A Duo Pitch Canopy for Multi-Use External Spaces
The Newcastle Duopitch Lattice is a practical duo pitch canopy designed for projects that require dependable shelter with a more defined architectural roof form. Initially developed to provide cover to a school courtyard for outdoor dining, it is equally suitable for a broad range of applications where weather protection, durability and visual quality are important.
Its flexible format makes it a strong option for education settings and public environments where one canopy system may need to support different activities across the same site.
Dual Pitch Canopy Design with Offset Apex Roof
A key feature of this canopy is its offset apex roof, which gives the structure a distinctive profile while maintaining practical overhead coverage. The roof form helps create a more considered appearance than a standard mono-pitch shelter and makes the canopy suitable for prominent locations such as courtyards and entrances.
Design highlights include: • Dual pitch canopy form with offset apex roof • Clean, structured roof profile suited to visible site locations • Practical overhead cover for circulation and activity areas
This makes it a suitable choice where the canopy is expected to contribute to the overall look and feel of the surrounding development.
Suitable for Covered Walkways, Entrances and Outdoor Learning Areas
The Newcastle Duopitch Canopy is designed for a range of uses across education and public-sector projects. Its form and robust construction make it suitable for both everyday circulation and more static uses such as sheltered gathering or learning.
Typical applications include: • Entrance canopy installations • Covered walkway routes between buildings • Outdoor classrooms • School courtyard dining and breakout areas
As a school canopy, it supports sheltered external use throughout the year while maintaining an open and accessible footprint.
Robust Steel Construction for Long-Term Outdoor Performance
The structure is manufactured using welded end frames and purlins made from heavy-duty rectangular section steel, assembled with anti-tamper high-strength bolts. It is hot dipped galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461, providing corrosion resistance for long-term performance in exposed external environments.
Construction highlights include: • Welded end frames and purlins in heavy-duty rectangular section • Anti-tamper high-strength bolt assembly • Hot dipped galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 • Designed for repeated use in outdoor settings
This construction approach supports reliable whole-life performance across busy school and public sites.
Polycarbonate Roof Cladding for Light and Weather Protection
The canopy is supplied with clear multi-wall polycarbonate cladding, providing effective weather protection while allowing natural light into the covered area. This helps create a brighter space beneath the structure, which is particularly useful for school courtyards, walkways and outdoor teaching areas.
Standard roof features include: • Clear multi-wall polycarbonate cladding • Good light transmission beneath the canopy • Durable overhead protection for day-to-day use
This balance of shelter and light makes the canopy well suited to high-use education environments.
Fixing and Installation Detail
The Newcastle Duopitch Lattice includes submerged fixing as standard, helping provide a clean installation detail at ground level and supporting safer circulation around the canopy base area.
Standard installation feature: • Submerged fixing
This is particularly useful where the canopy is installed in pedestrian-heavy zones such as courtyards, routes between buildings and entrance areas.
Options for Project-Specific Requirements (£POA)
The canopy can be tailored to suit different site requirements and design preferences through a range of optional features.
Optional features include: • Internal lighting or solar lighting • Opal, bronze or grey tinted multi-wall polycarbonate • Full installation service
These options allow the canopy to be aligned with wider campus or public realm design schemes, while also improving usability in lower-light conditions.
Integration Within Wider School and Public Realm Schemes
The Newcastle Duopitch Lattice is often specified as part of a broader external works strategy and can be paired with complementary Broxap products such as seating, litter bins, cycle parking and shelters. This supports a more coordinated approach to external circulation, gathering and amenity spaces across schools and public sites.
Its adaptable use across entrances, walkways and outdoor classrooms also helps create consistency of shelter design across multiple areas of the same project.
