Our canopies are a perfect solution for creating a spacious outdoor dining or student social area, encouraging students to take in some fresh air all year round. We offer a wide range of steel and timber canopies which have large spans to give plenty of space underneath for outdoor dining furniture.
An outdoor dining area is an easy way to create a larger space for students to eat at lunchtimes, creating an over-flow canteen, or just space to sit during break times, allowing children to get outside even in the rain, giving them a proper break from the school environment, so they can return to lessons feeling refreshed and ready to learn.
If you are looking to extend your dining capacity to ensure your pupils follow social distancing requirements, then a school canopy is the perfect solution. Our canopies enable you to move some pupils outside under a canopy which can be enhanced with canopy side panels, secure roller shutters and heaters and lights to make it much more comfortable in the colder months.
