StruXure Denver installed two pergolas for this homeowner in the foothills west of Boulder, CO, at an elevation of about 10,000 feet. The property faced extreme weather conditions characterized by high winds and heavy snow loads. The homeowner wanted two different pergola systems: one on a small, elevated front deck and another on a large, elevated wrap-around deck.
These homeowners sought to enhance and customize their backyard deck with increased privacy and protection from the elements. Despite the beauty and functionality of their backyard deck, the lack of privacy from neighbors and the alley became a significant concern. The homeowners saw the potential for a pergola with screens on all sides to transform their outdoor area into a secluded retreat, allowing them to enjoy the outdoors comfortably away from the bustling activity of the alley and protected from wind, rain, and snow.
This pergola installation was for a brand-new home construction in Westminster, Colorado, and featured an outdoor patio adjacent to where a new swimming pool was under construction. The home was designed and constructed by a well-known home builder who specifically requested StruXure Denver for the pergola installation.
The installation of two pergolas at this Parker, CO residence presented unique challenges, particularly due to their placement on the second and third-story decks, each with its own complexities.
A large, full-length octagon-shaped bay window sat adjacent to the L-shaped back patio, posing a challenge to seamlessly attach any structure with this multi-faceted design. Architectural designers had been leading the home remodel and planned for the pergola to attach to the wall on one side and remain free-standing on the other, with a main section that goes out around the bay window.
There were a couple of challenges with this pergola installation in Westminster, as the home was part of a homeowner’s association, and the HOA had very stringent rules
