Canopies for schools
Our school playground shelters and canopies come in a variety of vibrant school colours and are designed to create sheltered spaces for outdoor dining and year-round outdoor classrooms.
Our versatile canopy structures are equipped with side panels and entrance points to provide the necessary level of shade and protection from the sun’s harmful rays for any outdoor setting.
Our covered walkways, entrance canopies, and door canopies not only serve to guide visitors around the school premises but also make for a grand entrance. With the growing importance of supporting students' well-being, our bike shelters for schools are now an essential addition.
By installing a Broxap shelter or canopy, you can revitalise outdoor areas, unlocking their potential for new purposes. This increases capacity and offers new opportunities for teaching while promoting a healthy outdoor environment for both students and staff.

Playground Canopies & Shelters
Playground canopies and shelters are increasingly essential for schools, playing a crucial role in promoting the health and wellbeing of both students and staff.
During the summer, the need for shaded areas with adequate UV protection is essential for ensuring sun safety during outdoor activities.
Our range of canopies, including fabric structures or school shade sails, not only provide protection from the sun but also offer a covered area for outdoor play, whatever the weather. This is particularly beneficial for early years students as it ensures that they have a safe and dry space to engage in physical play, supporting their overall wellbeing.
By creating more space for outdoor play, playground structures contribute to the development of a well-rounded play area that encourages physical activity and fosters a sense of joy and exploration.
