Eco Outdoor Classrooms are both a functional and educational building all rolled into one. Eco outdoor classrooms offer shade and shelter at playtime but it can also be used as an outdoor teaching area. Children are able to relax and learn in a shaded environment within the school grounds whilst at the same time learning about the core principles of the Eco Schools programme including the creation of clean energy, water harvesting, biodiversity, planting, recycling and healthy living.

If you or we can get a company to sponsor or contribute financially towards your eco classroom, then we can print their logo on the canvas as well. See below in Additional Images
The above item cost is based on good site access and a suitable flat and cleared base to install feature onto. We can quote separately for additional base work as a separate cost if so required.
“I can only praise the work your company have done and I am still working on getting another grant from the local Windfarm to finance the provision of your Wind turbine/ solar panel, energy source to provide power to the eco outdoor classrooms. I have worked with a number of companies in the last few years, some I have used again. Others, I would be wary about using and some I wouldn’t touch with a bargepole. Your guys just came and got on with the job. There were some minor issues with how to make things work, but they just talked with me and we sorted a solution. They were always polite and respectful. Whether or not we acquire any commission, I can only recommend your company and the service we received”.
