Intro
Canopies have a wide range of possible application from outdoor teaching areas, expanded dining rooms, or even as a covered walkway between two points of interest.
With outdoor canopies being so versatile, a canopy originally purchased for one purpose can easily be adapted for another with minimal effort.
Take the 100 Series Wave Roof Canopy for example, popularly purchased with post protectors for use as an outdoor play area, the soft foam post protectors serve to protect and care-free individuals & their heads from an abrupt meeting with a mild steel support post!

Of course, the impact resistant soft foam layer also offers an immaculate level of protection to the post & its paintwork, endowing the canopy with the best of both worlds.
However a prospective buyer may instead choose to enclose the canopy with a set of side walls. This design choice opens a whole host of applications depending on whether the surrounding site is a school, building of worship, or sports facility. We are able to offer a range of canopy solutions to help create a secondary classroom, a dedicated prayer room, or perhaps a simple covered walkway from the entrance of the grounds to the front door of the building.
From prayer rooms, activity areas, creating a dry outdoor space, secondary classrooms & sensory rooms for the differently abled, there are so many uses for an outdoor canopy.

Religious applications
As we briefly touched on earlier in the article, canopies & covered walkways have a wide range of applications that make them suitable for any number of sites and professions. Today we will look at how a religious organisation, place of worship, or monastic school can benefit from the acquisition of a canopy.
One of the most obvious use-cases for an outdoor canopy at a place of worship is as an entrance canopy. The implementation of a sleek & modern entrance canopy at your church, synagogue, or mosque will give the building a professional face-lift, showing new visitors & regulars alike that you and your congregation value quality & fantastic design.
A place of worship that is considering adding additional activities to their regular service would greatly benefit from the purchase of an outdoor covered walkway. Installing a canopy at your site would open up the possibility to provide anything from a nice place to escape the rain whilst getting some fresh air or waiting for service to start, to a covered walkway from the entrance of the grounds up to the front door of the building, a smoking or snacking area, the possibilities are endless!
Sites with a graveyard can offer vehicle width coverage along the graveyards’ pathways for easy visiting, keeping bereaved mourners protected from the worst of the weather whilst they pay their respects.
Due to their versatile nature, an outdoor canopy can be used as a simple waiting/congregation area until the need arises where the unit may be used as an ad-hoc teaching area, a prayer room, or even as an isolation room to help students deal with their tougher days.
