Stepping Up the Coniston with a Bigger Span

For 20 years, the Coniston Wall Mounted Canopy has been our best-selling structure and for good reason. Its robust aluminium frame, UV-protective polycarbonate roof panels, and sleek, versatile design make it a favourite in schools and commercial settings alike. But what happens when your space needs something even bigger?

Enter the Stepped Coniston Canopy, our innovative solution designed for larger coverage without compromising on the trusted quality of the original Coniston.
