Retail and commercial canopies & walkways

Are you looking to provide weather protected covered walkways for your customers as they walk between retail outlets at your retail park?

Maybe your after protecting your stock and providing weather protection for your staff?

Fordingbridge can design and install retail and commercial canopies which work for your needs and environment.

Mixing practicality with comfort, Fordingbridge installed an 80m steel covered walkway for the global vacuum engineering company Edwards. The structure ensured a safe passage for visitors and staff, whilst doubling up as motorcycle and bicycle storage at different locations under the walkway.

“We have seen a 20% increase in sales in the area where the canopy was erected.  The area is now a hive of activity in all weathers, overall the canopy has been an outstanding success and has completely rejuvenated this end of the park along with entrance to the zoo.  The structure really does have a wow factor.”
Marc A Tierney, Drayton Manor Park

Structures for social space

EF Language School Fordingbridge

We also offer canopies for commercial space. This is not limited to retail and industry. If you are a college or university, you can provide a canopy to allow students to socialise outdoors regardless of weather, as seen at EF Language School. Further information can be found on the canopies for education page.

Make a statement with entrance canopies

Odeon Cinema Fordingbridge

Maybe you would like to add an architectural feature such as that seen on Odeon Cinema at Dickens World Leisure Development. This roof mounted tension fabric canopy adds drama to an otherwise simple elevation.

The same effect can be added using an entrance canopy. The entrance canopies help guide customers around your site, provide shelter for those entering buildings and provide an aesthetically pleasing finish to the door way.
