Residential Pergola

Project Details

CHALLENGE:

This pergola installation required a custom design as the homeowner desired a wide open view from the middle instead of having a post in between each zone. Rather than install a two-zone, three-post pergola, the homeowner wanted to keep the center of the pergola open for an unobstructed view.

The west-facing side of the pergola was exposed to intense afternoon sun, requiring a shaded screen to enjoy the space fully.

SOLUTION:

StruXure of the Rockies installed a two-zone Pivot 6 pergola directly tied into the house, ensuring a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The Pivot 6 pergola system allows for a customizable design with an advanced louvered roof system, allowing the homeowner to adjust sunlight and airflow.

In order to accommodate the homeowner’s request for a more open center while still including the required support pillars, we extended the center posts five feet outward. This allowed us to use four posts along the sides instead of three, thereby providing a larger open area in the center for a beautiful aesthetic and an unobstructed center view.

The Pivot 6’s motorized louvers allow the homeowner to control sunlight and airflow, offering full exposure, partial shade, or complete protection from the elements with the touch of a button. The integrated motorized screens on the west-facing side provide additional protection against the intense afternoon sun, making the space more comfortable and usable while maintaining privacy.

Constructed with fully extruded aluminum, the Pivot 6 pergola is designed to withstand high winds, heavy snow loads, and hail, ensuring long-term durability with minimal maintenance. The built-in gutter system effectively channels rainwater away from the structure, preventing pooling and maintaining a dry, comfortable outdoor environment.

RESULTS:

The installation of this Pivot 6 pergola transformed the outdoor space into a stylish, functional retreat that the homeowner could enjoy throughout the year. The strategic post placement and symmetrical design met the homeowner’s aesthetic vision while maintaining the structural integrity of the pergola.

With the addition of motorized screens, the west-facing exposure was no longer an issue, allowing the space to be used comfortably during the hottest parts of the day.  The pergola’s adjustable louvers provide ultimate flexibility, adapting to the homeowner’s needs, whether they want full sun, shade, or protection from the rain.

BENEFITS:

This homeowner was very pleased with the results, appreciating the customization and attention to detail that went into the pergola design. The open, unobstructed center view, combined with the clean, modern lines of the pergola, enhanced the overall aesthetic of their home.

The Pivot 6 pergola has added significant value to the property, offering a low-maintenance, high-durability solution that enhances outdoor living. The motorized screens, fans, lights, and heaters provide added comfort and protection, making the space enjoyable in all seasons. StruXure of the Rockies’s ability to customize every aspect of the pergola design ensured that this project was a structural success and an architectural statement.
