The Lysander has been developed to respond to real-world site conditions. Width, height, and column spacing can all be tailored to suit existing buildings, landscape features, and circulation routes, making it a dependable walkway canopy for complex layouts.
Typical applications include:
• School circulation routes and playground access
• School entrance canopy installations
• Hospital and healthcare walkways
• Commercial campuses and office parks
• Public sector and civic environments
Its adaptable design supports consistent shelter while maintaining clear pedestrian movement.
As a free standing canopy, the Lysander does not rely on adjacent buildings for support. This makes it particularly useful where structural fixing points are limited or where independent canopy runs are required.
The system can accommodate:
• Straight runs and wide spans
• Corners and bends using hip joints
• Overlapping canopy sections for complex routes
This flexibility allows the Lysander to navigate changes in direction and site geometry without compromising weather protection.
To enhance user comfort, the Lysander can be specified with side infill panels to form partially or fully enclosed walkways. This makes it suitable for exposed locations where wind, driving rain, or privacy considerations are important.
Available enclosure options include:
• PETg UV infill panels
• Fully glazed infill panels
• PVC roller blinds for adjustable protection
These options allow the Lysander to perform as both an open lysander shelter or a more enclosed pedestrian route, depending on site needs.
The Lysander combines a robust steel framework with high-performance tensile fabric, selected for durability and long-term outdoor use.
Framework
• Steel structure powder coated to any standard RAL colour
• Designed for strength and stability across varying spans
Fabric and drainage
• Coloured tensile fabric options available
• UPVC or aluminium guttering and downpipes for controlled water management
This material combination ensures consistent performance while allowing the canopy to integrate with surrounding architecture.
The Lysander canopy can be enhanced with integrated features to support safe, year-round use.
Optional additions include:
• LED lighting for consistent illumination
• Solar lighting for low-energy installations
• Protective post pads in high-use areas
A full installation service is available, ensuring the canopy is correctly positioned and aligned with site-specific requirements.
The Lysander offers a practical and adaptable lysander canopy solution for projects where pedestrian comfort, flexibility, and durability are critical. With its ability to span wide or narrow routes, accommodate bends, and provide optional enclosure, it remains a trusted choice for architects, specifiers, and contractors delivering high-quality covered walkways across education, commercial, and public sector environments.
