Awnings for Schools and the South Yorkshire climate
Steep gardens and Peak-District edge weather make roof strength and drainage the real specification questions. Around the Peak District boundary and the S streets nearby, that shows up as stone-built terraces climbing Nether Edge and Crookes — and our school awning specification adjusts to suit.
