Fun Bespoke Dining Canopy at Great Baddow High School in Chelmsford
Great Baddow High School in Chelmsford, Essex wanted a bespoke dining shelter because it had particular needs in regards to its site’s setup and the aesthetics the team liked. They wanted to have a canopy installed that could become a new covered outdoor area for students to spend breaks in, with additional side panels and a design that could follow the roofline of their reception. Thanks to our excellent bespoke options, the staff got in touch with us to carry out this project.
Our design team was quick off the mark to assist Great Baddow High School on its journey to finding the ideal custom dining canopy. Their dedication resulted in a bespoke Motiva Linear™ that easily worked with the reception building’s specifications and accommodated side panels to keep out the rainy weather that many people know the UK for. Plus, an Opal roof and Jet Black steelwork made for a stylish structure that the children would thoroughly enjoy lunchtimes inside.
Great Baddow High School is a big fan of the new dining shelter. The staff were pleased with how the monopitch roof matched their roofline and how they could even use the canopy as an outdoor classroom shelter. Being able to adapt one of our existing products to make their ideal bespoke model was really helpful in ensuring it would be truly beneficial, and lunchtimes are now more fun and less crowded.

Glenwood School in Benfleet Add Fabric Shade Sails to Playground
A
&S Landscape installed a total of nine Maxima Sail™ structures in multiple areas of the school grounds. The fabrics were finished in a range of colours, including Mid Blue, Red and Bright Yellow. Each structure also featured post pads, to help protect the pupils from the steel posts.
Everyone at Glenwood School loves the new canopies and they have transformed the playgrounds. Now break times can be enjoyed outside, no matter the conditions. Teachers can also hold lessons outside, under the sails, providing an alternative learning environment. Parents could even wait under the shades at the end of the school day.

St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School in Grays Installs Outdoor Shelter
St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School in Grays, Essex was in need of a versatile outdoor canopy that could have a variety of uses – for outdoor activities like play and dining, plus shielding those walking outside the building in bad weather during the school day. It was important that the model was specifically designed to suit the site and that it had elements to protect pupils when running around under the shelter. We quickly put a project into motion for our new client.
With our help, representatives from this institution picked out a Motiva Linear™ from our product range. This variant is ideally suited to a model of multiple purposes due to its easily customisable specifications and reliable straight roof. The staff loved the combination of Gentian Blue for the steelwork – a colour which can boost creative thinking in learning – and Opal polycarbonate for the roofing, so we added this alongside seven post protector pads for added peace of mind and safety. 22440mm X 4000mm measurements also worked extremely well with the building.
Our shelter has revolutionised the school’s outside space and the custom specifications were a perfect fit, ensuring pupils and staff stay dry when moving around the building outdoors in the rain. Everyone loves how it can adapt to become a playground canopy one day and a dining shelter the next, and how the post protector pads make the new environment safe. If you’re interested in purchasing an outdoor canopy, call us on 01743 444100 now.
Modern Entrance Shelter Installed at Basildon University Hospital in Basildon
Basildon University Hospital in Basildon wanted to find an entrance canopy to update the way in to one of its buildings during works at the site. The Trust there was interested in bringing a more modern look to the entrance, alongside other new shops and spaces. The selected model needed to let in lots of light and also be able to efficiently protect anyone arriving at the hospital from the rain. The team decided that A&S Landscape was the right company to provide their custom canopy.
After taking a look at the various models we offer, Basildon University Hospital chose to have a 5900mm X 1200mm Motiva Entrada™ installed. We could immediately see why it stood out, thanks to its stylish angled roof and its ability to be manufactured to suit any building’s specifications. Combining this with Anthracite Grey steelwork made the shelter look aesthetically pleasing, and a Glass roof kept arrival experiences bright, welcoming and dry.
Basildon University Hospital was impressed with its new canopy. It perfectly lived up to expectations alongside the rest of the essential refurbishments, at a time when the government is looking to the future with promises to build new hospitals, and it has brought some much-needed, positive changes. The entrance shelter makes life easier for anyone arriving at the site for work, appointments or visits by keeping out the rain in bad weather, and newcomers get a great first impression.

