canopies, shelters & shading
Seafront shelters
A PAIR of shelters designed by Duggan Morris Architects has been winched on to the seafront at Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex as part of a regeneration project worth more than £5m. These are the first of four shelters that
The shade sails offers up to 99 per cent UV protection
Sail structure
MULTIPLE shade sails have been installed to provide all-season weather protection at Our Lady Immaculate Primary School in Liverpool.
The school has a very large outside play
area for the children consisting of upper and lower playgrounds. Although an ideal area to run around on, the space was completely open to the elements, providing limited sun protection and restricting play time during wet weather. Comprising a high density polyethylene shade sail canopy with up to 99 per cent UV protection, the sails help to protect against the harmful effects of the sun's rays. Designed to fit in any outdoor space, the bespoke three sail design at Our Lady Immaculate school fits into an existing banked area of the playground. Each 6m x 6m x 6m sail was fixed together to create a large sheltered area and positioned at alternating heights to cast dappled shade for the pupils.

were selected through a Royal Institute of British Architecture organised competition. Situated on the West Parade section of the seafront, the predominantly timber design was subtly amended following public feedback to Rother District Council to provide increased protection from the elements and comfortable wooden benches
with backs. Up to 20 people can sit within a shelter and they will provide users with the option of facing the sea or sitting in different directions depending on the weather conditions. The shelters will sit alongside rejuvenated
gardens, landscaping and new seating. The Next Wave regeneration project, which will also include a new park area, restaurant, rowing club and refurbished grade II listed Colonnade building, is due to complete later this summer.

Free-standing canopy for infant school
A FREE-STANDING canopy finished in bright colours is being used to enhance outdoor space at Whitmore Infant and Nursery School. Designed, manufactured and installed by Able Canopies, which had previously installed a shade sail at the neighbouring Whitmore Junior School, the Ullswater free-standing canopy uses a corner structure for strength and large self-supporting spans. It features a strong aluminium and PVC roof construction with supporting steel posts and is fitted with a 35mm thick polycarbonate which is vandal and shatter resistant. The low pitch roof of the Ullswater can span up
to 6m in width and any length. Other features include high UV protection and deep flow guttering. The school chose to have the canopy finished in blue, red, yellow and green to enhance its outdoor area.
The system offers an alternative to the basic wall mounted canopy
