Project – Royal Mail add StarSail canopy to staff breakout area

Product – Maxima StarSail

Requirement – Royal Mail in Warrington, Cheshire wanted to add some shade and shelter to a break out area for staff. Employers are increasingly keen to provide outdoor areas for staff, given the research that we continue to hear which highlights the benefits of being outdoors. A happy workforce is a productive workforce and A&S Landscape have many design options which can help you create your perfect covered space.

Solution – Royal Mail wanted to add a fabric canopy and there are a number of different options within our Motiva range; Umbrellas, Tepees, StarSails and Shade Sails. On this occasion the StarSail was chosen. With only a single post, it makes the most of the available space and allows for seating to be fitted underneath to best effect. The Star Sail was installed  at 5m x 5m, with Grey (RAL 7000) steelwork and finished off with the fabric StarSail in Boulder, which matches the existing building.

Result – The canopy looks like to it has always been there, fitting perfectly in to the design of the surrounding buildings. With seating underneath, the StarSail has created a purpose for this outdoor area, creating a space where staff can come and sit to take a break and recharge.
