Bespoke expertise for your spaces.

The school canopy is a central feature of school life. Much more than a simple shelter from showers, it is a genuine space for interaction, transition and conviviality for pupils during break times, at lunchtime or while waiting for school transport.

Since 2004, Normandie Structures has worked with municipalities, départements and childcare and educational establishments (crèches, nursery, primary, lower and upper secondary schools) to design bespoke structures. Our tensile architecture school canopies offer airy, modern lines that blend elegantly into playgrounds.

The safety of our installations is our absolute priority. All our school canopies are calculated and fabricated to withstand wind and snow, with calculation notes based on the NV 65 rules (French snow and wind rules), strictly comply with French public-access building (ERP) regulations and include post protection solutions for children’s safety.

Designed around your use.

Certified school safety

Designed with no sharp edges at ground level and in line with ERP requirements. Stability proven by calculations from our in-house engineering office.

Maximum UV protection

The PVC membrane filters the sun’s UV rays, providing a cool, safe shaded area in summer.

Natural light

The fabric lets natural daylight through, so the playground and surrounding classrooms are not darkened.
