Outdoor Classroom Canopies UK

At MyCanopy, we design and make handcrafted outdoor canopies that create safe, inspiring spaces for learning, play, and community. Each canopy is built to last, using sustainable materials and tailored designs that suit schools, nurseries, and forest schools across the UK.

With over 30 years combined experience and close to 20 years’ experience working alongside schools and community groups, we understand what makes outdoor learning spaces work in practice. From first ideas through to delivery and full installation, we’re here to make the process simple, supportive, and stress-free.

Below you’ll find our core canopy styles. Each one can be adapted with PVC or canvas covers and fitted to your setting - whether suspended from trees, built with central poles, or installed with a timber frame.
