Burleyfields Primary and Nursery School Installs Several Outdoor Shelters and Bike Shelters

As a new school, Burleyfields wanted to create outdoor areas that were both practical and welcoming. They needed spaces that would protect pupils and staff from the weather, encourage outdoor learning, and provide covered areas for play and daily activities. The school also needed a secure and tidy area for cycle storage to support its sustainability goals.

Burleyfields Primary and Nursery School turned to A&S Landscape to deliver a full canopy and shelter solution that matched their new facilities and high design standards.

Challenges

• The school required several covered outdoor spaces for different purposes, including play, learning, and entry points.
• They needed weather protection that would allow pupils to use outdoor areas throughout the year.
• The design had to blend with the new school’s modern architecture and meet safety standards for young children.
• They also needed cycle shelters to promote active travel and keep bikes secure and organised.

Our Solution

After a full site review and consultation, A&S Landscape supplied and installed a series of canopies and bike shelters designed to meet the school’s needs.

We installed three Motiva Linear™ monopitch straight roof canopies to create covered outdoor spaces around the school. These canopies provided flexible areas for pupils to gather, play, and learn outside, even during poor weather.

• Canopy 1: 10,000mm x 3,000mm
• Canopy 2: 11,000mm x 3,000mm
• Canopy 3: 11,500mm x 3,000mm

To complete the entrance area, we added a Motiva Entrada™ entrance canopy measuring 3,250mm x 2,500mm. This stylish structure gives visitors a great first impression while protecting them from rain and sun when arriving or leaving.

For the school’s active travel plans, we installed six Cyclo Nexis™ bike shelters with integrated racks, providing secure storage for staff and pupils. The shelters are durable, easy to maintain, and designed to withstand daily use.

Each canopy and shelter was colour-matched to complement the new building’s design, creating a consistent and attractive look across the site.

Key Features and Materials

• Motiva Linear™ Canopies: Straight roof design with a solid steel framework. Finished in our tough Dura-coat™ colour finish for long-lasting protection. Fitted with Poly-tuff™ polycarbonate roofing for maximum light transmission and durability.

• Motiva Entrada™ Entrance Canopy: Modern straight roof design, free-standing steel structure with a Dura-coat™ finish. Clear polycarbonate roof for weather protection while keeping the area bright and welcoming.

• Cyclo Nexis™ Bike Shelters: Robust steel frame with Dura-coat™ finish. Designed with integrated racks to securely hold multiple bikes.

Results

• The canopies created bright, dry outdoor spaces that pupils can use year-round for lessons, play, and group activities.
• The entrance canopy enhanced the school’s front area, giving a warm and professional appearance to staff, pupils, and visitors.
• The new bike shelters encourage healthy travel and keep bicycles neatly stored and secure during the school day.
• The materials used ensure long-term durability with minimal maintenance, supporting the school’s focus on sustainability.

Conclusion

The new canopies and shelters at Burleyfields Primary and Nursery School have transformed the site. Pupils now have protected outdoor areas where they can play and learn in all seasons. The entrance canopy creates a welcoming first impression, while the bike shelters support the school’s commitment to sustainability and healthy living.

A&S Landscape was proud to help Burleyfields achieve their vision for a modern, practical, and inspiring school environment. The completed project supports both staff and pupils, adding lasting value to this exciting new educational setting.
