The incredible benefits of an outdoor dining shelter
Our outdoor canopies don’t just look great, but they also provide excellent practical value by keeping pupils, staff, and visitors safe and protected from the elements. During even the coldest months, our canopies provide essential shelter from the rain, snow, wind, hail, and in hotter months, great protection from harmful UV rays. As well as great weather protection, you’ll find:
✅ Increased seating capacity for crowded schools
✅ Enhanced aesthetics and functionality
✅ Better mental health, especially among students in schools
Outdoor dining canopies for schools
We’re used to manufacturing plenty of school canopies, helping primary schools, secondary schools, and colleges to make the most of their outdoor space. However, like many schools, limited canteen seating can be a real problem.
An investment in a dining canopy can be one of the best things for your school. It expands usable space, giving you extra room for sitting and eating, and is particularly beneficial for crowded schools.
Outdoor dining canopies for hospitality
As well as schools, an outdoor dining area can be a great opportunity for establishments to expand their seating capacity, creating unique dining experiences. We cater to restaurants, pubs, and cafes, each one of our designs being fully customisable to blend in with your business’s colour schemes.
The way in which A&S work is really superb. I am very pleased with the quality of the design and the construction.
I would absolutely recommend working with A&S for any headteacher thinking of trying to find a solution to a dining problem.
We used A&S Landscape because they were very competitive on price and so good at communication.

Hampton Gardens School adds enclosed dining canopy
Hampton Gardens School, in Peterborough, decided it was time to install a large canopy, which the students can use throughout the year. The school’s administration wanted a canopy that could withstand rain and cold, was easy to access, and would perfectly match the school’s modern design.
Our solution: A 2000mm x 15000mm Motiva Vista™ structure. We gave the canopy glass sides, double doors, and a sturdy steel frame. The school chose slate grey for the frame, and we added orange doors for a pop of colour!
Kingsmead School add fully enclosed dining canopy
Kingsmead School in Hednesford, Staffordshire, wanted to find an exciting outdoor dining shelter that could reduce pressure on its existing facilities. On the search for something impressive and out of the ordinary, they contacted us for a sleek design that could have multiple doors for easy access and heating and lighting solutions to be used throughout the year.
Our solution: A Maxima Retractable Canopy. This was the perfect match for the school as it comes with heavy-duty fabric roofing that is fully retractable, allowing premium flexibility in all weather conditions.

We understand that investing in any style of canopy is a big choice. These FAQs should help you feel confident about your decision, but if you would need information, head over to our FAQ page
Because each design is unique, the price of your covered outdoor dining area will depend on several factors. The best way to find out if your budget is suitable is to contact a member of our team on 01743 444 100.
Each and every one of our canopies is built to last. We use a range of weather-resistant materials and durable metals that have been specifically developed to withstand the Great British weather, from strong winds to heavy snow. Our solutions shouldn’t require much upkeep, but we do have advice on how to clean your canopy in every season.
Choosing the right canopy for your space can take a lot of thought and consideration. If you’re looking for an outdoor dining canopy, then you’ll probably want to encourage dining outdoors or create a unique eating experience. Consider things such as space, purpose, and price, and this will help to craft a brief that you can show our experts to find the perfect solution.
That will depend on the design, size, complexity, and additional features of your canopy. Most of our projects are completed within one or two weeks, but some bigger projects may take longer. With schools, we aim to complete projects during school holidays so that pupils are left undisturbed. Get in touch if you’ve got your eye on a specific design, and we’ll tell you the time estimation.
At A&S Landscape, we have our own selection of canopies that are perfect for outdoor dining, featured in our innovative Motiva™ and Maxima™ ranges. We utilise polycarbonate roofing or fabric-based canopies, as well as bespoke designs for a totally unique customisation that will suit your needs.
