Pergola structure: Concrete footings support steel columns with a steel and wood roof structure. The steel has been painted, and the wood has a clear preservative finish. Patio cover: Translucent polycarbonate sheets by Polygal, a durable material made from 100 percent recycled polycarbonate resin that is also 100 percent recyclable after use. Williams also prefers Polygal sheets over glass because the pattern on the material hides leaves and other debris that fall on the cover. Pergola dimensions: 12 by 14 feet (3.7 by 4.3 meters) and an average of 9 feet (2.7 meters) high. (The roof angles up slightly toward the house for drainage.) Attached or detached? The pergola is detached and sits about 12 inches (304 millimeters) from the roof overhang. Pergola budget: $26,000 plus tax ($14,000 for materials; $7,000 for labor; $5,000 for contractor project management, overhead and profit). The price would probably have been higher if the project had not been done as part of a larger remodel.
Drainage: The extra steel column on this corner of the pergola is actually a roof drain. It directs water from the house gutters into a subdrainage system beneath the gravel base. It does not drain the pergola roof. Seating: Shapiro designed built-in poured-in-place concrete benches, and interior designer Kathleen Glossa selected the outdoor dining set from Crate & Barrel. Wood-burning fireplace: It’s the existing brick fireplace from the original home. Considerations: “Steel frame is essential for durability,” says Williams of the pergola frame. Wood does require restaining or refinishing over time, but the wood here shouldn’t require as much maintenance because it is under the protective cover.
