Wall Mounted Canopies

- Attractive Strong Structures For Schools

I was most impressed on a recent site visit where one of our newest canopies has been installed. The canopy was installed about an hour away from work and so it was quite exciting to be able to get out to see a completed job.

When we arrived at the school, there was definitely an air of excitement about the new canopy. The parents16B2 who had come to pick the children up, the teachers and the children all stood to look at what had been assembled in their play ground.

One mum said to me 'this new canopy is going to be a great asset to this little school. My little girl is really looking forward to being able to play out doors even when its raining, when they would normally have to come inside'.

The canopy area was definitely an attractive addition to the school, with a white frame, clear polycarbonate roofing and a set of high visibility yellow postpads to set it off.

The canopy was twelve meters wide and fixed along a brick wall. For this canopy the purpose was to provide a secure, covered outdoor play area. Toys and the sand pit could then be left outside, and be covered from the rain.

The head teacher of the school found the process of getting the funding quite difficult. 'It was a long and stretched out process which took longer than we'd hoped. Once we got the funding through we were delighted, and now we are even more delighted that we have finally had our canopy installed'.

This particular school came to us because they were offered a free survey and because of the effective solutions that were offered to them. They were also able to have a look at a school down the road from them where Able Canopies had installed a canopy recently also.
