SHELTERS & PERGOLAS The provision of outdoor teaching units has become significant as schools aim to provide safe areas for children in the summer months. In addition to outdoor teaching units we offer pergolas and covered walkways between classroom areas. Shelters are covered units mostly used for outdoor teaching and dining, and offer shelter from the elements. Pergolas are open units that are mostly decorative and can be used to screen off certain areas, or added for plants to be grown up and create a more sheltered social area. Parent waiting shelters and buggy parks are also needed in some schools to give parents a place to meet and wait away from the elements before picking up their children, and we have a range of these available too. Our shelters and pergolas can be made from timber, steel, or using Tensile fabric components. We also have a range of solar shades to protect buildings and classrooms from the sun’s glare. All the designs have been subject to wind and snow calculation analysis to BS 6399 and are fit for purpose. Sheldon has a comprehensive range of outdoor teaching facilities including solar shading, pergolas and covered walkways. Because it is a modular system it is extremely flexible and enables us to provide bespoke structures at a low cost. In the Malford range, where steel is the material of choice, we have produced a number of bespoke structures including entrance canopies and viewing shelters. As full calculations have been produced for these items, they are now available as standard products. 15
