Kensington Systems delivered a bespoke bright red aluminium [canopy](https://kensingtonsystems.co.uk/spaceshade), tailored to match the club’s iconic colours and designed to enhance fan experience and drive engagement. ![Exeter City Fan Zone Canopy 9](https://26880358.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/26880358/hubfs/Website%20Imagery/Spaceshade/Exeter%20City%20Fan%20Zone%20Canopy%209.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=Exeter%20City%20Fan%20Zone%20Canopy%209.jpg) Click the arrows to view more images ![Exeter City Fan Zone Canopy 1](https://26880358.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/26880358/hubfs/Website%20Imagery/Spaceshade/Exeter%20City%20Fan%20Zone%20Canopy%201.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=Exeter%20City%20Fan%20Zone%20Canopy%201.jpg) ![Exeter City Fan Zone Canopy 5](https://26880358.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/26880358/hubfs/Website%20Imagery/Spaceshade/Exeter%20City%20Fan%20Zone%20Canopy%205.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=Exeter%20City%20Fan%20Zone%20Canopy%205.jpg) ## Project Features Robust and long-lasting, our[ Spaceshade canopy solution](https://kensingtonsystems.co.uk/spaceshade/leisure) provided the club with a perfect year-round outdoor space for fans to use. At the request of the club, we built in several features to enhance usability and comfort, including: - **LED Lighting** - integrated into the rafters, LED lighting strips provide ambient lighting for evening and winter use. - **Infrared heaters** - to ensure comfort in winter months. - **Built-in tables** - we added small wooden tables wrapped around the central posts, providing an ideal space for fans to put their drinks - **Concealed Gutters & Drainage** - for a sleek, modern finish and effective water management. ## What difference has the Fan Zone Canopy made? The new fan zone has transformed a previously underused area into a lively, functional space. Year-round weather protection encourages fans to arrive earlier and stay longer to enjoy the matchday atmosphere, while demonstrating Exeter City's commitment to improving fan experience. ![Exeter City Fan Zone Canopy 2](https://26880358.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/26880358/hubfs/Website%20Imagery/Spaceshade/Exeter%20City%20Fan%20Zone%20Canopy%202.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=Exeter%20City%20Fan%20Zone%20Canopy%202.jpg) Click the arrows to see more images ![Exeter City Fan Zone Canopy 8](https://26880358.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/26880358/hubfs/Website%20Imagery/Spaceshade/Exeter%20City%20Fan%20Zone%20Canopy%208.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=Exeter%20City%20Fan%20Zone%20Canopy%208.jpg) Click the arrows to see more images ![Exeter City Fan Zone Canopy 3](https://26880358.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/26880358/hubfs/Website%20Imagery/Spaceshade/Exeter%20City%20Fan%20Zone%20Canopy%203.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=Exeter%20City%20Fan%20Zone%20Canopy%203.jpg) This boosts both bar revenue and fan engagement, a win-win for the club. Studies show that higher supporter engagement can significantly enhance a club's long term success, both financially and by fostering a strong sense of community. A strong fan base also helps to boost the club's brand and visibility, enabling Exeter City FC's support base to grow.  ## A Seamless Installation Kensington Systems managed the entire project from concept to completion, including design and visualisation, groundworks, canopy, table and electrical installation to final clean up. Exeter City FC’s investment is more than just a practical improvement – it’s a statement of appreciation for their loyal supporters. By enhancing the fan experience, the club is fostering deeper connections with its community while also generating long-term commercial benefits.
