StruXure of the Rockies 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 of the Rockies 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.
Despite having a beautifully furnished outdoor seating area, it was underutilized due to its direct exposure to the southwestern sun. Recognizing the potential to transform this space into a more inviting and functional area, Pulte Mortgage Company wanted this commercial pergola installation to offer additional outdoor seating for employees. This would extend the usable space for outdoor employee gatherings and integrate the natural surroundings into daily work life, fostering a more engaging and enjoyable atmosphere.
The installation of a pergola at Ginger and Baker presented unique challenges due to the historical integrity and architectural constraints of the original Northern Colorado Feeders Supply building. The structure’s very old brick composition meant that the pergola could not be directly attached to the building; it had to be a freestanding structure on a raised patio. This necessitated the fabrication of special flashing to seamlessly connect the pergola to the building without leaving any gaps while also accommodating a crucial drain pipe from the roof.
