Why More UK Schools Are Investing in Outdoor Canopies

From improved mental health and focus to increased engagement in learning, the benefits of outdoor classrooms are backed by research and experience.

But without proper shelter, unpredictable British weather can limit outdoor learning. A canopy solves this problem, providing a weatherproof, secure, and inspiring space all year round.

Common uses include:

• Outdoor classrooms & covered learning zones

• Forest school base camps

• Sensory & calming spaces for SEN settings

• Storytelling and group circles

• Sheltered community and event spaces

Our Core Canopy Styles

We offer three handcrafted canopy designs, built to suit different learning environments:

🌿 Firepit Canopy - Tree-suspended, pole-free design, ideal for fire circles, group storytelling, and flexible use.

🌲 Woodland Canopy - Classic central pole structure, blending naturally into woodland and green spaces.

All covers are made from UK-manufactured PVC or canvas, rot and fireproofed to British safety standards.
