Updated: Friday the 25^th of May, 2012 Aquila Shelters Ltd

Here at Aquila Shelters, we have been supplying tents, modular canopies and shelters to businesses, events managers, schools and colleges, local councils, and individuals since 1986. No matter what surface you're intending to construct it on, our highly versatile modular shelters can be used in both rural and urban locations. Whether you're looking to buy a canopy for permanent use or hire a temporary shelter, Aquila has it covered. We'll work with you to ensure your specifications are met safely and cost-effectively.

The Aquila canopy system was engineered to our specification by Buro Happold, a world leading engineering company that have been involved in work on the Millennium Dome, the Olympic Stadium and the Sydney Opera House. Our permanent and temporary modular canopies have been used to cover waiting areas, outdoor and indoor exhibition and demonstration stands, performance stages, visitor centres, meeting and function rooms, bars and dining areas, pop-up shops and market stalls, and sports transition zones. They are even used as school playground shelters!

So if you're looking for a permanent installation to make the most of unused space, or a modular, easily erected temporary canopy to help maximise business opportunities, get in touch with Aquila today! We employ highly experienced teams of manufacturing and installation professionals who are dedicated to providing safe, strong and durable canopies. As well as being practical and cost effective, our stylish canopies offer a positive statement about your organisation or event.  

Aquila also works with Fuchsia Exhibition Services to help our customers with event management, stand design and production, and flagpole, barrier and walkway hire. We even provide a customer survey service which offers valuable insights into what your customers think of your event or exhibition.

Outdoor Canopies for Schools

The patented Aquila canopy system is ideal as a shelter for school playgrounds. Frames are manufactured from strong, durable, 6061 structural aluminium which can be powder coated and covered with protective padding around the column supports. This makes our structures a safe area in which children can play. In fact, our canopies are so strong and reliable that they have been known to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions. The canopy membrane is manufactured from waterproof, flameproof and UV resistant reinforced PVC, meaning school children are protected from all the elements.

Exhibitions and Shows

Our marquees are the ideal solution for when you need covered space to host exhibitions and shows. You can choose from a range of sizes and colours, while our manufacturing facilities enable custom printing with your logos and branding. The modular nature of our canopies means there are an infinite number of ways that they can be installed. They can even accommodate natural features such as trees, streams, slopes and rock outcrops. We can fit your canopies with several grades of flooring and carpeting, lighting, and other event necessities. Windows, doors, archways and flagpoles can also be installed. Just give us a call to find out more!

Street Markets

Our shelters are in use throughout the country as pop-up shops and market stall canopies. We'll print your company logos and branding on our high quality canopies to convey a great company image. Effortlessly erected and easily transported, these versatile shelters can be set up indoors or outdoors. Because they are built to withstand the toughest conditions, the Aquila canopy systems offer excellent coverage for market stalls. If you would like to find out more about our canopies and their uses, please visit the Aquila website.

Just tell us the typical number of people to be covered and we'll come up with a bespoke solution. Aquila canopies are freestanding and designed for year round use on any surface. A range of sizes and colours are available for you to choose from.
