15 year guaranteeFirst and most importantly, all these products are made from 100% aluminium, so they will never rust. We are happy to provide a free 15-year guarantee. Covered Walkways are an ideal solution to link two buildings or simply to cover a stretch of pedestrian pathway. We have installed many Walkways for schools as well as hospitals and businesses all over the United Kingdom and have had very positive feedback.

To maximize protection from inclement weather, we can also enclose our walkways using glazing panels such as Toughened Safety Glass or Alupanel Skybond. Both materials are extremely hard-wearing and are very easy to maintain.

Here at Shelter Solutions, we specialize in bespoke designs. If the area you’re looking to cover is awkward or you’re looking for the walkway to wrap around a corner of a building for example, we can provide this. Our surveyors have many years of experience between them, so no job would be to daunting. Please take advantage of our free site survey we offer, and we’ll do our utmost best to offer you the perfect product.

Brief Buying Guide Description

Enclosed Covered Walkways

The enclosed covered walkways typically have their sides glazed with up to 6mm of toughened safety glass or about 4mm of clear petg polycarbonate. On the roof, the glazing can be solid tinted petg (polycarbonate) or a multiwall polycarbonate that reaches widths of up to 16mm.

It is important to note that the specifications might vary depending on individual requirements. These enclosed covered walkways are the ideal solution for protection against adverse weather conditions. Regardless of the choice of glazing, fitting these should be a breeze for the contractors owing to the simple design.

Wall-mounted canopies

Do you have awkward obscure areas between buildings or at the edge of buildings that you have always struggled to make use of? Do your visitors struggle with access to your premises when the weather gets adverse? Then this is the right product for you. The wall-mounted canopies are made of 100% aluminium, with the aim being to facilitate the use of those areas between buildings that were previously not being used.

The Wall-mounted canopies are useful because they use wall-mounting brackets rather than the typical leg structures. This means the entirety of the ground area is left open for use. They also help in making sure spaces remain dry in situations where the ground area is obscure.

Dome covered walkways

Like the wall-mounted canopies, the dome-covered walkways are made of 100% aluminium. They are also simple to maintain, making them ideal for schools, factories, and other heavy traffic locations. When cleaning, all one needs is a bucket of warm and soapy water. They are also practically wide, reaching widths of up to 4 meters.

This ease of maintenance and attractive appearance is what endears them to the naked eye. For visualization sake, the dome covered walkways are a hybrid between the wall-mounted canopies and the enclosed covered walkways. They help make use of spaces while also providing essential passageways between buildings.

Open-sided covered walkways

The open-sided covered walkways are suitable across a variety of locations. For instance, in buildings or schools, they are ideal as they keep the patients and children safe while moving between the main buildings or taking walks, especially when it rains or when the weather is extreme.

Since the specifications for these are exact and often specific to the location or context, they are bespoke and difficult to fit into a typical classic definition. These open-sided walkways are perfect for situations where budgets are constrained, yet the requirements are tight. One can very easily get a bespoke design.

Covered Walkways With Solar Panels Or Lighting?
