OUR PROJECTS

Project Overview

For this project in Weston, Florida, DOP Engineering provided structural drawings for a custom aluminum pergola designed to enhance outdoor living. Placed near the pool, this pergola offers both shade and architectural appeal while ensuring long-term durability in outdoor conditions.

Design & Materials

The pergola features aluminum posts and beams, selected for their strength, lightweight nature, and resistance to corrosion. The roof consists of composite aluminum panels, which provide protection from the elements while maintaining a modern, clean aesthetic. A reinforced concrete foundation secures the structure, ensuring stability against wind loads and daily use.

Engineering Considerations

Structural integrity was a key factor in the design process. The pergola’s aluminum framework was engineered to distribute loads efficiently, reducing stress on individual components. The concrete footings provide a solid base, preventing shifting over time. These details ensure the structure remains safe, durable, and compliant with building codes.

Functionality & Aesthetic Appeal

Beyond providing shade, this pergola adds a stylish focal point to the outdoor area. The combination of aluminum and composite materials creates a balance between durability and elegance, making it a low-maintenance yet visually appealing addition to the space.
