Our entire Connekt canopy range is now registered with Made in Britain. We’re very proud to carry the marque, which recognises what we’ve been doing for more than 35 years: designing and manufacturing Connekt here in Lancashire.

For schools, it’s a clear sign of where their canopy comes from. It also means they work directly with the people making it. We visit the school, talk through how the space will be used and survey the site before designing and manufacturing the canopy at our facility in Darwen.

Our directly employed installers then complete the work on site, so responsibility for the finished structure stays with Canopies UK. It’s the same approach we take across covered walkways, outdoor classrooms, dining areas, entrance canopies and playground shelters.

Every Connekt canopy is made for its site, with measurements and structural requirements carefully worked out and site-specific calculations included as standard. Connekt comes with a 10-year product guarantee, and work completed by our team also carries a 10-year installation and labour guarantee.

The result is useful outdoor space that schools can rely on for years to come. If there’s an area at your school you’d like to use more often, [explore the Connekt range](https://www.canopiesuk.co.uk/systems/connekt/) or [arrange a free site survey](https://www.canopiesuk.co.uk/request-a-survey/).
