed dining shelter that was tailored to their exact requirements. The welcoming additions of heating, lighting, and side panel doors mean that the shelter can be comfortably enjoyed, even in bad weather!
