An open environment for the children to play
is very important to maintain their overall growth. It is actually considered a
crucial part of their development. But with the exposure to the outside
environment, it is equally important to be safe and protected from the harmful
UV radiation.
These can be done building shelters and
canopies that would be effective and would look beautiful.

Outdoor spaces don’t only encourage playing and but helps the students to exchange ideas, views, etc about their daily routines. So, with that, both physical and mental capabilities of a child is developed and improved. But with outdoor playing comes the dangers of injuries.
