Canopy Post Protectors

We have supplied high quality canopy post protectors for canopies and playground shelters for over 15 years. Children will naturally run, jump, and play near these posts and the padded canopy post protectors act as a cushioned barrier, absorbing the impact and reducing the potential for injury.

All of our post padding is made to order in the UK to fit your canopy post sizes. You don't  pay a premium for this, our prices are still very low and the padding will fit your posts perfectly. This correct fit makes the padding stay securely in place without movement making it much more durable than ill-fitted off the shelf items. We check market prices regularly and believe we offer the best prices you will find for the highest quality pads. If you find high quality pads at a better price, please let us know, we understand that budgets are tight and will do our best to help. We love speaking to our customers, and work closely with schools and nurseries helping them to create safe play areas for their pupils.

Here are some examples of prices for popular canopy leg padding sizes. We can however, make them to virtually any size for costs that aren't inflated.

Canopy post pads are perfect for round, square or rectangular posts and generally fix easily with industrial strength Velcro. Canopy posts often have rainwater downpipes on some of them and our rectangular pads are the ideal solution. We also offer ‘U’ shaped pads if a wall or fence prevents a full wrap around solution which can be attached using self-adhesive Velcro, eyelets or Velcro straps depending upon the position of the posts and the surfaces involved. Please look at our measuring guide page for guidenace.

Why do I need canopy post protectors?

Canopy areas are typically used by younger children for outdoor learning or at play, and the legs or columns that are used to support the structures can get in the way and can prove to be hazards. Our padded canopy leg covers help give everyone peace of mind that they can go about their business without worrying about impact.

Our durable canopy leg padding for schools, nurseries, playgroups and creches offer a simple solution for round, square or rectangular posts. Easily fixed with strong Velcro, they are solution that won’t break the bank. Educational organisations have a wide range of priorities to balance with limited budgets. Schools and nurseries need to be a safe place as well as an excellent learning environment. Protecting pupils from exposed posts, columns and pillars doesn’t have to be expensive but that investment does need to last for years to come. Correct fitting pads can give the protection you need, and will suffer less from wear and tear, staying firmly in place. We are very experienced in offering expert help and advice to get the solution you need at the best price.

We can provide safety padding solutions for almost all obstacles. From floodlights to basketball posts, from fences to beams. If your canopy posts have rainwater downpipes on them, our rectangular pads are the ideal solution. We offer ‘U’ shaped pads if a wall or fence prevents a full wrap around solution. We also provide ‘L’ shaped pads for exposed corners. These can be attached in a variety of ways including self-adhesive Velcro, eyelets or Velcro straps depending upon the position of the posts and the surfaces involved. Just get in touch we will always try and find a bespoke solution for whatever your hazard may be! We are rarely stumped!
