Northampton Saints / Stadium protectionNo two spaces.
The same solution.
Some environments require protection around unusual structures, exposed surfaces or specialist sporting equipment. Our bespoke padding is developed around the actual dimensions, usage and operational requirements of each project.
With in-house design and UK manufacturing expertise, Stuart Canvas can create durable, tailored solutions that balance impact protection, a professional finish and practical day-to-day use.
Proof in
the projects.
Three very different sporting environments. Three bespoke approaches to protecting the people who use them.
01 / Northampton SaintsSafety and sponsorship.
One considered solution.
At the DPD Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens, Northampton Saints needed to improve protection around the tryline while retaining valuable sponsor visibility. Stuart Canvas developed bespoke padding with interchangeable branded panels, allowing the club to update commercial messaging for different competitions.
The completed tryline system received PREM Rugby approval, combining player protection, professional presentation and flexibility for the club’s commercial partners.

02 / Elite football training facilityEvery surface.
Considered.
A professional football club needed a coordinated system of protection around its first-team training facility. From wall panels and steel columns to exposed corners and electrical equipment, each component was manufactured to suit its individual location.

A purpose-built answer.
Working with Smiths Sports Civils Ltd, Stuart Canvas supplied a bespoke crash-mat system for a specialist jumping wall at Christ’s Hospital School. The non-standard installation called for precise sizing and cushioning suited to repeated use in a school sports environment.

know.
Can you manufacture padding to bespoke dimensions?
Yes. Bespoke padding can be developed around the dimensions and shape of the area requiring protection. Share photographs, measurements or drawings with our team to discuss your project.
What types of areas can be protected?
Recent projects include walls, steel columns, exposed corners, pitchside areas, electrical equipment and specialist jumping-wall installations. Other applications can be discussed individually.
Can protective padding include club or sponsor branding?
Yes. Where suitable for the application, padding can incorporate club colours, logos or sponsor branding. Our Northampton Saints project includes interchangeable branded panels.
Can padding be removed for maintenance?
Some solutions can be designed with removable components, as demonstrated by our elite football training facility project. This depends on the structure and access requirements.