St George’s Catholic Primary School in Shoeburyness Install a Timber Custom Canopy
St George’s Catholic Primary School, Shoeburyness, Essex, wanted to create an additional outdoor play and learning resource at their campus. With a focus on improving access to the outdoors for the school’s Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage One children, they wanted to install a new canopy cover to create an outdoor classroom.
They had a very clear project brief already when they contacted A&S Landscape. With an existing timber-framed standing canopy on their school site, they had a specific requirement that their new installation was timber too.
Among the shelter solutions available in the A&S Landscape product range is the Motiva Mono™, an asymmetric roof design canopy which is great for locating next to existing buildings. Lending itself perfectly to the requirements of St George’s Catholic Primary School’s project, this design was then installed using timber finished in Light Oak stain, with glazed end panels. Choosing from our range of colour options, Grey, RAL7000, aluminium guttering, downpipes and trim and an Opal polycarbonate roofing completed the design. Measuring just over 16 metres by approximately 4 metres, this custom curved roof canopy created an impressive covered space, offering rain shelter and UV protection for the young children using it at this infant school.
Find out more about the versatile nature of our Motiva Mono™ curved roof canopy range by contacting us to discuss your project today.
Bright Red Umbrella Shade at Sydney Russell School in Dagenham
A&S Landscape has many years’ experience of transforming outdoor areas for schools and were only too happy to help. Our wide range of canopy products includes fabric and steel and polycarbonate structures which are available in a range of colours and configurations. Sydney Russell School chose a Maxima Umbrella™ at 6000mm x 6000mm, which they installed with White (RAL 9010) steelwork and Poppy PVC fabric.
The result is a large area in the playground which offers shade and shelter to pupils. Whether it is UV rays or rain that you want to shelter from, the new space offers lots of options for play, socialising or relaxing. It also looks very smart and adds a nice design feature to the playground. The single post even has a post protector on it. These can be added to any canopy posts to minimise playground bumps. An extra level of safety to protect little heads – what a perfect solution!
A&S Landscape have a wide range of canopies. Our gallery contains over a thousand pictures of our work and you can view them online for some inspiration.
Multicoloured Covered Walkway Canopy at Hatfield Peverel Infants School in Chelmsford
Hatfield Peverel Infants School wanted to protect the pupils during the day, as they moved around the school. The staff decided to cover a commonly used walkway area with a canopy, but it was important that the cover fitted in with the surrounding buildings. A&S Landscape was asked to design, manufacture and install a school shelter.
We fitted our popular Motiva Linear™ straight roof canopy at the school. So that the design would work with the rest of the school, we used a multicoloured polycarbonate roof. This works perfectly with the Traffic Blue coloured steelwork and aluminium guttering too. Measuring 8000mm x 2500mm, the shelter has provided plenty of covered space. Overall, the school is thrilled with the finished cover and it has been the ideal addition to the area, creating a lovely focal point.
The canopy also has many other useful applications too, as it can be used as an outdoor classroom. This alternative learning environment will allow the teachers to take their classes outside without having to worry about the unpredictable weather. We loved working with this great school, and it’s brilliant knowing that our canopy will help to brighten the young pupils’ days.
Bright School Shelter in Colchester at St John’s Green Primary School
So when St John’s Green Primary School got in touch with us at A&S Landscape looking for additional outdoor space, we brought that philosophy to the project. Adding a Motiva Linear™ straight roof canopy gave St John’s Green a useable space. But when we added the sunshine palette to the coloured polycarbonate canopy, the structure came to life. Now, even on grey days, natural light floods these panels and leaves a little sunshine on the ground below.
The result of this bright and infectious design is a gorgeous addition to St John’s Green Primary School that will stand the test of time and bring its own brand of joy to every single school day. The straight polycarbonate roof canopy also provides additional outdoor space, completely flexible by design, which means it can be used for play, learning or just for some extra protection from the rain!
You don’t have to be a designer to come up with a great looking solution. A&S Landscape has a range of outstanding products that have evolved over many years of projects. Not only that, we have a design team that can help you achieve the look you want, even if you don’t know exactly what it is.

