ShadeFX Spotlight: Shooting for Stars with Cedar Springs Landscape Group

Cedar Springs Landscape Group takes pride in their ability to create ‘Five-Star’ backyards that ‘bring the resort experience home’.  This design, drawn up for a beautiful Burlington residence, perfectly reflects the capabilities of Cedar Springs vision and ability. The landscaping, complimentary hardscaping and added water features are tied together by a bold pergola and covered seating area.

This was the first time that ShadeFX and Cedar Springs have worked together, and hopefully not the last. The unique pergola roof design required a bit of expertise, so ShadeFX supervised the installation and provided helpful tips to ensure future collaborations were made to be much more comfortable. The natural flex ( 6063 T6 grade aluminum) of the canopy wings perfectly form the radius of the arched pergola top.  Captive Stabilizers were installed prior to painting and cladding of pergola post and rafters to make for a fully integrated system.

At 13’ long and 20’ wide, the homeowners decided to have the canopy motorized for convenience and style. The front and rear valances were split in the middle to minimize ruffles in the fabric. Dome snaps were installed at the end of the rear valance, snapping on to the decorative post to prevent any fraying or tearing of the fabric when retracted.
 


 
The homeowners decided to go with a beige suede Sunbrella canopy, one of our most popular fabrics, to match their luxurious outdoor furniture. Our canopy provides these homeowners with complete overhead protection, encouraging them to spend days by the pool lounging in the sunshine or hiding from any summer showers.

A special thanks to Cedar Springs Landscape Group for giving us a chance to work together on the first of hopefully many five-star projects.
