RESIDENTIAL PERGOLA
Broomfield, CO 80023
OVERVIEW:
A retired dentist moved to the Anthem Ranch retirement community in Broomfield, CO, to be closer to family, selecting a new home with an existing covered patio. These homes come with a small back patio which is only about 8 feet deep and not practical for seating a table and chairs, entertaining guests, or enjoying the outdoor space. Most homeowners expand their outdoor living areas by building out from the original patio.
This west-facing patio was fully exposed to the intense setting sun, making it unbearably hot and uncomfortable during the afternoons and evenings. The homeowner sought to create a shaded, functional outdoor space beyond the original patio. StruXure Denver collaborated with a deck builder to design and construct a fully integrated pergola and deck, transforming the unusable area into a cohesive, inviting outdoor living space.
Project Details
CHALLENGE:
StruXure Denver worked closely with the deck builder to ensure a fully integrated design, coordinating the pergola installation with the construction of the deck and railings. The pergola needed to complement the overall structure, seamlessly blending with the deck and railing system while enhancing the usability and aesthetic appeal of the outdoor space.
SOLUTION:
StruXure Denver designed and installed a custom Pivot 6 pergola, extending the original covered patio by 10 feet. The pergola was attached to the house, with two posts placed at the outer edge of the extended area. This strategic placement allowed the deck builder to build off the pergola’s posts, creating a seamless integration between the pergola, deck, and railings. The project highlights the exceptional results achievable when StruXure Denver collaborates with deck builders and contractors during the early stages of construction.
The Pivot 6 pergola features our patented internal gutter system, which efficiently channels rainwater away from the structure to prevent pooling and ensure long-lasting durability. The fully extruded aluminum design is durable and capable of withstanding Colorado’s challenging weather conditions, including heavy snow, hail, and high winds.
This pergola was accentuated with integrated lighting, enhancing its functionality for evening use, and the beautiful corbel ends complemented the retirement community’s aesthetic. The adjustable louvers on the Pivot 6 provide precise control over sunlight and shade, ensuring a comfortable environment throughout the day and protection from rain.
RESULTS:
The installation of the Pivot 6 pergola transformed the homeowner’s outdoor space into a functional and comfortable, visually appealing area. The project created a cohesive design that seamlessly blended with the home’s architecture by extending the original patio and incorporating the pergola into the new deck and railing system, flowing into beautiful landscaping.
The homeowner could now enjoy a shaded retreat that provided relief from the harsh west-facing sun, while the integrated lighting allowed the space to be used well into the evening. The collaboration between StruXure Denver and the deck builder ensured a smooth process and a stunning, integrated final result.
