The Beacon School in Amersham Add Curved Roof Play Area Canopy

Price is a big deal when you aren’t sure how something will look. So when The Beacon School got in touch looking for a canopy for the patio area outside the art rooms we were able to give them a little peek into their future. Utilising photorealistic visualisation software, we showed The Beacon School an image of exactly how their new canopy would look. Which meant by the time we installed this Motiva Wave™ Monopitch Canopy in striking red steelwork with opal roofing, they already knew what it would look like. The day they saw it for the first time must have felt just a little like déjà vu.

The result is a robust, attractive and quite striking design. Completed with a polycarbonate panel front that works with the stepped area outside the art rooms. A gorgeous addition to the space.

If you’re interested in outdoor shelters for schools but have also spent time googling ‘playground canopy prices uk’ then know this – as part of the design process, we produce outstanding, high-quality visualisations that mean you get to see the finished design before there has been any construction at all.

Wash Area Canopy and Picnic Area Shelter Added to Brushwood Junior School in Chesham

Brushwood Junior School in Chesham, Buckinghamshire needed two canopies to improve their facilities. They wanted a wash area canopy to adjoin the building so their pupils could easily keep up good hygiene in any weather, as well as a picnic area shelter so everyone could eat outdoors throughout the year. A&S Landscape was pleased to be contacted and endeavoured to make this project as beneficial as possible for all involved.

After discussions about various models, Brushwood Junior School chose the Motiva Mono™ for the covered wash area. Built to measure 5000mm X 3000mm and sporting Ultramarine Blue steelwork and an Opal roof, it was large enough to allow several children to wash their hands at once before entering the school – even in wet weather. Plus, the model was well-suited to being placed next to the building due to its asymmetric design. The staff decided on a 5000mm X 5000mm Maxima StarSail™ for the picnic area canopy, because they loved its modern look and its durability that would encourage more outdoor dining for years to come. It was installed with a Midnight Blue roof and Squirrel Grey steelwork to bring more colour to the school grounds.

Brushwood Junior School loves the new shelters. The wash area canopy helps everyone to maintain good hygiene and the picnic area canopy provides space for eating outside in all weathers. This institution – which strives to develop a passion for lifelong learning in its pupils – can now enjoy having wonderful new facilities, thanks to A&S Landscape.

Striking School Shade Sail in Milton Keynes at Monkston Primary School

Monkston Primary School had an area outside one of the classrooms which needed a replacement sail. They already had steelwork, so we were more than happy to provide them with a high-quality, waterproof shade sail to fit, measuring 7300 x 5220 x 7220 x 5120 x 6270 mm. A&S Landscape also offer a complete product; our Maxima range has a shade sail which can be configured in triangle or square designs.

Now, the children are even more keen to be outside. They can shade from the sunshine under the bright new canopy, or they can seek refuge from the wet weather and still have some outside playtime. The whole outdoor area has benefited from this new canopy. It looks smart, adds a new option for play and learning and means that the space can be used all year round.

Fabric and Polycarbonate Roof Canopies added to Chesham Grammar School in Chesham

Chesham Grammar School in the market town of Chesham, Buckinghamshire, were so pleased with a recent dining canopy that A&S Landscape had installed they wanted three more canopies to cover outdoor areas adjacent to the Maths, Modern Foreign Languages and Textiles and Gym departments.

Following on from the dining area canopy already installed by A&S Landscape, the school decided that they wanted to install three more canopies. These included a Motiva Linear™ straight roof canopy, a Motiva Duo™, and a Maxima StarSail™. The canopies were to be added to the outside areas alongside the Maths, MFL, and Textiles and Gym departments. All three structures were finished Anthracite Grey steelwork and topped with a polycarbonate opal roof (curved and linear) or a fabric canopy.

The size and positioning of the structures varied to suit the different areas, the Motiva Duo™ was made to an overall size of 25500 x 700mm, the Maxima StarSail to 6000mm x 6000mm and the Motiva Linear to 10000mm x 4000mm. Students and staff, now have their own stylish and practical covered outdoor areas adjacent to their own departments. This provides a place to socialise and sit before and after lessons with other students.

Being able to make the most of outdoor space, all-year-round, is a very important aspect of promoting student health, happiness and mental wellbeing at school. All schools will also be well aware of how extra outdoor space can be utilised to ease overcrowding indoors. This especially applies for implementing actions related to COVID-19, as published by the Department of Education.
