Outdoor Classrooms & Canopies
Outdoor classrooms, canopies and shade sails help schools and nurseries create practical places for learning, play and quieter time outdoors.
A freestanding outdoor classroom creates a dedicated teaching space, school canopies add cover beside an existing building or play area, and shade sails provide open shade over seating, play and outdoor learning.
Planning your outdoor space
Each structure is shaped around the space and how it will be used, from a compact classroom for small-group activities to a longer canopy or open shade across part of the playground. Seating, access routes and nearby buildings all help shape the layout.
Our free playground design service can help you visualise the position and surrounding layout in 3D.
These features can also sit alongside play equipment, seating, surfacing and landscaping. For a wider site brief, our complete playground service brings the relevant elements together in one coordinated design.
