What was the project brief?

All Saints Catholic College were in need of covered space for their playground and worked with A&S Landscape to find their ideal solution. Looking for a turnkey solution, the school benefited from our comprehensive service, which included the full canopy installation along with the supply of benches.

What was our canopy solution?

We provided our Motiva Duo™ canopy, a popular choice among schools for its exceptional ability to accommodate large groups of students. Known for its unparalleled strength and durability, this canopy measures 24,000mm x 8,000mm and comfortably seats over 200 students, which will help alleviate any overcrowding in the dining hall. The design features our Slate Grey Duracoat™ for outstanding strength against rust, corrosion, or scratches, paired with our Opal polycarbonate roof. The design was completed with the addition of 23 of our Henry Bench™ products, transforming the canopy into a functional space for students to enjoy, all supported by our extensive warranties.