Seating Canopy Installed at Chelmsford County High School for Girls in Chelmsford
Chelmsford County High School for Girls in Chelmsford, Essex needed a seating area shelter as part of their site improvements; they were also building a new teaching block and sports hall. The staff at the school – which provides ‘a safe, caring and stimulating learning environment’ – wanted the canopy to allow students to eat and relax outdoors in all weathers, with an attractive, custom design that encouraged them to do so. A&S Landscape was pleased to be contacted about this and soon got to work on a solution.
Chelmsford County High School for Girls chose to have a custom Maxima Sail™ structure with six shade sails installed. This model is available in an unlimited number of configurations, making it ideal for schools who want to have more of a say in the design of their shelter. With Sheba Dark Blue shade cloth roofs and Sapphire Blue steelwork, the canopy looked appealing and modern and was up to the challenge of sheltering students spending time outside throughout the year.
Everyone at Chelmsford County High School for Girls loves the seating area canopy; students relax beneath it with friends and food in all seasons, thanks to its effective shelter. It has been a valuable addition to the institution’s improvements, looks stunning in the grounds and could also be used as an outdoor classroom shelter. Call A&S Landscape on 01743 444100 today to hear more about how we can help you with our fantastic products.
Some of our Essex clients
The Mawney Foundation School in Romford Add Tepee Shelter
The Maxima range of fabric canopies includes a number of different designs. There are Shade Sails, StarSails, Umbrellas and Tepees. You can choose from shade cloth which protects from UV rays, or you can opt for PVC which is UV and waterproof to give all-year-round shelter. The Mawney Foundation chose waterproof PVC fabric and built the Tepee at 7m x 7m to provide a large area for students. With Red (RAL 3000) steelwork and Grey (RAL 7037) PVC, the Tepee looks really smart and makes a statement in the playground with the bright red post pads to offer increased protection.
The children are pleased with their new sheltered area. It adds to their already fabulous playground, making sure that they can enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time even on the hottest and wettest days of the year. With the weather becoming even more unpredictable this is a welcome addition to The Mawney Foundation School.

Trio of Outdoor Canopies at Greensward Academy in Hockley
Greensward Academy in Hockley was looking for several shelters to enable its students to spend more time outside year-round. They wanted a pair of adaptable models for the playground and another which could be placed next to one of their buildings – all with modern designs that could also protect everyone from the wind and rain. We were thrilled when they contacted us to carry out this project.
The staff decided on two Maxima Tepee™ models that looked fantastic on the playground and opened up many possibilities, thanks to their fun modular design, minimal uprights, and matching Gentian Blue steelwork and White roofs. They chose our Motiva Linear™ for their third canopy, which worked well against the building elevation, and its high-quality materials made sure that the weather wouldn’t stop students from getting outside. Plus, the Ultramarine Blue steelwork and Opal roof complemented the other shelters wonderfully.
Greensward Academy loves the new outdoor canopies; they can be used in many different ways, such as becoming an outdoor classroom shelter, dining shelter or even a seating and relaxation area. Students can now enjoy the benefits of getting outside during their school days throughout the year, thanks to the structures, and they really lift the look of the grounds.

Thomas Willingale School chose a Maxima Shade Sail which they installed at 5500mm x 3500mm. The steelwork was Yellow (RAL 1003) and the fabric roof was Cherry Red. The new shaded area is just what the younger children needed. Their nursery area is now complete with its bright shade sail structure completing the design. What better way to spend a sunny afternoon than learning or having a story or just chatting under the shade sail in the garden. Something which the children are able to enjoy even on the hottest days of the year. Wonderful!

We have a large range of products and the Maxima Sail™was the canopy which Down Hall Primary School selected. The shade sail structure was installed at 12000mm x 6000mm in shade cloth on a total of 6 uprights. The school also added a curved roof canopy from our Motiva Duo™ range to a paved area in the corner of the playground.
The resulting covered spaces create flexible areas which the children can use in a number of different ways. They can read, socialise, play, eat, learn or just take in some fresh air whilst shaded from the sunshine and rain. A&S Landscape has an extensive range of canopies.

Rochford Hospital in Rochford Adds Fabric Sail to Garden
A&S Landscape have a range of outdoor canopies and the one which they chose for this project was the Maxima StarSail™. With only one post, the StarSail makes the most of a space of this kind. The steel was White (RAL 9010) and the fabric Sky Blue. Now the garden looks fabulous! The centrally placed StarSail has really enhanced the seating area and given patients another space to enjoy.
Many patients use the covered seating area each day now, no matter what the weather. Some peace and quiet in the fresh air is always welcome and now it is an option all year round.

