Canopies in Surrey

Coombe Girls’ School in Surrey add a Large Dining Canopy

Coombe Girls’ School in New Malden, Surrey were looking to improve their facilities to provide increased dining space for the students to use for dining and break time. The school – whose mission is to create a tailored learning experience to develop curious, creative, and confident students – was looking for a canopy that could shelter students during their lunch breaks and accommodate a large number of students.

After contacting A&S Landscape, the school shared their vision and requirements with our specialist team who began to turn that vision into a reality. We installed a Motiva Duo™ canopy, with dimensions 24000mm x 10000mm, with a Squirrel Grey Duracoat™ which ensures the structure remains resistant to scratches, chipping, abrasions, corrosion, fading, and other wear issues. The school chose to pair this with an Opal polycarbonate roof, which is one of our most popular colour choices due to its versatile design that projects a lot of light.

The students at Coombe Girls’ School love the extra space, and having the choice of eating their lunch indoors/outdoors. The large finished space is so versatile (and could also be used for outdoor learning, concerts, and events), so we can’t wait to see all of the ways the school takes advantage of this new space.

Lime Tree Primary School in Merstham Add Covered Walkway

Lime Tree Primary School in Merstham, based in beautiful Surrey, required a durable canopy cover that would provide protection from the elements for staff and pupils when moving between classes using external entrances. This institution, which works hard to give children the best school lives possible, needed a model with great coverage that could also adjoin their existing building. They worked with A&S Landscape to find the right product for them.

After much deliberation, they picked the Motiva Linear™ as the shelter they wanted to add to their school facilities. They liked the effortless design of their chosen Slate Grey steelwork and Opal polycarbonate roofing, and thought it would offer brilliant protection from all sorts of weather – including sun and rain. The area they needed to cover was over 40 metres long but, as the Motiva Linear™ is available in virtually any dimensions, it was no trouble to supply them with a model that suited their requirements. This straight roof canopy variant was the perfect choice for a covered walkway, as it has been used for many such applications before.

Everyone was happy with the sleek look of their new custom canopy, and now pupils can move between lessons and classrooms without worrying about the weather. It could also be used as a playground shelter, so children get a little more time outdoors when they would otherwise have been having rainy break times! Want to know more about school shelters?

Play and Learning Canopy Installed at Danes Hill School in Oxshott

Danes Hill School in Oxshott wanted to install a canopy to provide their pupils with year-round opportunities for outdoor learning and play. The staff – who ‘guide children so that they become independent and confident individuals’ – felt that the design was particularly important and wanted it to be striking and colourful, as well as large enough to accommodate many children enjoying being outside. A&S Landscape had some fantastic ideas to make this a reality.

A 30500mm X 4000mm Motiva Mono™ was installed at Danes Hill School – custom specifications which A&S Landscape was happy to supply by adapting their product so it could be enjoyed by even more pupils at once. This particular model is a popular choice for play area canopies, and it has a stylish asymmetric roof that works well next to existing buildings. It is also ideal to cover outdoor learning spaces, and the multicoloured steelwork and Opal roof made for a bright design that would inspire everyone at the school.

The play and learning canopy was a hit with Danes Hill School. The colourful design matched a Motiva Duo™ that A&S Landscape had previously installed and the two shelters have improved the institution’s outdoor facilities. Pupils can now use the space as an outdoor classroom gazebo, or a playground canopy to encourage exercise and socialising outside, whether it’s sunny or rainy.

Chobham Adventure Farm Cover Outdoor Seating Area with Shade Sails

Chobham Adventure Farm in Chobham, Surrey had the idea to install a trio of shade sails to cover its sandpit and dining area. The team at the site – which features both indoor and outdoor play facilities – wanted a model that matched their brand colours but also had a fun and innovative design to shelter visitors so they could play or eat outdoors in all weathers. They contacted us and we quickly got to work.

Following detailed discussion, Chobham Adventure Farm chose to install three Maxima Sail™ canopies. Thanks to its versatility and durability, this was the perfect model to shelter their spaces for outdoor dining and play. We manufactured the canopies using a total of 16 posts to create a large area that could be utilised by many customers at once in rain or shine. What’s more, the Aniseed fabric roofs and Slate Grey steelwork look fantastic with the site’s branding and the eye-catching design made for a contemporary yet welcoming atmosphere.

Visitors and staff alike at Chobham Adventure Farm enjoy how the shade sails have transformed the outdoor area. Now, everyone can spend quality time with loved ones chatting and eating under the dining canopies on rainy days, and youngsters can play in the sandpit without parents worrying about the effects of the sun in summer.

Straight Roof Play Area Shelter Built at Furzefield Primary School in Redhill

Our Motiva range of canopies come in a number of designs, and Furzefield Primary School chose the Linear canopy.

The canopy had white (RAL 9101) steelwork, guttering and downpipes and an Opal polycarbonate roof. This light, bright new space, adds another large area to the school site. What a lovely new space they have – it has truly been the perfect choice.

The result is a new covered area. They have activity tables, sandpit, wellie rack under cover now and plenty of room to set up activities for the children.

Epsom College in Surrey Cover Outdoor Seating Area with Wall-mounted Sail Shade

Epsom College, Surrey, was keen to ensure that they were able to offer socially distanced outdoor meeting space to comply with the Government guidance. This historic college was mindful that any shelter solution must fit well with the surrounding buildings.

Dating back to the reign of Queen Victoria, the site is steeped in history. The team at A&S Landscape have experience of working with clients and buildings spanning every age of construction. This means that they are in a great position to advise on the options available for all sorts of canopy installations. With values based on trust, expertise and creativity we believe that there is a shelter solution for every situation.

For the Epsom College project, our designers proposed a canopy cover suspended at a high level from wall-mounted brackets. The product utilised was from our Maxima Sail™ range. Offering flexibility from the point of view of the installation, this great product can also be customised with a choice of fabric types and colours. The final Epsom College installation delivered on the aim of providing sheltered outdoor space. The utilisation of waterproof fabric ensured that those using the seating area beneath are protected from the rain. However, the new outdoor shelter will also be a fabulous sun shelter during the summer months too.

Oasis Academy Coulsdon Create Outdoor Dining Area with Canopy

Like so many other schools, Oasis Academy Coulsdon, located in Surrey, wanted to enhance their campus resources. Juggling budgets and student numbers in busy school communities is often a challenge. With not enough in the budget for a full school extension, the question of how to get the most out of the campus resources can be difficult to answer. That is, unless, like Oasis Academy Coulsdon, you start to look at the space on your campus that isn’t actually adding any value. Looking creatively at what space there is outside can often unlock the potential of an otherwise unused space.

Oasis Academy Coulsdon wanted to create a shelter solution that enabled pupils to enjoy the campus outside spaces, whilst protecting them from the weather. Rain or shine, a well thought-out canopy cover can be a great way to achieve this. Following a consultation with our designers, Oasis Academy Coulsdon commissioned a 12 metre by 10 metre Motiva Duo™ from our range. The Duo is a fabulous choice for an outdoor shelter on a high school campus. The sizes and configurations are expansive and, the opportunity to customise your design comes in the form of a range of optional extras. Oasis Academy brought in colours from their emblem and uniform, selecting Signal Green (RAL 6032) for the steel shelter frame and Opal for the polycarbonate roofing.
