Canopies for Schools

Canopies for Schools

Able Canopies have been market leaders for supplying and installing canopies for schools for over 19 years. Our first product the Coniston Wall Mounted Canopy is still our no1 product and with continual development, it has remained most popular canopy for schools. After the successful launch of the Coniston, went on to add freestanding canopies to our range and now have over 50 standard products in our range and an in-house design team so we can design bespoke products to your individual style and function requirements.

School Canopies


All our canopies are commercial grade structures that are designed for high traffic areas, including schools, colleges, universities, and nurseries. Our school canopies can provide much needed shade and shelter within playgrounds to provide shade for outdoor play and outdoor lessons. They can also extend your dining room into the outdoors whilst keeping pupils protected from the elements, and we can even construct outdoor classrooms with side panes and doors to create an enclosed, cost-effective, long-lasting solution instead of full building extension.

The possibilities are endless, particularly when you consider canopy accessories and colour choices.
