Playground canopies are the perfect solution to allow for outdoor play for early years, nurseries, primary schools, and academies across the UK. Many schools come to Miko Engineering with the same problem; their playground is a fantastic place until it’s heavily raining or too warm.
Playground canopies are structures designed to provide shade and protection from UV rays and heavy rain. Miko has a range of covered canopies for a school playground, covered play, or facilitating an outdoor learning space on the school playground.
Our range of school canopy and playground shelter options can be made to your specifications in a wide range of colours and finishes to ensure your play areas are a pleasant place for children and pupils to roam. For instance, if you want to find an outdoor shelter or canopy to brighten up those grey days, a rainbow playground shelter is the perfect option for you.

Outdoor classroom canopies
Playground canopies for schools also double up as outdoor classrooms. The fully enclosed canopies can include electrical points for bringing teaching outside and can be used all year round, whatever the weather.
These school outdoor canopies can also be used for outdoor activities such as sports, or simply for a more sheltered play area for the children to enjoy.
We recognise that no school is the same as another. All schools have different budgets and available space for playground canopies and other school playground shelters. By working closely with the school and other contractors, Miko Engineering can design a bespoke playground canopy that will blend in effortlessly with the school and maximise their outdoor space.
All of Miko Engineering’s canopies and playground shelters are designed bespoke and manufactured in the UK. This helps offer the maximum amount of personalisation, and the best installation solution.
What are the benefits of a school canopy?
- Additional seating capacity allows for easy circulation of air as well as a larger capacity for classes and playtime.
- Improves children’s and teachers’ well-being. It’s scientifically proven that fresh air and more time in an outdoor environment improve the quality of our mood.
- Our school canopies are hard-wearing and robust, they are not phased by the elements, offer UV protection, and can be placed nearly anywhere in the outdoor spaces at your school.
- Facilitating outdoor learning aids retention, attainment, and engagement for both nursery age and above.
- Playground canopies add an extra layer of safety by reducing the risk of falls and slips due to wet or slippery surfaces.
- Playground canopies can often be used as covered outdoor dining areas which is especially popular in the summer months..

Reviews
We purchased a number of bespoke external bicycle and buggy storage units from MIKO last year for use by residents of our blocks of flats. The units are clad in timber so blend into the surroundings and are very well used by our tenants as an alternative to storing items in communal stairwells. The company were extremely pleasant to work with, keeping me informed throughout the design and installation stage. I have no hesitation in recommending them as we had an excellent customer experience, we will certainly be using them again in the future if another project should arise. – Elaine Walters, Broadacres Housing
I heartily recommend Miko Shelter Solutions – they have been like Ronseal and done exactly what they said on the tin!
I am writing to thank you for the work that Miko Engineering recently carried out at Oakfield Junior School where you installed an Alnwick Cycle Shelter and Scooter Rack. I have visited the school and I am very pleased with the quality of the work. I would also like to thank you for agreeing to complete the work in time for the school’s ‘Bike It’ activity week. The shelter and rack are already being well used. – Martin Kelly, Transport Strategy, Gateshead Council
