RESIDENTIAL PERGOLA
Bow Mar 80123
OVERVIEW:
Bow Mar, CO, is a friendly and family-oriented community in a quiet country setting with open space, expansive views, and a private lake. The name Bow Mar is derived from combining the names of two nearby lakes, Bowles Lake and Marston Reservoir. Located just about 10 miles from Denver, Bow Mar is a small, affluent neighborhood where residents enjoy spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains in a rural, peaceful atmosphere. StruXure Denver helps homeowners in Bow Mar to enjoy nature in their own backyard with luxurious pergolas like this one we constructed for a total home renovation.
This homeowner in Bow Mar completely renovated an entire older home constructed in the 1950s, with an added section, a new patio and doors, and wanted a pergola to cover the new outdoor space. StuXure Denver was contacted by the contractor for this home renovation, Harko Construction, for assistance in building the perfect pergola to add beauty, elegance, and functionality.
Project Details
CHALLENGE:
This renovated home, rebuilt with additions, was quite interesting and had varying roof lines. One entire side of the outdoor space was sliding accordion doors, and another side was one wall, with an open side and another partially open side. The pergola had one wall to connect to, with roof mounts, low roof lines, and vaulted ceilings.
Special mounting brackets were required to secure the pergola to mount to reinforced roof rafters. Working with the contractor provided advantages as the pergola could be designed prior to pouring the patio. We were able to identify the best location for the footings to pour them while pouring the concrete patio and anchor the columns on top of the pad.
SOLUTION
Pivot 6 Aluminum Pergola
StruXure Denver installed larger 10” beams for the frame, with a double thickness wall and two beams in the front in order to carry the span of 24’ without posts size popular for commercial installations and able to handle three times the rainwater and heavy snow loads. We were able to come in during construction while the area was exposed inside to take extra steps to reinforce the pergola to the roof rafters, with two posts on the outside. This allowed for a durable, innovative louvered roof system that is 24 feet wide and did not require a center post so as not to interfere with outdoor living space. We used 10” specialty beams to support this 3-zone pergola mounted on three sides.
RESULTS:
This installation was completed within one week, with the footings included when the contractor poured the patio. Features and accessories included a ceiling fan, lighting, heaters, and as always, adjustable louvers that pivot to allow for sunlight and airflow and close completely to protect against rain and snow. A remote control allows for quick and easy adjustment of the smart louvered roof system.
BENEFITS:
This homeowner can now open up the entire wall with accordion glass doors into a beautiful, luxurious outdoor living area, essentially bringing the indoors out. The homeowner is so pleased with the installation they may consider adding another pergola to cover additional outdoor space to further enjoy their large backyard, which sits on an acre lot.
