Upon arriving and surveying the area, we agreed! Their existing canopy was tired, worn, and unsightly.

Ivy Chimneys loved the used of coloured polycarbonate in our proposal, as it really injected life and colour into a space that had none before. They were very excited for us to begin the project, and we booked them into a summer time installation slot, so their pupils could return to a happy new canopy!

The new canopy at Ivy Chimneys measures 7m x 2.2m, ideal to take small groups of kids out for lessons or a certain play activity. They opted for a nice variety of coloured polycarbonate, as well as a polycarb side panel as well to enclose the canopy.

The new canopy is a huge improvement to their old one, and we are very happy with another bespoke canopy that the customer loves, and of another job well done.

Bailey’s Court wanted a 50m x 5m monopitch timber canopy, that matched the camber of their existing roof, to provide a seamless design that complemented their school building.

The school opted for red and clear polycarbonate roofing sheets, as this reflects their school’s colours. They loved having this customisation option available to them.

Their brief was for something spacious, that navigated the rise in gradient they had directly outside of their school buildings.

Using our experience and knowledge of glulam timber beams, we proposed a shelter that would maximise space beneath the canopy, and still finish at an ample height, despite being up the rise.

They loved our design and requested we start work as soon as possible.

The canopy provides plenty of room for classes or play times to be taken outside, and affords ample protection from the rain, as well as from the sun – our polycarbonate roofing sheets are UV resistant and so stop the suns harmful rays. An integrated guttering system means no drips.

The curved beams add real interest to the school building, and you can see why Rodings Primary School as so pleased with their new shelter.

St. Mary’s Primary School in Hatfield Broad Oak desired to get rid of their existing canopy, which they believed to be an eyesore to the front of their school building.

They called Setter Shelters in to remove the shelter and design, manufacture, and install a replacement canopy, to refresh their main entrance.

We began by carefully removing the existing canopy

Our designers at Setter Shelters love a challenge, and the curved walls of Henry Allen Infant Schools main building presented just that. Fortunately, as leading designers, manufacturers, and installers of wooden curved beam canopies, it was a challenge we were well equipped to surmount.

Henry Allen wanted a covered space for the parents to wait whilst they dropped off and collected their children. The proposed build site presented quite a challenge, due to the size of the space, the lack of potential areas for the feet to be installed, and as mentioned, the curved walls of the building.

We proposed a design that would surmount all of these challenges; by utilising the curved beams that are normally part of the roofing system, but as the uprights, we could mimic the curve in the wall. This intuitive and efficient design worked perfectly, thus ensuring the space was fully enclosed, as desired by the school.

A look at the curved uprights:
