SCHOOLS & EDUCATION

Engineered shelter for better school spaces.

Schools need outdoor spaces that are practical, durable and built for everyday use.

​

SolarShield provides engineered canopy systems for schools and education facilities — creating covered spaces for learning, movement, recreation, gathering and connection.

 

Our systems combine standardised components with flexible configurations, making it easier to deliver the right solution for each site without designing a completely bespoke structure every time.

 

Engineered for NZ conditions. Designed for straightforward installation. Built for long-term use.

DESIGNED FOR SCHOOL PROJECTS

SolarShield takes a practical, engineered approach to school canopies, aligning with the Ministry of Education’s focus on standardisation, modularity, consistency, value and ease of maintenance.

 

Rather than treating every canopy as a one-off fabrication project, our defined systems can be configured to suit the site, the space and how it will be used — with the right roofing, structure and layout for each project. From outdoor learning areas and covered walkways to recreation and gathering spaces, SolarShield provides a straightforward path from specification through to installation.

​

  • Standardised — Defined systems and components create consistency across projects.

  • Configurable — Span, length, height, roofing and layout can be adapted to suit the site.

  • Engineered — Structural solutions are developed around the requirements of the project, with PS1 engineering available where required.

  • Practical — Designed with installation, maintenance and everyday school use in mind.

  • Durable — Robust galvanised steel construction with polycarbonate, Webglas and Coloursteel roofing options.

  • Easy to specify — A clear product range gives architects, builders and installers a defined solution rather than starting from scratch.

  • Built for delivery — SolarShield supplies the system, with installation completed by the project’s builder or installation contractor.
