Custom Aluminum Trellises in Aventura, Florida
Project Type: Custom metal solutions
Location: Aventura, Florida
Client: FENEX
Project Overview
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.
Aluminum Ledger
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.
Aluminum Rafters
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.
Aluminum Beams
Moreover, aluminum beams, attached at strategic post locations, ensure the structure remains sturdy and resistant to environmental factors such as wind loads and corrosion.
Key Features
- Durable Materials: The use of aluminum ensures longevity, providing a lightweight yet strong composition that resists rust and wear.
- Precision Engineering: In the same way, we provided detailed calculations and shop drawings to ensure the trellises not only met the architectural vision but also adhered to stringent building codes and safety standards.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Lastly, the trellises offer a sleek, contemporary look that enhances the visual appeal of the space, while also providing functional shading.
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.

Custom Aluminum Pergola in Weston, Florida
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.
At DOP Engineering, we specialize in structural design and custom metal solutions tailored to our clients’ needs. By integrating high-quality materials with expert engineering, we create structures that enhance both functionality and aesthetics.
