Wall Mounted Canopies
Our range of wall mounted canopies caters for all budgets; our cost conscious Coniston canopy has clean, simple design which suits all types of architecture and provides excellent cover. It is ideal for organisations that have a smaller budget. Whilst our Tarnhow range offers a luxury alternative, with aesthetically stunning glulam frames and polycarbonate or vibrant waterproof tensile fabric roofing, ideal for organisations looking to make a statement with their weather protection.
Solar Carports & Canopies
Generate free electricity and an additional income with a solar carport or a solar canopy! Solar carports enable you to provide shade from the sun and shelter from rain whilst collecting clean energy for your school or business. Solar carports are perfect for organisations that are unable to have solar panels installed on their roof due to the direction that the building faces, or if shading is a problem. We can position our solar canopies to ensure that you get the best from your solar panels.
Timber Canopies
Our Tarnhow Wooden Canopies create a modern yet natural look and feel to your environment whilst providing you with a safe, sheltered area. Each Tarnhow Canopy is constructed from Glulam timber which is sustainable, durable, fire resistant to BS 5268 and energy efficient to produce.
Tarnhow canopies are one of our most popular canopy products due to their attractive natural timber finish, and they particularly suited to green areas such as public parks, golfing clubs, public gardens and nature reserves. View our video below to see the full range and their features and benefits.

Smoking Shelters
Smoking shelters are a much needed outside structure due to the smoking ban which was implemented in July 2007. Although this smoking ban encouraged many to give up, there are still many people, including your customers, staff and visitors who still smoke and would really appreciate a dry, warm area to gain shelter when smoking on your grounds.
Our smoking shelters are constructed from high quality, commercial grade materials and the shelter has been designed to last for many, many years. To back this up we offer a 2 year guarantee with the Darcy Smoking Shelter and a 25 year life expectancy so you can be sure that you are investing in a high quality product.

Storage Shelters
When you are unloading items and pallets from a lorry or from one building to another, you may often find that you need to leave the items outside, exposing them to the weather before you can bring them inside.
A storage shelter provides a dry, sheltered place for you to leave those items before bringing them inside, whilst keeping them dry and sheltered. Some items can also be left under the shelter for longer periods of time depending on your security.
All of our shelters are high quality structures that are made from commercial materials and are designed with the rigorous settings of the commercial sector in mind.

Bus Shelters
Our range of bus shelters are high quality, robust structures that have been designed to withstand high levels of daily use.
When paired with seating, passengers can comfortably wait for a bus whilst keeping protected from the weather including the beaming hot sun and downpours of rain, keeping them dry and contented.
People are more likely to use a bus service rather than drive if it is convenient and the facilities are satisfactory for them. This can make the roads quitter and reduces emission in the air as less vehicles are on the roads.

About us
With more than 18 years’ experience in our field, Essex based Able Canopies are the canopy experts for architects & designers, construction, education, hospitality, leisure and retail applications among others.
Accredited to ISO9001, ISO14001 and OHSAS18001, our core products include canopies, umbrellas, shelters, awnings, shade sails and bicycle storage solutions, as well as a range of accessories including benches, picnic tables, litter bins, planters and bollards & barriers among others
We design, manufacture and install quality canopy, shelter and shade systems for schools and commercial organisations throughout the UK.
We are based in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex and began trading over 15 years ago. In that time we have completed hundreds of successful school canopy installations across the UK.
Our very first product was the Coniston Wall Mounted Canopy, a commercial grade aluminium and uPVC system which created cost effective and efficient weather cover. A range of free standing canopies and shelters followed, all based on the continuing ethos of quality and longevity.
These canopies provide schools with effective shelter and areas for outdoor learning and dining. We also work with universities and the retail, leisure & hospitality sectors to effectively transform outside space.
Our team of canopy experts work with customers, architects and contractors to ensure on time, on budget, project completion. To ensure consistent high quality we control the design, manufacture and installation process of our canopies.
We hold all the major quality and safety certifications including ISO, CHAS and Construction Line Gold.
We are committed to quality
This is not something that we just say. Our processes are geared up to deliver the highest standards. Our supply chain has achieved CE marketing meaning our canopies are safe and fit for purpose.
A big part of our continued success is our understanding of why schools, universities, retailers and leisure outlets want to be able to use outside space and what benefits it brings them.
The ability to use the outdoors for teaching, dining and other activities is crucial to schools. That is why we focus on the key issues of position, flow of people and expected use when we come to survey. That way we make sure schools get exactly what they need.
The same applies to commercial operations. If you want more covers at your restaurant then some canopies will work better than others. If you need a functional, yet stylish entrance canopy for your office building, shop or hotel then a thorough investigation of your requirements will make sure you get weather protection that does the right job.
