RESIDENTIAL PERGOLA
Boulder, CO 80302
OVERVIEW:
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.
The first pergola was installed over a small (10 x 12) front deck, providing a covered space for the homeowner to enjoy morning coffee while taking in the stunning mountain views. This deck, elevated 5-6 feet off the ground, was designed to offer protection from the elements without obstructing the natural beauty of the surroundings.
The second pergola was part of a larger project involving a complete teardown and reconstruction of the old wrap-around deck. Working closely with Legacy Spaces, a renowned deck builder, StruXure Denver ensured that the new deck was perfectly sized to accommodate the pergola. The deck design and creation involved several steps, including tearing down the old deck, designing the new one, constructing it, and installing the pergola and railings. This collaborative effort resulted in an integrated and seamless outdoor living space.
The second pergola, covering approximately 450 square feet, featured three zones to cater to a large main section of the wrap-around deck. The bronze-colored Pivot 6 pergola was equipped with lighting, though no fans were installed due to the high wind conditions in the area.
Project Details
CHALLENGE:
Working with the deck builder alleviated many challenges, as the deck was built precisely to the specifications required to mount the pergola posts securely. The collaboration with Legacy Spaces ensured that the pergola system would integrate perfectly with the new deck, providing a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing result.
The high elevation and extreme weather conditions always pose unique challenges, any pergola must withstand high winds and heavy snow loads. Additionally, installing the pergolas on elevated decks, particularly the second-story wrap-around deck, required precise engineering to ensure stability and durability.
SOLUTION
StruXure Denver installed the Pivot 6 pergola systems, known for their superior durability and innovative design. The Pivot 6 features pivoting louvers that allow for precise sunlight control and on-demand rain protection. This made it an ideal choice for the challenging weather conditions at the property. The Pivot 6 pergolas, made from fully extruded aluminum and stainless-steel fasteners, are designed to withstand hurricane-force winds, heavy snow loads, and punishing hail.
The bronze-colored pergolas complement the home’s aesthetic and blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The installation included lighting to enhance the functionality and ambiance of the outdoor spaces. The architectural-grade powder coating eliminates maintenance, protecting the pergolas against scratches and environmental conditions.
The easy-to-maintain design requires only occasional cleaning with a hose and stiff-bristled brush to keep the pergolas looking perfect year after year. The patented internal gutter system diverts rainwater away from the structure and will help to keep the new deck dry and clean.
RESULTS:
The installation of the Pivot 6 pergolas was completed in just three days, transforming the outdoor living spaces into highly functional and aesthetically pleasing areas. The homeowner was particularly impressed with the seamless integration of the pergolas with the new deck. The homeowner reported that the pergolas passed the winter with flying colors, providing reliable protection and comfort throughout the harsh winter conditions with high winds and heavy snow loads.
BENEFITS:
The feedback from the homeowner has been overwhelmingly positive. The pergolas have increased the usable outdoor space, allowing for comfortable seating and relaxation even in challenging weather conditions. The integration of the Pivot 6 pergolas with the new deck has enhanced the overall aesthetic and functionality of the home, providing a versatile and enjoyable outdoor living area.
