Project Type: Custom metal solutions
Location: Aventura, Florida
Client: FENEX
DOP Engineering collaborated with FENEX to design custom aluminum trellises for a large-scale outdoor project in Aventura. Primarily, the scope of work included the fabrication of multiple trellises, to serve as both functional and architectural features.
First, aluminum ledgers were securely installed on a grouted, filled CMU wall for maximum stability. To clarify, these ledgers serve as the main support for attaching the trellises, ensuring a strong and reliable base.
Additionally, the rafters were designed to evenly distribute loads across the trellis. These rafters were spaced at a maximum of 12 inches on center (O.C.), consequently providing essential structural support while maintaining a clean and modern aesthetic.
Moreover, aluminum beams, attached at strategic post locations, ensure the structure remains sturdy and resistant to environmental factors such as wind loads and corrosion.
To conclude this project showcases DOP Engineering’s expertise in delivering custom metal solutions tailored to client needs. By combining functionality with cutting-edge design, the result is a durable and aesthetically pleasing structure that serves both practical and decorative purposes.
