Our range includes entrance canopies, covered walkways, playground shelters, dining/social canopies & MUGA, EV charging shelters, loading bay canopies, waiting shelters and spectator canopies.
Are Your Canopies Bespoke?
Yes, every Clovis canopy is made to measure and designed around the operational requirements, dimensions and aesthetic preferences of the environment it serves. We do not rely on one-size-fits-all solution.
Will I Require Planning Permission?
Planning permission requirements vary depending on the size, location and intended use of the structure. We recommend contacting your local planning authority for guidance. Our team can provide drawings and technical information, and we work with a trusted third-party provider to support the planning application process.
Are Clovis Canopies Suitable for Year-Round Use?
Yes, our canopies are designed for permanent year-round outdoor use and engineered to withstand changing weather conditions including rain, wind and prolonged sun exposure. Waterproof cladding systems also help ensure the covered space remains functional during wet weather.
What Materials Do We Use
We manufacture our canopy systems using carefully selected materials, including steel structural frameworks, aluminium components and polycarbonate/PVC fabric or glass cladding, dependent on project requirements. Each material is selected to ensure durability, performance and ease of long-term maintenance.
How Durable Are Our Canopy Systems?
Our structures are engineered for demanding outdoor environments and designed for long-term structural performance. Clovis canopies are supported by a framework guarantee of up to 25 years alongside a structural design life of up to 50 years.
Are Our Canopies Low Maintenance?
Yes, our canopies are designed to remain durable and visually effective with minimal ongoing maintenance requirements. Carefully selected materials and robust construction methods help support long-term performance.
Can Our Canopies Be Colour Matched?
Yes, frameworks can be polyester powder coated in a wide range of RAL classic colours, allowing structures to integrate with their surrounding buildings, branding or existing site aesthetics.
How Long Does Installation Take?
Installation times vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. All projects are carefully planned to minimise disruption to day-to-day site operations.
Do You Install Canopies Across the UK?
Yes, Clovis supplies, delivers and installs canopy systems across the UK from our base in the South East, supported by a network of experienced installation teams.
Can We View Previous Projects Before Making a Decision?
Yes, we are proud of our previous installations and you may be able to arrange visits to existing project (subject to client approval), so you can see the quality of our canopy systems firsthand.
What Happens After Installation?
We continue to provide aftercare support following project completion and aim to deal with any customer concerns quickly and efficiently should they arise.
