Pegasus Primary School in Oxford approached us about our playground canopies, wanting to make more use of the space on their school site by providing a sheltered seating area for pupils and staff.

To meet their brief, we designed and built a high-quality glulaminated timber canopy with cantilever arms to protect from driving rain; the space has been made inviting to pupils and staff by including social seating areas.

This new multi-purpose shelter gives additional space onto the school site during break and lunch times, whatever the weather. Our versatile structure can also be used for outdoor learning; to add another dimension to their school day.

The benefits of our playground canopies

Pegasus Primary School’s playground canopy’s roof has been finished with our unique Opal 60 fabric, allowing for natural light transmission while protecting from harmful UV rays – as well as shielding staff and pupils from rain. What’s more, our canopies are built to last. Each of our canopies comes with lifetime guarantees of 25 years, so we provide protection over generations!
