Heavy-Duty Architectural Systems

Custom Aluminum Pergolas

Premium rust-proof aluminum patio covers engineered in South Florida for ultimate longevity and hurricane-force wind load compliance.

Is an Aluminum Pergola Right for You?

Our custom aluminum designs are ideal for South Florida homeowners and commercial businesses who want a premium, long-lasting outdoor cover. Unlike wood or vinyl, structural aluminum does not rot, warp, split, rust, or attract wood-boring termites. It is suitable for patios, pools, outdoor kitchens, and high-exposure coastal decks.

Key Benefits

  • Zero Structural Rot: Resistant to moisture, pool chemicals, and salt spray.
  • Hurricane Engineered: Heavy-gauge structural extrusions comply with Florida building codes.
  • Low Maintenance: Never requires painting, staining, or sealing.
  • High Aesthetics: Clean lines finished in durable powder coat or wood grain coatings.

Design Choices & Technical Limitations

Each pergola is custom drafted. We tailor column sizes, header spans, and finish colors based on your site's physical layouts and wind zone ratings.

Design Flexibility

Select flat-top slats, angled rafters, solid panel roofing, or integrated louvered systems. Colors are electrostatically powder coated to prevent fading.

Technical Limitations

Maximum column-to-column spans without middle supports are typically limited to 20 feet for structural integrity under code wind loads. Attached systems require specific ledger board attachment areas that must be inspected for framing stability before construction.

Our Pergola Fabrication Process

We control all stages of engineering, shop fabrication, powder coating, and installation.

01

Drafting & Engineering

We produce shop drawings specifying member spans, connector brackets, and concrete footing details.

02

Shop Cutting & Welding

Columns and headers are cut to size and AWS-welded to mounting brackets at our Oakland Park shop.

03

Clean Site Erection

Our structural crews drill concrete footers, align structural columns, and hoist main beams with clean fasteners.

Common Questions

How long does an aluminum pergola last?

With proper AAMA powder coating, structural aluminum pergolas last upwards of 30+ years. They do not suffer from the insect damage or corrosion issues that affect wood and light steel structures.

Are permits required for basic aluminum pergolas?

Yes. In Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach, building permits are required for all fixed structural outdoor covers. Setup requirements and setback limitations depend heavily on your local municipality zoning codes.
