Greenvale School, Shade Sails Case Study

This summer, we worked with Equans and Greenvale School in Lewisham, London, to transform their sensory garden with a bespoke Able Shade Sail Array. Having previously installed canopies at the school, we were delighted to be invited back to design and install a new solution that would provide both shade and visual appeal for students to enjoy year-round.

With vibrant Aquamarine sails supported by a durable post system, the new installation has created a cool, welcoming outdoor space that perfectly complements the school’s environment. The result is a practical yet striking feature that enhances accessibility and comfort while adding a splash of colour to the grounds.
