New Horizons Children’s Academy – Walkway Canopy
This ‘challenging’ Ascot Cantilever walkway canopy was procured by New Horizons to provide cover for pupils and staff between two buildings. Incorporating an entrance canopy at one end of the walkway, this project was ‘challenging’ because as well as the walkway having two changes of direction, there was also a change in level from one end to the other of approximately 1.5m to contend with.
The new walkway canopy measures approx 2.5m wide x 36m long and is clad with opal multiwall polycarbonate laid into glazing bars; the entrance canopy measures 4.5m wide x 2.7m deep. The framework and RWGs were polyester powder coated to the required RAL colour.
We were lucky to have the sun shining whilst taking some photos, this new Ascot Cantilever looks wonderful!
