Cambridge Canopies installed a Milwood Group Simplicity 35 commercial canopy at a primary school in Suffolk, creating a large, sheltered space that delivers effective shade, and a flexible space for outdoor classes, quiet activities and safe storage. It also forms a weatherproof walkway, improving daily circulation between classrooms year-round.

Cambridge Canopies specialise in the survey and installation of aluminium canopies for education and public-sector sites across the East of England. Their team combines neat detailing with tidy, well-planned site work, and they specify Milwood Group systems to deliver long-lasting, low-maintenance results for schools and community settings.

The school needed a robust, low-maintenance canopy to transform a weather-exposed path into a multi-functional outdoor space. The chosen solution provides a safe, dry route between classrooms, a shaded zone during hot spells, and an adaptable space for lessons, small-group work and storing outdoor resources.

Simplicity 35 was selected for its heavy-duty aluminium frame, integrated guttering and 35mm multiwall polycarbonate that diffuses light, reduces glare and offers dependable weather protection, ideal for primary settings. The canopy was powder-coated in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey (Textured) for a smart, contemporary finish.

The Simplicity 35 has upgraded a previously underused strip of external space into a valuable school asset, extending teaching capacity and improving daily flow between classrooms while enhancing comfort and safeguarding in all seasons.