Sydney Russell School in Dagenham Add Fabric Canopy
A&S Landscape has been working with schools for more than 40 years, helping to add the right canopy to each campus, so we knew that we had something to fit the bill. Our Maxima range includes the Umbrella canopy, which can have shade cloth or waterproof fabric. The waterproof fabric was selected and installed in a smart Porcelain Green colour. All our colours can be seen here on our colours page if you are looking for some inspiration.
The result is a smart new addition to the playground, which does exactly what we had planned. The children now have shade and shelter in their outside area.

Outdoor Dining Area Adds to R A Butler Academy in Saffron Waldon
The Motiva Linear™ canopy was installed at 10.2x5m, with Mid Blue (RAL 5010) steelwork and Opal roofing. The colours matched perfectly the blue of another one of the school buildings, meaning that this new addition went seamlessly into the design of the area. The canopy is not completely enclosed but it provides the necessary shade and shelter to make it a usable space all year round. Just as R A Butler Academy specified.
Space is always at a premium in schools, never more so than at the moment, so if you can increase the footprint of your school and its facilities by adding a cleverly designed canopy then this has to be a great option. Where courtyard areas already exist, particularly when they are adjacent to dining halls or classrooms, what better way to extend your space than by building some shelter.
A&S Landscape is here to discuss the options if you would like to add some space to your campus.

Connected to the building itself it is robustly constructed and offers a versatile outdoor area that can be used all year long.

Dining Area Canopy at West Hatch High School in Chigwell
What was the problem?
West Hatch High School in Essex wanted to give their students more seating choices during their busy lunchtimes. With intake figures rising nationally, this school was facing a common issue of a full dining hall. Students would sometimes struggle to find space to peacefully enjoy their lunch, spending their free time queuing and looking for a seat.
What was our solution?
One curved roof canopy was installed at the high school. The Motiva Duo curved roof canopy was finished with Brown Red coloured steelwork, to match the school’s logo. Unbreakable clear polycarbonate roofing was used on the shelter, providing protection from harmful UV rays.
What was the result of the polycarbonate canopy?
Everyone at West Hatch High School is thrilled with the new dining area. Now the students can choose to sit outside with their food. This has also relieved pressure from the hall inside the school too.
The students also use the shelter as a social area during breaks, allowing them to enjoy some fresh air no matter the weather. It could also be an ideal place to relax and revise before exams, away from often busy study spaces.
In fact, the school was so happy with their curved roof canopy that they rated A&S Landscape five stars for our hard work.
A little bit about the client…
West Hatch High School is a secondary school based in Essex, with a separate Sixth Form on site too. Every member of staff was a delight to work with and was clearly excited about the new addition to their campus.
It’s great that this school choose to add an outside dining area to their existing list of impressive facilities. Allowing students to spend quality time outdoors has many benefits on both their physical and mental health. We know that West Hatch High School will be able to use their curved roof shelter for many years to come.
Why install a dining area canopy?
There are so many reasons to install a dining area shelter, many of the schools across the country we have worked with have required a large outdoor dining area to accommodate students during lunchtimes, a cheaper alternative to extending the dining room. Often our canopies don’t require planning permission either, saving you time, money and stress.
We offer a wide range of dining area canopy designs, and we can make our models to suit your specifications and requirements. Our fabric shade sails create a stylish, yet practical statement and can be made with waterproof material. Or our straight roof canopies are a popular choice for schools too and can be easily expanded in the future should your capacity need expanding further.
How else can our canopies be used in schools?
There are various needs for canopies in schools. As well as enhancing the building and surroundings, they are ideal for protecting teachers and students of all ages in all elements; changing previously unused areas into additional usable space no matter the conditions.
Our school canopies are suitable for a wide range of applications including free-flow play areas, additional classroom space or all-weather sports pitches. Pupils of all ages can enjoy their food outdoors and socialise with their peers in the fresh air.

