Seville Canopy

A Walkway Canopy Designed for Shelter, Sightlines and Rainwater Control

The Seville is a curved walkway canopy developed for projects where weather protection needs to be delivered without creating a visually heavy structure. Its mono-pitch form was engineered to maximise user cover, manage rainwater run-off effectively, and maintain an open aspect for users and onlookers.

This makes it particularly suitable for education and public environments where circulation, visibility and usability all need to be considered together within one canopy design.

Curved School Canopy Form with Open, Unobstructed Use

Originally developed to support a school performance setting, the Seville canopy was engineered around a curved mono-pitch concept to protect users while preserving openness to the front. A bespoke curved lattice beam approach was used to help keep the stepped area free from obstructions, supporting safer movement and clearer sightlines.

Design benefits include:
• Curved mono-pitch canopy profile
• Open aspect to maintain visibility for users and audiences
• Engineered form to reduce obstruction beneath the canopy
• Suitable for multi-use education and public spaces

As a school canopy, this is especially useful where covered areas are used for circulation, gathering, or informal performance and assembly purposes.

Covered Walkway Canopy with Rear Drainage Integration

The Seville is designed to manage rainfall efficiently, shedding water to the rear into a combined roof support and downspout arrangement. This supports cleaner pedestrian routes and helps reduce water discharge into primary access areas.

Rainwater management features include:
• Roof design sheds rainwater to the rear
• Combined roof support and downspout detail
• Canopy form engineered to support practical run-off control

This configuration makes it a practical covered walkway option for entrances, routes between buildings and school movement corridors.

Robust Steel Construction for Long-Term External Performance

The structure is built using welded frames and purlin sections made from heavy-duty steel sections, assembled with anti-tamper high-strength bolts. Hot dipped galvanising provides corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor use in exposed environments.

Construction highlights include:
• Welded frames and purlin sections in heavy-duty steel
• Anti-tamper high-strength bolt assembly
• Hot dipped galvanised finish for corrosion resistance
• Designed for repeated daily use in public and education settings

This robust construction supports dependable performance across high-use sites with routine maintenance schedules.

Roof and Glazing System Specification

The Seville canopy combines polycarbonate sheeting with an extruded aluminium glazing cap system to provide durable weather cover and a clean finished appearance.

Roof and glazing features include:
• Multi-wall polycarbonate sheeting
• Extruded aluminium glazing cap system
• Curved canopy geometry for a distinctive architectural profile

Where projects reference mixed materials and cleaner detailing, the glazing cap arrangement can support an aluminium canopy aesthetic while retaining the structural benefits of galvanised steel.

Typical Applications for the Seville Entrance Canopy

The Seville is suited to projects requiring a covered external area with a more architectural shape and clear practical performance.

Typical applications include:
• School canopies for circulation and sheltered gathering
• Entrance canopy installations for public buildings
• Covered walkways between buildings
• External stage or performance-adjacent shelter areas
• Campus and civic spaces requiring weather protection with open sightlines

It can also be specified alongside complementary Broxap site furniture, shelters and bins to create a coordinated external environment.

Optional Features for Site Requirements

The Seville can be tailored to suit project and site needs with a range of options.

Optional features include:
• Stylish semi-circular design options
• Submerged baseplate fixing detail
• Internal lighting or solar lighting

These options support adaptation to site conditions, project aesthetics and operational requirements.
