RESIDENTIAL PERGOLA

Project Details

CHALLENGE:

Attaching a pergola to an old brick home built in the early 1900s is always a challenge, depending on the building methods of the era. While the home had been updated and modernized, the original brick wall was not constructed with today’s building practices in mind. This particular double brick wall was quite unique as the method of the time was to fill the cavity in between the two brick walls with debris, which made it impossible to epoxy into the wall. With the ability to make custom 10” bolts, we drilled all the way through the wall with a threaded 1/2“ steel rod and decorative star washers to attach the structure to the inside of the wall to gain structural support.

SOLUTION

Pivot 6 Aluminum Pergola
Rather than install the 24’ pergola in two zones, we met the needs of the homeowner to construct this beautiful gray and white pergola in three equal 8’ zones. This provided more available beams to hang two fans and lights and allowed the homeowner to customize their new outdoor space and arrange furniture to utilize the space their way. Extra posts were added for increased support to carry the load due to the use of different wall anchors.

The patio was extended, which allowed us to put footings in place when the new section of the concrete patio was poured. The adjustable louvers are standard with all Pivot 6 pergolas installations, and an easy-to-use remote provided this homeowner with on-demand control. A pivoting louvered rooftop allows for precise adjustment of sunlight in the new outdoor space, or it can be closed completely to protect against rain and snow. The sturdy material is impervious to most hail, and the patented, integrated gutter system diverts rainwater away from the patio.

StruXure Denver’s Pivot 6 is designed to meet the seasonal weather changes in the Denver area with durable, powder-coated aluminum that will not rust or rot and protects your pergola against environmental degradation. Our pergolas are built to last a lifetime with fully extruded aluminum and stainless steel to withstand hurricane-force winds, hail, and heavy snow loads. This homeowner is now enjoying low maintenance with no painting or lubrication needed. Just a seasonal spray and wash is all that is needed to enjoy this forever pergola.