Cycle Storage and Shade Fitted at Somers Heath Primary School in South Ockendon
When A&S Landscape was asked to add secure cycle storage and some playing field shade at Somers Heath Primary School we knew exactly what to suggest.
To create some strong, robust and attractive cycle storage is no mean feat but our Cyclo City™ does the trick. Creating space for 5 cycle racks, accommodating 10 cycles, this ‘City’, made an instant impact on Somers Heath Primary School. However, the biggest impact was reserved for the Maxima Umbrellas. Somers Heath has a large open playing field area that is very exposed during the summer. By adding two Maxima Umbrellas at an overall size of 8000mm x 8000mm we’ve helped them create some valuable shade so their children can stay safe in the sun. Both the Umbrellas and the ‘City’ were finished with crisp white (RAL9010) steelwork, whilst the ‘City’ donned clear polycarbonate roofing and the Maxima Umbrellas were completed with Night Blue waterproof fabric.
The result is a couple of simple accessories that change the entire outfit. Now children can store bicycles safely, meaning they can get all of the benefits of riding to school as well as staying safe in the summer thanks to two Maxima Umbrellas that create large areas of shade and will last for years and years. Is it time to add a few new accessories to your campus? The big question is, ‘what results am I looking for?’. If you want to create shelter from the rain, robust storage or shade then we have a wide array of options to help you do that. To find out more, take a look at our full gallery of finished projects here.
Colourful Playground Shelter at Ravens Academy in Clacton-on-Sea
When we have open playgrounds and bad weather, children can get frustrated at not being able to spread their imaginary wings and run around, letting go. That’s where an outdoor playground shelter comes in, covering the area in a way that means the weather will never prevent this essential activity from taking place. Some of these shelters are bigger than others and we recently installed a fantastic outdoor shelter at Ravens Academy in Essex.
We installed a bright and colourful Motiva Linear™ at Ravens Academy, bringing their play area back into use all year round. Installed at 15000mm x 4000 & 5400mm x 4990mm, this coloured polycarbonate canopy covers a lot of space. Using a yellow (RAL 2013) paintwork we also added matching Alu-Tuff™ box profile aluminium guttering in matching Dura-Coat™ finish and to complete the look we added plastic multi coloured fencing.
This playground space is now contained and full of colour, making it a great place to play all year round and ensure that the learning at Ravens Academy is supported by letting imaginations run wild! You can see A&S Landscape’s full range of outdoor playground shelters here and if you have any questions then just get in touch using our online contact form.
Cycle Store at Thameside Primary School in Grays
A&S Landscape offers a wide range of canopy solutions, from shade sails and bicycle stores to tepees to linear canopies. It was decided that the Cyclo City™ product would be most appropriate for this requirement. All steelwork was in a deep red (RAL 8012) and the roofing in Opal polycarbonate. There were five racks, allowing 10 bicycles to be stored safely and securely.
The result is a school setting and campus that has put its money where its mouth is and make an investment and a commitment to healthy lifestyles and exercise. Now student and staff have the option to use their bicycles to travel to and from school, safe in the knowledge that they are secured and covered from the rain on wetter days. A bicycle can be a large investment and you want it to stay safe and dry whilst it waits to take you home. A&S Landscape can help you with inspiration and design expertise if you think your setting might benefit from something similar. Please get in touch to find out more about our cycle shelters.

