Canopies & Sail Shades
Our Canopies & Sail Shades are a perfect solution for anyone looking for playground shelter.
About this installation
To keep children engaged in active outdoor play, we provide excellent canopies & sail shades options that can be used during breaks. There are a diverse collection of canopies & shelters in the Creative Play range, ranging from multi-coloured canopies consisting simply of poles and roof to sailcloth with extra reinforced webbing and interlocked double-stitched seams.
Our range of shelters is expertly designed to protect children against weather elements, as they take breaks or engage in particular games such as imaginative or sensory play. It does depend on your design tastes, educational needs and available budget as to which option would work best for you, but we’d be happy to discuss the right choice for your educational setting.
What are the benefits of having canopies & sail shades?
As we put together our outdoor play equipment, we are always focused on the benefits they can offer to young people. We at sportsafe passionately believe that the ability to learn in an outdoor environment offers a brilliant change of pace for many children in comparison to indoor classroom learning.
Additionally, these areas offer a great protection from sudden bursts of adverse weather conditions in a playground, allowing the children to shelter for a while rather than all having to go inside. Contact us and we’ll tell you how we can provide these excellent shelter options for your playground.

What our customers say
-
Sportsafe brings along a full set of supplies to action small repairs there and then and provides quotes for any larger items in need of attention. Our visiting Engineer, also took the time to liaise with our maintenance staff and provide feedback and tips on how best to maintain our equipment in the future. I would recommend Sportsafe to any International School who would like to ensure their sporting equipment and facilities, both indoor and outdoor, are safe and fit for purpose.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you once again for accommodating us with the re-attendance of an engineer. Aaron was very helpful, providing advice and support – something I greatly appreciated, especially as I am new to the role. Therefore, could I kindly request that while I am the Site Manager at Boston High School and where Aaron’s availability allows, he be our preferred engineer to attend moving forward? He is a credit to the company and a thoroughly decent chap.

Please can you express my gratitude to Wayne. He is like a walking encyclopaedia when it comes to health and safety and I really appreciate all of this advice in order to keep our school safe for the children.

I wanted to relay how happy myself and the school is with our inspection from Wayne. He has been doing our inspections for some time now. His level of experience and his advice over the years is commendable. He really takes pride in his job and treats my school like his own. A massive credit to Sportsafe and a really nice guy to have around the school.

The Report on the equipment we have received from yourselves is perfect and exactly what we required to let the College see that the work has been done. Also your Quote for repairs being with the report allows myself to pass it on to those who give the okay for these sort of repairs. Once again I congratulate all who made this an enjoyable experience compared with what I have dealt with previously.
