Canopy Shelters for Schools
Lean-to and freestanding canopies that keep rain off while letting light in. Ideal for covered play, outdoor dining and walkways — built to last and scalable to any length.
What's Included
Every SJS Solutions canopy is designed to maximise covered space while keeping your site looking great.
Freestanding or Wall-Mounted
Lean-to canopies fix to an existing building wall. Freestanding canopies go anywhere on site — playground, field or courtyard.
Polycarbonate or Timber Roof
Clear polycarbonate lets light through while keeping rain off. Solid timber roofing provides full shade and a more enclosed feel.
Guttering & Drainage
Every canopy includes guttering and downpipes as standard, directing rainwater away from the covered area.
Scalable to Any Length
Start with a single bay and extend later, or cover an entire walkway in one go. Modular design means no limits.
Steel or Timber Posts
Choose galvanised steel posts for a slim profile, or timber posts to match the natural look of your school grounds.
Coloured Panels Available
Add coloured polycarbonate panels or painted timber for a vibrant, child-friendly look that matches your school colours.
