A long, narrow gunite pool built for a tight side yard, with a tanning ledge and bubblers at the near end and travertine coping and decking throughout. A dark stained pergola off the covered patio gives shade without closing in the space. Proof that a small lot does not rule out a real pool.

This custom cPVC Trex Pergola kit is used as a patio cover for this beautiful pool at a Holiday Inn resort in Las Vegas, NV. The radius design, which incorporates a curved beam and frames the area nicely, offers an inviting nook to shade yourself when not enjoying the water. The shade structure was fabricated in an unpainted white which offers a low maintenance, lasting beauty for years to come. Custom measurements are 27' wide x 10' projection with seven 8" x 8' square columns. This shade structure adds a tropical feel to this resort!

This custom pool and spa in Boca Raton, Florida is really an amazing project for it's sheer design alone. The pergola that streams water down to the pool adds an amazing touch as well as provides that amazing sound crisp to the ears for ultimate relaxation!

A serene winter evening by the pool, where the beautiful Cosica pergola is softly illuminated with integrated LED and RGB lighting. Beneath it, cozy seating with plush throws, lanterns, and a small fire pit create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

A properly installed, low maintenance, ecologically balanced work of art for you to enjoy everyday. Unlike many home improvement projects, a pond or pondless waterfall gets better with age - the fish grow, the plants mature and flower, and each passing season brings its own beauty.

You don't need a massive patio space to enjoy the shade and structure of a pergola. This pergola acts as the perfect space for al fresco dining, with plenty of space beyond it to enjoy a fire in the firepit afterward.
