Modern pergolas are outdoor structures typically used for shading and decoration. They feature clean lines
and minimalist
designs that provide shade and a decorative touch to a garden or patio. Modern pergolas often feature
options such as
built-in lighting, fans, and retractable canopies to provide more comfort and versatility.
Some newer models also utilize materials such as fiberglass and aluminum for durability and low maintenance.
They can be freestanding or attached to a building, and can be customized to suit various sizes and shapes.
With their sleek look and functional features, modern pergolas are popular choices for homeowners and
businesses seeking to
enhance their outdoor spaces. Overall, modern pergolas provide a functional and aesthetic addition to
outdoor living spaces.

The rigidity of the pergola is derived from the stability of the connection to the Earth. The importance of big, solid footings which are placed accurately, cannot be overstated.

Concrete footings: 14" Diameter minimum for 10" square and 12" round columns.
Our site plan will show a diagonal dimension. This helps you square the footings to each other.
Concrete pad: Should be poured 12" deep in the area where the columns will stand.
Stone wall: It's best to drill 18" deep into the well built, mortared stone wall.
Concrete pier: Wet set our 5/8" stainless steel rods into the footing then build the pier
Tolerance factor: Footings should be placed accurately with an overall error margin of less than an inch.
Conduit in footings: Bring a sweep into your footing with the center about three inches off center.
Deck mounted: Ask us for PDF drawings of best practice connection methods.
It is the customers responsibility to make sure that an adequate mounting surface is in place. The customer is responsible for
supplying relevant dimensions such as the depth and width of column centers and overall height requirements for the structure.
All dimensions, including overhangs and member spacing are completely customizable during the design process. At the time of installation, nothing can be changed.
