Freestanding Pool Pergola

These homeowners embody the American dream coming true. The gentleman is a retired banker who now builds homes for needy folks by way of the Habitat For Humanity organization. He created this patio then Called Baldwins for the pergola which we installed.

Freestanding Pool Pergola

A year later we went back and added a Baldwin Retractable Fabric Shade. The shade system is supported by a central track with roller bearings inside. Because there is only one support, the shade cannot bind as it extends and retracts. The motion is fluid. We like that it can be locked at any point along the way by tightening the pull handle clockwise.

Freestanding Pool Pergola

There's a good feeling associated with selling high quality products. The customers are happy and the feeling spreads. We are blessed with rewarding, productive occupations here. We're happy to be a part of our customers successes. We didn't make this shade system, but we were careful to select the highest quality shade system to supply to our customers.

Freestanding Pool Pergola

The square columns with recessed panels are distinctive. The ones in the photo are 8" x 8". There is a boarder all around the recess which must always be considered and never overlooked. If this pergola were to be built on an uneven surface, then these columns would have to be special ordered and cut to exact lengths at the factory in Chicago. These cuts allow the perimeter around the recesses to be consist ant among the columns.

Freestanding Pool Pergola

Without the pergola, the patio would not appear nearly as inviting. Pergolas were all the rage during the victorian era of the late nineteenth century. Around the 1920's the "Naturalist" movement gained popularity among garden designers and most garden structures were removed. With all we've learned about the damaging rays of the sun, I don't think we'll be repeating that bit of history.

The piers were capped with bluestone: 24"x24"x3" thick.

The scale and architecture of the property required large 12" square columns with recessed panels.

The large columns demanded large sconces and extra large 4x12 beams.

Rather than one extra long retractable shade, our customer opted for two shade systems.

Mounting Surface Requirements

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, connot be overstated.

The rigidity of the pergola is derived from the stability of the connection to the Earth.
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.

Testimonials

You had asked me to send you some photos and I'm just getting around to it. Installation was smooth and we weren't missing any pieces. Good instructions. We love it. I installed rope lighting and it really pops at night.

Terry Cleaveland

The pavers have been laid for the terrace and sidewalks. Almost a year and half has gone into this phase of my yard transformation. Your pergola Fits into the picture just right. Thanks so much for the help! Dan

Daniel Carman

Hi Chris, We love the pergola and all our neighbors think it is great. The Baims next door are seriously considering doing one next year. Thanks so much for all your help. Pat

Pat D'Auria

Again I would like to say thanks, dealing with you has been a distinct pleasure. In my line of work it is really refreshing to know there are honest reputable people still around.

Glenn Scott of Arizona

I had been working with Diane on having some custom draperies made for our tropical patio covers which are called Palapas. She made one set last summer, and we liked them so much we had another set made this summer. They turned out quite nice and I thought you might want to see some of the pictures I took. I was so glad to have found your website on the internet. We can now actually use our outside table to eat dinner. Prior to having our draperies we had the setting sun right in our eyes. Thank you for the awesome product! Diane does really great work!

Wendy Neese

The pergola has truly transformed our backyard into an outdoor paradise! We enjoy the hot tub every night. The privacy wall and beautiful drapery makes our pergola a wonderful enclosed outdoor room.

Michael & Maria D'Ambrose

I was very impressed with how easily the assembly went - the process was intuitive, every part just dropped into place.

Dan Harmon

The pergola looks amazing and you and your team went above and beyond the call of duty. I'd also like to thank you for helping to get our kitchen cabinets off the delivery truck and into our driveway. You and your team have been true professionals and I would be glad (and proud) to be a referral in the future. I'll be sure to send pics once the outdoor kitchen is completely installed. Thanks again.

Ted Yip

Well it's up, took about 7 hours with my wife helping, it probably would have been faster without her. What can I say? Know I'm only kidding she was a big help. She really loves it. It is much nicer then we imagined. It was a very simple project everything went together perfectly. Thanks again.

Tony Nakelski

Dear Baldwins, WE LOVE OUR NEW FURNITURE! It is so beautiful, comfortable and functional and it smells good too! We feel like we have a whole new outdoor room on our deck. Thank you for giving us a break on the delivery charges - the fellow who brought the furniture was a very nice young man. We're very happy with our choice. Sincerely,

Jane Hastay and Peter Weiss
