Harold Cross This spacious deck north of Des Moines in Ames features low-maintenance, Trex Transcend decking. Stairs wrap around the full front edge of the bayed deck, with a Belgard Urbana hardscaped landing easing the transition to the backyard. A cedar pergola sits over a portion of the deck and Belgard Tandem Wall columns and a planter box define the ares of the deck nicely. A Belgard Pizza Oven is the cooking centerpiece of this space. We integrated Belgard’s Tandem Wall stone into the pergola columns to provide more countertop space for this outdoor kitchen area. Lots of outdoor lighting on this space make it great for evening pizza parties.

Blending graciously with this Cape Cod home’s architecture is an expansive and impressive Walpole custom attached pergola. It creates a spectacular outdoor room for relaxing and entertaining throughout the warmer months. Crafted in low maintenance AZEK, the custom pergola measures 35’ long by 11’ 10” high. The reinforced 5” deep by 14” high carrying beam sits atop four 9’ high by 10”dia. columns set into the homeowners’ blue stone patio. Joists are 1 1/2” by 7 1/4” and are attached to an 11/2” by 7 1/4” ledger board on the house. Walpole custom pergolas are limited only by your imagination. We will work from your sketches, architects drawings, or photographs. We also offer pergola kits in sizes from 10’ by 10’ to 14’ by 14’. For a free consultation, call Walpole at 800-343-6948 or complete our Design Consultation form.

Hideaway, Le Marche - San Marino, Italy A historical Hideaway. Image courtesy on the realtor, Leo Trippi. A well-hidden place where the spirit finds its peace, nested between the Romagna, the Marches and Tuscany. Entering the gate, one leaves behind the pace of chaotic lives, and abandons itself to the joy of living of this ancient land. It is meant to be understood as a site of experience, where nature, culture, history and pleasure are elevated to the centre of things in order to finally rediscover it in oneself. A sort of “back to the simplicity”, aiming to dedicate oneself to observation and drawing from it valuable experiences for one’s life. Each of the three houses presents itself as an unexpected world in its own right, closed in on itself and yet a harmonious part of the whole, waiting to be enlivened by lively laughter, animated conversation and playfulness. This territory is a paradise for lovers of nature and the great outdoors. The sheer variety of places and landscapes enables visitors to take excursions on foot, on horseback or by mountain bike. History and architecture enthusiasts can follow an itinerary of strongholds and castles dotted around the area. Lovers of gourmet food will discover a full range of traditional dishes and quality local produce all year round. The rich variety of museums enables exploration into the rural arts, medieval architecture, archaeological finds and contemporary art.
