Lancaster school in Lincolnshire wanted to cover over their unusually shaped inner playground area to provide their nursery children with a sheltered play area. They needed to be able to see into the space created from a first floor window and they also wanted to make the whole area secure.
A before shot of the playground space CGI plan of the new construction The dry-run assembly of the canopy undertaken prior to powder coating the frame The canopy frame was installed in just two days The finished job from the outside And seen from the inside
The Twinfix design team came up with an elegant duo-pitched roof and produced a CAD/CAM drawing. This enabled the school staff and governors to see what their canopy would look like.
As part of the canopy manufacturing process, a dry run assembly is always carried out in the Twinfix factory prior to powder coating the frame. This helps to make sure that all parts fit together well, ensuring quick and speedy site installation. The theory behind this worked – the canopy was installed in only two days.
Three lockable roller shutter doors, mostly with perforated laths, were then fitted and the school staff were delighted with the final result.
