Kent Umbrella Canopy

A fresh addition to our large range of canopies and shelters, we are pleased to introduce the Kent Umbrella. Contemporary and stylish the Kent Umbrella can be used to further improve any outdoor social area, naturally drawing in individuals to shelter from the rain when it’s pouring, or shade from the the sun when it’s shining.

The structure is clad with multiwall polycarbonate and can be powder coated in any standard BS or RAL Classic colour to subtly enhance the environment in which it will sit. Utilising one central column to support the tough and robust structure, the Kent Umbrella range can be configured in a variety of sizes and shapes, such as an octagon, hexagon, rectangle or square to complement the space in which it will be employed. Why not combine two Umbrellas to form a figure of eight? Whatever you specify, the Kent Umbrella will be a great finishing touch to any project it’s chosen for.

We have used Clovis Canopies on a range of projects for a variety of clients and always found them to be competitive , responsive and safe . Coupled with a “can do “ approach from design to fitting , this makes Clovis our first call when we require a canopy or shelter .

A. Larn,

I am writing on behalf of the staff, pupils and governors to thank you for the excellent canopy erected by your company during the school summer holidays. The canopy is a tremendous asset to the school in providing a superb all weather activity area for our reception pupils. The assistance of yourself and your colleagues at Clovis has been greatly appreciated and has resulted in a structure which has truly enhanced our school. Our thanks must also go to your site erection team who undertook their work in a prompt, polite and professional manner. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Clovis Canopies to any other school or educational establishment who are considering undertaking a similar project.

J Lees, Headteacher, Langton Green Primary

The workmen have been fantastic – they have taken our needs into consideration at all times – been very approachable and hard working. My thanks to them. I am happy to recommend your canopies and workmanship to my colleagues and your prospective clients.

In relation to our canopies Building Regulations specify the standard to which they should be built i.e. strength, fire rating of materials etc. Again it is advisable to contact your local Building Control officer(s), as a rule of thumb any canopy over 30m2 will require conformity to building regulations and an application will need to be made although this figure can be lower. Most of our structures are supplied conforming to the requirements for these regulations as standard and generic sets of structural calculations can be supplied free of charge to demonstrate to Building Control the integrity of the proposed structure and foundations.

What colour can the framework be?

Each canopy framework is supplied in the colour of choice from the standard RAL range. A match for most school colour schemes can be found with that range if required.
