This post and beam style pergola is in Oakville Ontario and has already survived an extreme bout of unexpected weather. Southern Ontario gets its fair shade of severe thunderstorms and these canopies were extended during a close call and came through none the worse for wear.
The orientation of the canopies is quite unique. They extend only 6 ‘ but are 20’ wide. This is our first installation over 20’ finished in April of 2009.
Note the canopies extend and retract on a 45 degree angle, and when fully retracted are under a small roof covering to protect against the snow and tree debris of the Canadian winter. It's a unique and beautiful design with a practical benefit: It really sheds rain!
