Canopies in Lincolnshire

Branston Community Academy in Lincoln Create New Outdoor Dining Area

A&S Landscape worked with the school to design a bespoke outdoor dining shelter constructed from steel and polycarbonate. The canopy measured 19552mm x 9131mm and was fitted with polycarbonate side panels and 2 x 2.5m roller shutter doors. The steelwork and Alu Tuff guttering was Traffic Blue and the roofing Opal polycarbonate. The canopy created the secure, sheltered area that the school was looking for and they completed it by adding picnic benches for the students.

The outdoor dining area at Branston Community Academy has created a fabulous dining and socialising area for students. The perfect solution for a growing school who found crowding at lunchtimes a problem. Now students can enjoy more seating space whatever the weather. Not only does the covered dining space protect the students from the wet weather, but it also shelters them from wind and protects them from UV rays on brighter days. A real all-year-round solution.

“My name is Andrew Pell, I am the Assistant Caretaker at Branston Community Academy in Lincolnshire. Our canopy was built in term time, the A&S Landscape team were aware of all health and safety considerations and there was no disruption to the school. The children find it very useful, it is really busy at lunchtimes every day and it is a great asset to the school really. You can sit out here in all weathers, even in the rain and the wind. The build quality is absolutely superb.”

Striking Shade Sail Installed at De Wint Court in Lincoln

New extra care housing development in Lincoln, De Wint Court, was trying to find a shade sail to bring the space outside its entrance to life. The team at the site – which has care provision available, non-resident management and support staff, a wellbeing suite and a salon – wanted it to have an out-of-the-ordinary, contemporary design that worked well with the modern architecture. They got in touch with us here at A&S Landscape and we soon got to work.

De Wint Court chose to add a Maxima Sail™ to its grounds, as they thought it would best meet their requirements. This model is a wonderful choice for a client looking for a creative design, as it is available in any shape, colour or configuration. We installed this one with a pair of 6000mm X 6000mm sails on six uprights, resulting in a canopy with unmistakable ‘wow’ factor. A Karloo Sand roof and Anthracite Grey steelwork also made for a subtle, sophisticated colour scheme that matched the buildings.

The staff and residents love the new shelter; the area by the entrance has now been transformed, thanks to the innovative design. The shade sail is functional as well as aesthetically welcoming too, because it efficiently protects those beneath it from the sun’s rays.

Shade Sails and Entrance Canopy At The St Lawrence Academy in Scunthorpe

The requirement was two-fold, in that the entrance to The St Lawrence Academy required some shelter as well as a greater sense of identity. This was easily remedied by the addition of a striking Motiva Mono™ curved roof canopy, which shelters visitors, parents and students from the elements, as well as adding a smart first impression when people arrive.

The second requirement was for additional dining space. To give students the option to dine outside whatever the weather is just another way in which The St Lawrence Academy add to the learning environment for their pupils. The decision was to add two Maxima Umbrellas™ to the playground area. With waterproof fabric, these umbrellas not only shade the pupils from UV rays in the summer, they offer shelter from the rain in the wetter months too. More people can now dine outdoors and enjoy some welcome fresh air, even in the wintertime.

The result is a very smart outdoor area at The St Lawrence Academy. The entrance makes a striking first impression and many more children now enjoy eating, socialising and relaxing outdoors all year round. Overall, the school has added some lovely new areas to the campus. We love it!

Covered Playground Shelter Made for John Fielding Community Special School in Boston

It was agreed that the Motiva Linear™ straight roof canopy was the best fit for effectively covering the spaces outside the classrooms. The design has large, useable areas, kept posts to a minimum and was very aesthetically pleasing. The steelwork and Alu Tuff guttering was in Green (RAL 6005) and the roofing in Opal polycarbonate. The new canopies looked smart as soon as they went up.

The children at John Fielding Community Special School now have shade and shelter to enjoy more time outdoors without the weather getting in the way! For some of the children with additional needs, the option to have more outside space where they can go to have some ‘quiet time’ or space to reflect, is very important. Now they have more options and a smart canopy which keeps both the sunshine from glaring through the windows in the summer and the rain from wetting the playground in the winter.
