Terra College in Meppel required a solution to ensure that students could comfortably spend time outside in all weather conditions. From the summer heat to rainy winter days, a sheltered space was essential. The school aimed to have a durable, aesthetically pleasing canopy for year-round use. The objective was to create a functional feature that would also improve the outdoor space and provide a welcoming spot for students.

Our team addressed this challenge by delivering the Explore 10, a standard canopy from our range. This project was fully designed and manufactured in-house, allowing us complete control over the quality and end result. By employing JLD’s innovative and simple tension anchors, we successfully installed a secure and robust anchoring system during the summer holidays, avoiding any disruption to school activities. The canopy was specifically designed to offer optimal comfort and protection against sun and rain.

Upon completion, Taco van Leeuwen, department head at Terra Meppel VO, shared his positive feedback: "They provided us with a large canopy, the Polyned Explore 10. It’s a fantastic addition to our great outdoor area. We’ve already enjoyed it for graduation, the new school year, and a staff event with food trucks. The student council wanted a nice outdoor space even in the rain, and that’s now definitely possible. The canopy adds a cozy and festive atmosphere and could even be upgraded with lighting and speakers."

These comments highlight not only the canopy's functionality but also its significant impact on school life. The Explore 10 has created a space where Terra College students and staff can enjoy the outdoors throughout the year, regardless of the weather. This project reflects our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction while enhancing educational environments.
