Large School Parasols

Shade Zone’s range of large all-weather parasol units are available with multiple base options & fabrics.

Large School Parasols are a smart, flexible solution for school playgrounds. They can deliver instant shade in key locations like seating, sandpits, and reading areas, making outdoor areas easier and more accessible throughout the day.

Parasols can be reconfigured or grouped, as opposed to fixed installations, to accommodate changing needs. They're also a budget-friendly solution to fixed canopies, yet still provide effective UV protection to protect students from prolonged exposure outside for playtimes, lunch breaks, or outdoor lessons. Parasols come in a variety of colours, allowing them to be coordinated with school branding or adding a pop of colour to the yard to make it more inviting and practical for students and staff.

Our Parasols for Schools come in a range of different colours and finishes, designed to complement any educational environment.

For primary schools and nurseries, we offer large outdoor parasols with vibrant, multi-coloured canopy designs featuring cheerful rainbow segments.

These eye-catching parasols not only provide essential shade but also add a playful and lively atmosphere, brightening up playgrounds and outdoor learning spaces.

Built with durability and safety in mind, our parasols are crafted from high-quality materials that withstand various weather conditions, including strong winds and rain. They are easy to operate, allowing staff to quickly open or close them as needed, making them a practical solution for dynamic outdoor settings.

Additionally: We offer customisation options to match your school's colours or branding, giving your outdoor spaces a cohesive and professional look. Whether you’re looking to enhance an outdoor dining area, provide shelter for parents and staff, or add shaded spots in playgrounds, our parasols deliver both functionality and visual appeal.