Covered Play Area in Southend-on-Sea at Hamstel Infant School
A straight roof canopy was installed outside one of the school buildings. The Motiva Linear™ measures 15m X 3m, so plenty of covered space has been created. The Slate Grey steelwork helps the shelter blend in with the surroundings and the clear polycarbonate roof protects against UV rays. The pupils of Hamstel Infant School love their new addition to the playground. Now they can play outside in the fresh air all-year-round, using the shelter when needed. Play equipment can also be stored outside underneath the canopy, saving the school valuable storage room.
As well as straight roof designs, we have a range of product options including fabric canopies, curved and wave canopy designs and multicoloured roofs. Our shelters can be made to meet your exact requirements. Take a look at our gallery for more inspiration or call our friendly team today on 01743 444100.
Entrance Canopy at Marsh Green Primary School in Essex
This is our brains way of helping us out, instead of having to make complex decisions from scratch every time we happen upon something new, it uses the information it already has and our pre-approved feelings about that information to help us form a powerful story almost instantaneously. So whilst ‘first impressions count’ is true, it’s important you understand how it works.
A&S Landscape was delighted to install one of our trademark Motiva Entro™ canopies at the reception of Marsh Green Primary School. We installed a Motiva Entro™ curved roof canopy at 3780mm x 2200mm in a crisp white steelwork (RAL 9003) with clear polycarbonate roofing. We also included Alu-Tuff™ box profile guttering and downpipes in matching Dura-Coat™ colour finish.
A smart, attractive and modern entrance canopy that directs the eye, makes it clear which is the way in (it may sound obvious, but this is a crucial feature that buildings often lack) as well as giving a great first impression. Marsh Green Primary School is a modern, fresh and professional school that takes pride in itself and now that shows from a distance!
Have you ever considered what first impression your entrance is giving? To a stranger or even to a current pupil it says a lot about who you are and how you expect to be treated. Can you really tell so much from an entrance canopy? Yes, you really can and whether your entrance truly reflects what is inside or not doesn’t really matter. What matters is the impression it gives.
We have a number of entrance canopy solutions that are worth you exploring so take a look at our gallery here.
Whybridge Infants School Add Straight Roof Entrance Cover In Rainham
A Motiva Cantilever straight roof canopy was built outside the main entrance doors. The White steelwork matches the other external fixtures well and gives the area a seamless look. Clear polycarbonate sheets were used in the roof, allowing sunlight to shine through the shelter. Measuring 5m X 1.5m, there is plenty of covered space under the canopy for several people.
The entrance canopy has been the perfect addition to Whybridge Infants School. Visitors are now greeted by a professional-looking canopy, which makes the best first impression. If people are using an inter-comm system they can also wait under the straight polycarbonate roof canopy, sheltered from the weather. Prospective pupils and parents of this infant school can see straight away what a great school this is too.
A&S Landscape offers a range of entrance canopy designs, with curved roof styles, fabric canopies and wave designs available. There’s no better way of demonstrating your professionalism than with a smart shelter. View our gallery for more ideas, or get in touch with our team by emailing [email protected] and calling 01743 444100.
George Mitchell School in Essex add School Entrance Canopy
With a wide range of school canopy products, A&S Landscape had many designs to offer, but the solution was decided to be a canopy from our Motiva Linear™ range. The canopy had Squirrel Grey steelwork (RAL 7000) and Opal polycarbonate roofing. It measured 6480mm x 4000mm and also included a smart fascia to the front side.
The result is a very smart entrance canopy which is large enough and deep enough to shelter the many people who enter and exit the school building every single day. Pupils, parents, carers and visitors to the school are now clear where the entrance is, as well as being sheltered from the wet and hot weather as they come to and leave the school.
From Shade Sails, Umbrellas and Tepees, to straight or curved roof steel canopies, A&S Landscape have a range which is sure to offer you something special. We can help you from the beginning planning stages, right through to installation. Feel free to look through our gallery, which has more than 1500 images to inspire you.
Large Outdoor Dining Canopy Area at The Gilberd School in Colchester
The steel and polycarbonate curved roof canopy that was chosen was from our Motiva Duo™ range
. It measured 24m x 15m and was specified with red polycarbonate panels at one end. These panels tied into some existing red on the adjacent school building. The overall aesthetic was very modern with clean lines. The school added seating underneath where the students could sit to eat and relax whatever the weather had to offer, reliving pressure from the existing dining hall. The new dining canopy at The Gilberd School in Colchester was a completely bespoke design which has changed school life for the students for the better. We think it looks fantastic!

St Benedict’s Catholic College in Colchester Add Dining Canopy with Side Panels
Mealtimes were challenging at St Benedict’s Catholic College in Colchester, Essex, until they installed their fabulous new outdoor dining canopy. With a wide variety of food on offer to sustain their students through the school day, school meals were extremely popular. This is great news and means that everyone in the school is able to access good, nutritious food.
But, like a lot of other schools, as pupil numbers increased, the interior parts of the school became squeezed. And that’s why St Benedict’s Catholic College took the decision to contact A&S Landscape to see if we could propose a solution to this challenge. At A&S Landscape we offer a wide range of shelter solutions with flexible design options and a choice of features. From straight or curved roof variants, side panels, doors or even shutters, the Motiva range is particularly versatile. St Benedict’s Catholic College selected the Motiva Duo™ for their design, and created their custom canopy by selecting the steelwork colour to match accents from their school emblem.
The versatility of the Motiva Duo™ means that it has a range of uses on busy senior school campuses. From outdoor dining canopies to steel walkways, it is customisable and extraordinarily practical as a solution to the everyday pressures experienced on a busy school campus.
