An existing pool deck surrounded this in ground pool, and a composite deck was already in place. But the clients had no shade from the scorching summer sun! They also wanted to define the space and create some rooms in which to entertain guests. But they also wanted it to be unique, compliment the pool, and be on a conservative budget. This wave shaped pressure treated pergola did the trick! The rafters of the pergola were cut to create a wave shape that is noticeable when looking up at the structure. Four defined areas were created. As a surprise, we decided to build a couple party tables to give guests a place to lean, please drinks and food, and act as a railing to ensure nobody falls down the small set of steps to the back park. The customer, and his friends, were thrilled about the table idea and loved their new pool space!
