Rectangular Canopies

Our range of timber canopies can come in a variety of sizes to suit your schools individual needs. We have built them between classrooms to create a dry walkway or attached them to an early years classroom to extend the useable space into the playground.

Our canopies come with premium polycarbonate sheets that filter out 98% of harmful UV rays. The polycarbonate sheets can come in either opal or a wide range of colours to provide colourful and safe shade in your playground.

Outdoor Classrooms

Our range of timber Hexagonal and Octagonal Outdoor Classrooms provide the perfect opportunity for socialising and learning outdoors. They come in a variety of sizes and can be designed to your specific needs with additional seating, flooring and side panels.

Outdoor Classrooms create a dedicated space for learning outdoors and a change to the traditional indoor setting. They can also provide shelter during inclement weather for parents, staff and pupils.

Shade Sails

Shade Sails are a popular addition to many playgrounds providing shade and UV protection. They are lightweight, constructed from heavy-duty HDPE shade fabric and have been specifically designed to meet a wide range of weather conditions.

They come in two options; permanent or detachable.

Permanent Shade Sails are constructed with heavy duty galvanised steel posts and are designed to withstand 300mm of snowfall and British weather conditions. Unlike Detachable Shade Sails they do not need to be removed in inclement weather.

Detachable Sail Shades are constructed with timber posts and are designed to survive moderate wind and weather conditions of the British summer. They will need to be removed in high winds or heavy snowfall.

the dbdplay experience

At dbdplay, we design bespoke playgrounds according to the space and the exact needs and wants of your school. The only limit is your imagination!

Because safety and durability are a top priority, all our play equipment is built from FSC approved timber, treated to stay solid through wet, cold, and frequent use for many years to come.

All expert installations are carried out by either our own team or trusted, regular contractors.

The children now love rolling down the hill.

It’s completely transformed the space.

We have had no flooding problems since the grass has been installed, even with the big storm.

Trowbridge

The team at dbdplay did a fantastic job transforming our play area at the heart of the school. They managed a complicated build during term time and we are grateful for the finished product.

The only issue we have now is getting the children and families to leave at the end of the day :)

May Park Primary School

Bristol

We are really happy with the work that has been carried out, it looks great and I know the children will enjoy it.

The team were fantastic, extremely professional on a school site and I found their H&S and Safeguarding to be of the highest standard.

Many thanks to them.
