The Eco Hub is a building and educational resource all rolled into one as it teaches children all about environmental and sustainability issues with all of its additional unique features. It can be used as an outdoor classroom or shelter, quiet area, den or simply a space to house our renewable energy products such as power-creating dynamo bikes or the wind turbine/solar panel with monitoring panel. Ideal for outdoor learning, forest schools, eco schools and for teaching children about environmental awareness and sustainability. It is also a lot of fun as the children can actively be involved in the Eco Hub!

“The outdoor classroom is fabulous – I am thrilled with it. Paul and Steve were fantastic – so professional and hard working – really paying attention to details and communicating well each day. They were punctual and tidy. A real credit to your company.
And the structure itself is just great. Cant wait for everyone to see it and start using it.
Peter who delivered all the wood and everything at the start was also fantastic – and really helped the lads unpacking and was a lovely cheery friendly face for 7:15 am on a Monday morning!”
