The Delamere timber canopy is a contemporary symmetric shelter system designed to provide high-quality weather protection with a natural timber finish. Featuring a stylish curved roof profile and adaptable structural dimensions, Delamere is well suited to education, public realm, and commercial environments where external cover must combine architectural refinement with long-term durability.
With the ability to incorporate side panels and enclosure features, Delamere can form anything from an open canopy to a partially or fully sheltered outdoor area.
The Delamere Symmetric Canopy offers a beautiful natural finish along with a stylish curved symmetric roof. The width, height and column spacings can all be adapted to suit the existing surroundings. Corners and bends can be easily accommodated using hip joints or individual canopies which overlap.
A Wooden Canopy for Schools, Walkways, and Entrance Areas
The Delamere Symmetric is designed for architects, local authorities, and contractors specifying attractive, long-lasting outdoor cover.
Typical applications include: • School canopy provision for entrances and circulation routes • Covered pedestrian links between buildings • Outdoor learning and sheltered gathering spaces • Commercial walkways and site access routes • Public realm entrance protection and civic forecourts
As a refined wooden canopy, Delamere supports year-round usability while enhancing the surrounding landscape character.
Curved Symmetric Roof Design for Architectural Consistency
The Delamere Symmetric is defined by its balanced curved roof profile, offering a clean and contemporary alternative to standard flat or monopitch canopy structures.
Key Design Benefits • Curved symmetric roof for visual harmony • Natural timber aesthetic suited to landscaped environments • Adaptable width, height, and column spacing • Suitable for standalone canopies or linked canopy runs
This makes Delamere an ideal timber entrance canopy for projects where architectural consistency and material warmth are priorities.
Timber Walkway Canopy Flexibility for Complex Layouts
Delamere can be configured to accommodate site-specific pedestrian routes, including corners and directional changes.
Layout Adaptability • Corners and bends formed using hip joints • Overlapping individual canopies for extended coverage • Modular approach for phased developments and long walkway runs
As a practical timber walkway canopy, Delamere integrates smoothly into wider external circulation plans.
Roof Cladding Options for Daylight and Weather Control
Delamere can be specified with a range of roof materials to achieve the right balance of light transmission, shading, and protection.
Roof Cladding Choices Include • Clear PETg UV roof cladding • Structured multiwall roof cladding • Opal or clear finishes for daylight management
These options allow specifiers to tailor canopy performance to the needs of schools, commercial sites, and public realm environments.

The Delamere Symmetric canopy can accommodate side panels to provide additional shelter from wind and driving rain, or to create more enclosed outdoor spaces.
Side Panel Options • PETg UV or multiwall infill panels • Glass panels for premium architectural settings • Roller shutters for secure enclosure • PVC roll-up blinds for flexible screening
This flexibility supports use as a sheltered outdoor classroom, covered dining space, or protected entrance zone.
