The brief

A forward-thinking landlord came to us wanting to revitalise their High Street property portfolio in Rustington, installing retail canopies to create a more attractive environment for local residents and to encourage all-weather trade for local retailers.

The response

Rustington’s busy High Street features over 50 stores from national high street names to a host of local independent traders and so creating a cohesive look to the busy area was a key priority.

With this in mind, we created identical retail canopies to run the full length of both sides of the high street, with the commercial canopies creating a true ‘all-weather’ shelter for shoppers – shielding them from driving rain in the winter months and from the beating sun in the summer.

Installation was completed within an ultra-tight timeframe, with as much work as possible completed outside busy shopping hours to minimise disruption to local traders and residents.

Reaction to the build has been unanimously positive:

‘Very visionary and it will make an already fab shopping street even better.’

‘Congratulations to all involved. I have to say I think the canopies are looking absolutely stunning. How lucky is Rustington? We will be the envy of even more towns and villages than we already are!’

The wow

As part of our sustainability commitment, we prioritise the creation of structures that are built to last and stand the test of time. It’s why all our structures come with an industry leading 25-year lifetime guarantee. In this case, we carefully chose a high-grade powder-coated finish for the canopy structure, as it’s renowned for its resilience against corrosion in coastal environments.
