Elite Canopies
Aluminium canopies with 99.9% UV protection give bright, sheltered play or seating areas.
Ideas
Shelters for schools, cafés and commercial sites
Schools, early-childhood centres and cafés need shelter that is tough, low-maintenance and usable all day. The same systems we install at homes scale up for larger covered areas.
What works best
Metal Pergola
A solid metal roof on a steel frame gives full shade and rain cover for outdoor learning spaces and walkways.
Deck
WPC composite decking is flame-retardant and has no timber splinters, which suits high-traffic areas.
Things to plan for
- Commercial and public buildings usually need building consent and may need engineering - plan time for it.
- Maintenance budgets: aluminium and composite surfaces need no painting or staining.
- Usage: plan for wet-weather use first - that is when covered space is in highest demand.
