Simplicity 16 Walkway Canopy Installed by Roofit Ireland at a Hospital Entrance Featuring our Goal Post

Milwood Group’s Simplicity 16 Walkway System has been expertly installed by Roofit Ireland at a hospital entrance in County Kildare. This modern aluminium walkway provides reliable year-round weather protection for patients, visitors and staff, while complementing the hospital’s contemporary exterior.

Project Overview: Creating a Weather-Protected Entrance

This bespoke installation required a robust and visually consistent system spanning approximately 15 metres in length with a 2.5-metre projection. The Simplicity 16’s proven design and load performance made it the ideal solution for a busy healthcare setting.

Due to the irregular shape of the hospital building, certain walkway sections could not be wall mounted. Roofit Ireland utilised Milwood’s Aluminium Goal Post Upgrade, allowing the structure to stand completely freestanding while maintaining a uniform roofline. The finished result provides a safe, sheltered passage between entrances without compromising on appearance or performance.

Why the Simplicity 16 System Is Ideal for Commercial Walkway Projects

The Simplicity 16 Veranda and Walkway System is one of Milwood Group’s most versatile aluminium canopy designs. Built with 16mm polycarbonate roof panels and a precision-engineered aluminium frame, it combines strength, practicality and modern styling, making it ideal for hospitals, schools, retail spaces and public buildings.

Aluminium Walkways for Hospitals, Schools, and Public Buildings

Milwood’s aluminium walkway systems provide versatile solutions for creating sheltered access across commercial and public spaces. The Simplicity 16 Walkway used in this hospital project demonstrates how our modular systems can adapt to complex site layouts while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.

These walkway systems are designed to offer long-term protection from the elements while allowing natural light to filter through the roof panels, ensuring bright and welcoming access routes.

Typical Applications Include:

  • Hospital and healthcare entrances
  • School and college pathways
  • Covered access between commercial buildings
  • Retail and hospitality entrances
  • Public sector facilities and office complexes

The Goal Post Upgrade: Supporting Freestanding and Extended Canopy Designs

Benefits of the Goal Post Upgrade:

  • Enables freestanding installations where a wall attachment is not possible
  • Ideal for irregular or offset building layouts
  • Provides additional stability for extended wall-mounted canopies
  • Ensures a consistent roof height and projection across the full structure
  • Compatible with all Milwood systems including Simplicity 6, 16, 35, Xtra and Xtra PLUS

For this project, the goal post structure allowed Roofit Ireland to deliver a seamless installation that blends perfectly with the hospital’s architecture while meeting all structural and functional requirements.
