Know Your Frost Line!
Why winter is the best time to think about your pergola
Your outdoor living spaces take their heaviest beating from Mother Nature this time of year. You’ve experienced it all in the Northeast, allowing you to understand the impact of some of the choices you will make when planning your patio or deck redesign. Wind, rain, sun and snow are the natural enemies of any outdoor environment. Fortunately, StruXure products are engineered for superior performance against all of these threats.
Snow-Load Ready
Heavy-Duty Construction
Extruded (not roll-formed) aluminum louvers form a pivoting roof that can handle heavy snow loads. You might see our installers standing on the roof, without fear of damage – for safety reasons, leave that to us and stay off your louvers!
StruXure is International Code Council (ICC) certified to withstand extreme weather conditions; your pergola can handle it all without compromising aesthetics.
Know Your Frost Line
48-inch Minumum Footers
A proper footer is dug below the frost line. In the greater Albany region, that means at least 4 feet deep, to avoid frost heaving. Often, 7 feet is the appropriate depth for secure anchoring.
Helical piles anchor the pergola to the ground for maximum security. Helical Piles are just one detail we employ to assure the durability of your outdoor investment.
Safe in High Winds
Driven by optional rain and wind sensors, the patented louvers pivot open to reduce wind-lift, or close to keep out rain, automatically as the weather changes. You can even control them from your phone!
StruXure pergolas are known to withstand up to 130 mph winds (versus industry standard of 105 mph) or even higher with specialty construction.
Weather-Proof Design
Marine-Grade Powder Coating ensures that your pergola withstands the cold, wet weather and heavy snow our region is famous for! Your roof can withstand the freeze-thaw-freeze cycle without damage, rot, or discoloration; unlike wooden arbors and other common pergola materials.
Stay Warm
Infrared heating technology powered by Bromic and Infratech can be seamlessly integrated with the design to extend the outdoor entertaining season, controlled through your smartphone. Just one of many options to customize your StruXure.
Excellence By Design
Every property is unique
A thorough design consultation with our experienced team ensures the unique features of your property are accounted for. Roof mount, Ledger mount, or Freestanding are all examples of variable pergola applications for you to choose from. Expert planning will allow you to select the best option and get the most out of your StruXure.
