Parks and Public Spaces

The Benefits of Canopies & Shade Sails in Parks & Public Spaces

• Makes the Space Accessible All Year Round — Our canopies and shade sails allow families, children and young people to enjoy your park or public space all year round. Rain or shine, our range of covered area solutions are specifically designed to provide protection from all types of weather, creating a comfortable space for park visitors to stay dry, sheltered and safe, no matter the forecast. Making your park or public space more accessible not only improves the lives of the local community, but makes the space a more worthwhile and rewarding investment.

• Protects Children From the Sun’s Harmful UV Rays — While we all love to top up our tans and take in that much-needed vitamin D when it’s sunny, being out in the sun too much can be dangerous, especially for little ones. Prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays can increase your risk of developing skin cancer. A trip to the park should be about fun, fresh air and family time, not potentially harming you or your children’s health. Thanks to our high-strength, UV-resistant PVC fabric roofing, our canopies and shade sails provide much-needed shade in parks and public spaces, safeguarding both you and your family from those potentially dangerous UV rays.

• Provides Shelter from Wet Weather — Our covered area solutions protect you not only during the sunny season, but in the wetter months too (and we all know there are too many of those in the UK!). Rain, wind, hail and snow all pose a threat to what should be a pleasant trip to the park, but with our canopies and shade sails, families can still make the most of what the park has to offer while remaining sheltered from the elements. Many of our canopy designs have the option of smartly integrated downpipes and guttering, further helping you to deal with those dreaded downpours. We can’t promise our canopies will stop the little ones from splashing around in puddles, though!

• Offers a Covered Seating Area — Our canopies and shade sails are ideal for covering picnic benches and outdoor seating areas, creating a space for people to sit, eat and relax while staying safe and protected from the weather. Families can enjoy a picnic together while parents can take a (much needed!) rest while keeping an eye on their children as they play. If there’s a café in your park, our covered area solutions are a great way to provide your customers with a dry and sheltered outdoor seating space where they can enjoy a hot drink or tasty treat and watch the world go by. Solid, stylish and safe—our canopies and shade sails are a high-quality alternative to parasols.

• Covered Spectator Stand for Sports Pitches & Courts — If your park or public space has a sports area (perhaps a football pitch, tennis court or basketball court), our covered area solutions are a fantastic addition. We can build a covered spectator stand where fans, friends and family can take in the action while keeping warm and dry, or where substitutes and coaches can comfortably watch the game under shelter. A covered spectator stand will add to the occasion of each sporting contest while enhancing your overall park.
