Canopies in Nottinghamshire

Djanogly Northgate Academy in New Basford Add Multicoloured Straight Roof Shelter

Djanogly Northgate Academy have created a lovely, booth-like seating area, covered with bright polycarbonate panels, which makes a fun and sheltered space for children to sit and eat or just relax and take in the fresh air. In fact, they could even do some work here if they wanted to! The canopy is one from our Motiva Linear™ range, with Marine Blue (RAL 5002) steelwork and roof panels in green, yellow, red, pink, orange and blue!

Now the children are even more keen to be outside. They can shade from the sunshine under the bright new straight roof shelter, or they can seek refuge from the wet weather and still have some outside time.

George Spencer Academy in Stapleford Purchases Fabric Shelter

George Spencer Academy in Stapleford, Nottinghamshire needed a fabric canopy to allow its students to spend more time in the fresh air and expand its existing facilities. The ideal model would liven up the grounds and shelter those beneath it in all sorts of British weather. We endeavoured to make this school’s dream a reality when they asked us to manufacture and install their canopy.

After much discussion about our product range, George Spencer Academy settled on a 14000mm X 7000mm Maxima Tepee™. This adaptable model comes in a wide range of sizes and can offer extensive coverage through multiple modules – the staff chose a design with two modules to ensure it would make the best use of their outdoor space and keep children dry in the rain and sheltered in the wind. Jet Black steelwork and a Light Grey roof also created a wonderful atmosphere of sophistication.

Thanks to the new fabric canopy, students at George Spencer Academy can enjoy break times outside, even if it’s raining. They can chat with friends or eat lunch in an alternative facility that gives them important time away from the classroom and shows the power of tensile canopy systems.

Two Shade Sails Installed at Rushcliffe Country Park in Ruddington

Rushcliffe Country Park in Ruddington needed two shade sails to protect visitors from all sorts of weather when enjoying time away from daily life at their site, which has facilities including an outdoor gym, table tennis tables and a skatepark. They had to be able to work with the green spaces and not be too obtrusive, while also having attractive and effective designs. The team at the park also wanted the canopies to look identical and of top quality. We were ready to create something to perfectly fit the bill here at A&S Landscape.

Following talks around their requirements and vision, this customer in Nottinghamshire chose to have two Maxima StarSail™ shelters installed. Thanks to its functional, innovative design, this product can shelter those beneath it from sun and rain while adding something visually special to any outdoor area. We built the canopies with the same 4000mm X 4000mm measurements, Squirrel Grey steelwork and Olive Green roofs to make for a natural but fun atmosphere.

Everyone at Rushcliffe Country Park thinks highly of the pair of appealing shade sails. They have helped to make life easier for those spending time in the public space, such as families and walkers, whether it’s to take shelter from the sun or the rain. What’s more, the unobtrusive, high-quality and matching colour schemes for the canopies make it look as if they have always been a part of the landscape.

Playground Shade Sail at Nottingham Girls’ High School

What was the problem?

Nottingham Girls’ High School in Nottinghamshire has impressive facilities for their nursery and junior school. But the young pupils couldn’t always use their playground when the weather was wet, or too hot. A&S Landscape joined the project and proposed a fabric shade solution, which would be installed in an area of the playground.

What was our solution?

One square sail was added to the school, covering an area of 5m x 5m. The canopy was made with a waterproof PVC fabric, to provide protection from the rain. To match the school’s logo, the material was made with a smart Ultramarine Blue fabric. One each of the Dusty Grey coloured uprights, protective pads were added.

What was the result?

The nursery and primary school pupils of Nottingham Girls’ High School adore their school playground canopy. When they want to shade from the hot sun or drizzle, they can gather underneath the shade sail comfortably. This helps the pupils to spend more time in the fresh air, letting off steam and regularly exercising throughout the school day.

A little bit about the client…

Nottingham Girls’ High School is an independent day school, located north of Nottingham city centre. The school prides itself on their innovative style of education, which aims to beat stereotypes and give their students the best start in life.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with such a prestigious school and their fantastic teaching team, including Headteacher Julie Keller. It’s fantastic that this school values outdoor play so highly too, encouraging every single pupil to embrace the great outdoors, no matter the weather.

What is a shade sail?

Schools caring for younger pupils including playgroups, typically need an outside covered play area to ensure free flow play is possible in all weathers. They also provide additional outdoor teaching space, allowing teaching to be extended into the playground whatever the weather. A covered teaching area, providing all-weather protection is just one of the many benefits of waterproof shade sails for schools.

A school shade sail can provide staff and pupils with protection from the sun and shade from the rain, transforming previously unused areas into the perfect outdoor learning area, dining area or social space.

Our range of shade sails can be made to suit your outdoor space, branding and shelter requirements. There are many configurations are available, including hypar squares, multiple squares and triangles. You’ll also have a choice of finish too, with our Shade Cloth and PVC fabrics.

How can our canopies be used in nurseries?

Outdoor play can be so beneficial for young children, and so it is important that they get the chance to spend time outside during their early educational years. Sunlight is not only a source of vitamin D, but it also helps to regulate sleep. Outdoor learning has also been found to help pupil’s personal, social and emotional development.

Our range of canopies help nurseries get better use out of their external space, so the pupils can spend more time outside. We offer a wide choice of canopy designs, and our products are available in a variety of sizes so there’s something to suit every pre-school. Our multicoloured polycarbonate shelters are a great way of stimulating children’s imagination, and our fabric shade sails have proven to be very popular among nurseries and primary schools too. Or encourage your young pupils to use their bicycles by adding some cycle shelters to your facilities.

Covered Cycle Shelter Added at Sycamore Academy in Nottinghamshire

A&S Landscape installed a bike store using the Motiva Linear™ straight roof canopy structure. Measuring 8000mm X 2000mm, the shelter has plenty of room underneath for the pupils to park their bikes. The Marine Blue steelwork complements the surrounding buildings well, and the clear polycarbonate roof provides protection against rain and snow. Two cycle racks were fitted under the canopy, accommodating up to 20 cycles.

The pupils of Sycamore Academy now have a dedicated area where they can store their bikes during the day. The cycles can be securely locked to the racks and stay dry thanks to the roof. It’s great that this school has promoted such a healthy lifestyle and made it so easy for their pupils to choose an environmentally friendly option.

We offer a range of cycle shelters, including the Cyclo City, Bike and Buggy models. Our friendly team can help you choose the right design for your needs. Get in touch with us today on 01743 444100.
