Please describe the project specifications

This project is a custom designed 16' x 11' + hip-roof style free standing awning with four (4) 6" x 6" columns plated to a concrete deck. The aluminum frame was powder coated for the appearance of a wood grain finish. The material on top of the structure is water-proof vinyl. One side of the structure has an aluminum louver also powder coated with a wood grain appearance finish. The frame includes internal raceways for electric for accessories.


What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

The client owns a waterfront residential property and wanted a permanent structure pool-side that overlooked the water. The client wanted this to be a "statement" area with a view to entertain family and friends day and night while protecting them and entertainment accessories from sun and rain.


What is unique or complex about the project?

This is a highly versatile custom designed frame that incorporates raceways for the LED lighting, a central fan, TV Screens and electrical built-in ports for using/charging other devices. The design is functional and clean.

One unique feature is the louver on one side of the structure. The louver affords additional coverage for the area where the homeowner is planning for an outdoor bar/Bar-B-Q area. The other three sides are open to allow for unobstructed views of the home, pool and waterfront.


What were the results of the project?

The client was extremely satisfied with the stylish patio entertainment area that is perfect for all seasons, day and night. This structure has increased both the intrinsic and property value of the home.
