A long time planning, a lot of work in digging and preparation, and the rest is history!
Our Lifestyle Displays are coming together so nicely. Yesterday we began putting up our 5 structures that will be displayed around the garden. The cool thing is that all of these structures are pergola kits that we sell!
I have had part in setting up these pergolas at our recent Home and Garden Shows, but when you build them for display there is no anchoring or anything that needs to be done. The natural elements are not necessarily a problem when you are in a convention center. Even with being in the industry and selling these structures for years, I was still amazed at how easy and fast the guys had the first two up! The kits definately make it a lot easier to set up.
The first we chose to display is the Tuscany Pergola. This particular pergola gives the ancient look of Rome. The beautiful Roman pillars and massive beams that run across the top makes it feel like you're a part of a Roman empire. I have seen these pergolas with everything from travertine pavers to natural flagstone underneath it. One of the most beneficial features of this particular set up is that it is actually a composite material. It is not actual wood, which in turn makes it easier to set up and gives it a longer lifespan. There is no need to re-finish or re-stain this set up.
The next structure we chose to set up is called "The Lodge." Like the Tuscany, the Lodge is also a composite material, but this pergola looks like it stepped straight out of the mountains. It has large like beams and a pitched roof with a realistic look.
The last series of pergolas we are installing is the Sonoma Series pergola. The main feature of this particular set up is the arched roof and lattice roof panels. This pergola is an Asian Cedar with a redwood stain. It comes in a 14'x14' size as well as a 10'x10' size. This one is definately one that you have never seen before. With options that include a wall that can be added to any sides that includes shutter windows, as well as post bullards to cover the anchoring hardware, this pergola is easy to customize to fit any need.As the guys finalize the structures and put up the remaining fencing, we will shoot some more pictures and keep you updated. Please feel free to come out and see us and our Lifestyle Displays anytime your in the area!
Until then have fun, work safe, and remember we are here to help you Build the Lifestyle of Your Dreams!
