Coniston Apex Freestanding Canopy
The Coniston Apex is a large freestanding canopy designed to provide robust, long-lasting shelter for expansive outdoor spaces. Perfect for covering extra-large areas such as outdoor dining zones, seating areas, and outdoor classrooms, it delivers reliable protection and enhances usability all year round.
For added versatility, the Coniston Apex can be fitted with polycarbonate side panels to create a fully or partially enclosed space. This feature offers additional protection from the elements, including wind and driving rain, while defining a comfortable, designated area for users.
Taking inspiration from our popular Coniston Wall Mounted Canopy, the Coniston Apex features a high-quality aluminium frame with integral guttering for a streamlined appearance and effortless water management. The frame and guttering come in a white finish as standard, with the option to upgrade to any RAL colour to suit your environment or branding.
The roof is fitted with 35mm thick, vandal- and shatter-resistant polycarbonate panels, available in either clear or opal finishes to suit your preferred light levels.
Engineered for longevity, the Coniston Apex is backed by a 10-year guarantee on the aluminium frame and offers an impressive 25-year life expectancy, providing complete peace of mind for years to come.
