Our journey, your adventure
Welcome to Forest School Canopys! We believe that outdoor learning should be accessible and inspiring. Our journey began with a passion for building and a commitment to providing high-quality, affordable outdoor solutions for schools and learning environments across the UK. Discover how our dedication to craftsmanship and community is shaping the future of forest school education.
Born from experience, built with passion
After 16 years building robust polytunnels and canopies across the UK, Ireland, and France, our founder stepped back from the trade, taking to the roads as an HGV driver. The spark reignited when asked to build a forest school shelter for a local school, frustrated by the exorbitant costs and flimsy options available. This challenge brought back the love for the craft, leading to the creation of the sturdy, well-designed structures you see today.
Quality crafted, uniquely yours
What sets Forest School Canopys apart? It's our unwavering commitment to quality. Every canopy, bench, and outdoor learning tool is hand-built using only the best materials, ensuring durability and safety for years of use. We pride ourselves on creating solutions that are not only practical but also stand the test of time, far surpassing the often overpriced and underperforming alternatives on the market.
Beyond canopies: creative learning tools
Inspired by the success of our canopies, we've expanded our offerings to include a range of unique forest school items. From custom laser-engraved signs to durable wooden tools and practical wellington holders, many more items are in the pipeline. We understand school budgets are tight, so we pledge 'no school premium tax,' ensuring our high-quality products remain affordable.
