Covered MUGAs everywhere!

We’re currently being inundated with enquiries about MUGA canopies (multi use games areas) for schools and leisure centres. And it’s easy to see why. They instantly upgrade spaces and facilities….

Years ago, school PE lessons were associated with cracked or flooded sports fields and muddy sports clothes. But thankfully, that scenario is long gone, with an increasing number of schools investing in MUGAs that come with multiple benefits. And, of course, in the UK, covering your MUGA ensures the added benefit of being able to use your new facility year-round

Seven reasons to invest in a MUGA canopy

1. Space efficiency: MUGAs can accommodate multiple sports in a single space so maximise your grounds and work brilliantly for city-centre sites where space is at a premium.
2. Low maintenance costs: The artificial surfaces of MUGAs are easy-care and become even easier to look after if they’re covered. A real win when the maintenance of expansive playing fields can be a significant expense.
3. Versatility: MUGAs can accommodate multiple sports from netball to football, basketball and tennis. It all comes down to size and the markings on the courts. Luckily our affordable canopy options are bespoke so you can make your MUGA and canopy as large or small as you want!
4. Boosted income: Covered MUGAs aren’t just appealing to school students. Local sports clubs will envy the all-weather premium playing conditions and will often be willing to pay to use them, helping to create a valuable new revenue stream for your school. Renting your facilities out has the added benefit of building a reputation for your school as being at the heart of your community.
5. Wellbeing benefits: The wellbeing benefits of regular sports participation are well documented and having covered sports facilities enables your students to experience benefits of team play and racing endorphins 12 months of the year.
6. Safety: The non-slip surfaces of MUGAs (especially if covered to be all-weather) significantly reduce the risk of injury. Some MUGA surfaces even have built in shock absorption!
7. ROI: We know that for schools every £ is fought for and needs to be invested with care. Luckily, MUGAs are amongst the soundest investments you can make thanks to their durability. And if you cover your MUGA you’re ensuring even greater use out of your investment. Each of our canopies also comes with a 25-year lifetime guarantee, so you’ll reap decades of sports play out of your investment.
