Budgets are tight, and schools across the UK are increasingly looking for cost-effective ways to maximise outdoor sports facilities. Traditional Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs) often lack shelter, limiting their usability due to unpredictable weather.
That’s where MUGA-shade™ comes in—a new, revolutionary modular steel canopy solution designed to provide year-round coverage at a fraction of the cost of other market offerings.
What Makes MUGA-shade™ Different?
When compared to existing alternative solutions, MUGA-shade™ stands out in several key ways:
- Efficient Design: Utilising modular construction techniques from the industrial sector, MUGA-shade™ is engineered for durability while maintaining a sleek, modern look.
- Rapid Installation: Thanks to an efficient construction process, our canopies can be installed quickly with minimal disruption to school activities.
- Cost-Effective Solution: By reducing the number of support posts and optimising material use, we provide a high-quality structure at a lower price point.
The Benefits of MUGA-shade™ Canopies
1. All-Weather Protection
MUGA-shade™ keeps students dry in the rain and protected from harmful UV rays in the summer, allowing for uninterrupted outdoor activities year-round.
2. Multi-Purpose Use
While designed for sports such as football, basketball, netball, and tennis, MUGA-shade™ also serves as a sheltered area for school events, exams, outdoor classrooms, and PTA fundraisers.
3. Extended Play Hours
With optional integrated lighting, schools can extend playtimes into the evening, making the space more usable throughout the day and even on weekends.
4. Discourages Birds Nesting
Unlike some traditional canopies, MUGA-shade™'s design helps deter birds from nesting in the rafters, reducing maintenance issues and potential health hazards.
5. Customisable Features
- Clear-Span Design: Provides an unobstructed playing area with no central support posts.
- Optional Cladding: Adds extra weather protection for year-round use.
- Solar Panel Integration: Schools can cut energy costs while reducing their carbon footprint.
- Choice of Surfaces: From artificial turf to rubberised safety surfaces, MUGA-shade™ can be installed with your preferred sports flooring.
High Quality Materials for Long-Lasting Performance
MUGA-shade™ canopies are manufactured in Europe using premium cold-rolled steel, ensuring compliance with strict industry standards. The durable cladding materials provide additional strength, making the structure resilient against wear and tear.
Maximising School Investment with MUGA-shade
Beyond creating a superior sports facility, MUGA-shade™ helps schools generate extra revenue by hiring out the space to local sports clubs and community groups. Whether for after-school training sessions or weekend events, this multi-functional canopy quickly becomes a valuable asset to any educational institution.
