Tapered Barrel Pavilion

Baldwin Pergoals did not build these structures, this section explains that we have the capability to design custom pavilion-like structures and to oversee the manufacture and installation of complex steel projects.
The rigidity of the pergola is derived from the stability of the connection to the Earth. The importance of big, solid footings which are placed accurately, cannot be overstated.
The rigidity of the pergola is derived from the stability of the connection to the Earth.
Concrete footings: 14" Diameter minimum for 10" square and 12" round columns.
Our site plan will show a diagonal dimension. This helps you square the footings to each other.
Concrete pad: Should be poured 12" deep in the area where the columns will stand.
Stone wall: It's best to drill 18" deep into the well built, mortared stone wall.
Concrete pier: Wet set our 5/8" stainless steel rods into the footing then build the pier
Tolerance factor: Footings should be placed accurately with an overall error margin of less than an inch.
Conduit in footings: Bring a sweep into your footing with the center about three inches off center.
Deck mounted: Ask us for PDF drawings of best practice connection methods.
It is the customers responsibility to make sure that an adequate mounting surface is in place. The customer is responsible for
supplying relevant dimensions such as the depth and width of column centers and overall height requirements for the structure.
All dimensions, including overhangs and member spacing are completely customizable during the design process. At the time of installation, nothing can be changed.

Gather Your Measurements
Measurements are taken from column centers, our typical overhang is 24 inches
A freestanding pergola that measures 120" x 120" on center will have an overall size of 168" x 168"
An attached pergola that measures 120" x 120" on center will have an overall size of 144" deep x 168" wide
All dimensions, including overhangs and member spacing are completely customizable

Testimonials
Thanks Max! I'll send you a picture today once we finish the install. It is truly AMAZING how well everything went together, especially considering the custom nature of the job and the need to build it against an existing structure.

It was such a beautiful day on Sunday I had my coffee under the pergola and Sunday night we ate dinner under it. We never spent any time out on the patio in the past.

Dear Max,
It's funny what can happen when the three stooges set out to erect a pergola. While we were ultimately successful, the process was a bit dodgy. Of course, had we curtailed our enthusiasm and actually READ the instructions first, it would have gone a lot easier. What ever damage was done was easily mended thanks to wood glue, a couple of hidden screws and some touch up paint.
I couldn't be happier with your fantastic work. From the beginning to the end of the process it was so easy, and I have admit, the pool area is so much improved with this addition. Absolutely PERFECT.
I'll send photos next time the sun is out. Oh yeah, we built it in the rain and it only took about four and a half hours.
Many MANY Thanks!
Jared Aswegan
Thank you so so much for all of the perfect work that you put into our Pergola. Eddy and I love it, it is simply !BEAUTIFUL!, and looks wonderful on our patio. A great reason for wishing for Spring to arrive.
Elba & Edward Borges
The construction went flawlessly. Everything fit together perfectly, we didn't have to "tap" one purlin or rafter into place, they just seemed to fit.
Thank you for all the help and instruction. We absolutely love, love, love it. It seems to fit perfectly on our patio and I know that we will enjoy it for many years to come. We would do this again in a heartbeat! I'm sending you pictures of the process and the finished product.

Max and crew, Rhea and I both want to thank you for a great job and lots of hard work. We are extremely pleased with the pergola, the quality of work and your own personal effort. Architecturally it brings a new dimension to the scale of the existing farmhouse by balancing the composition. Functionally it will bring years and years of enjoyment.
Steve and Rhea
Hello Matt, This could not have been easier, and it looks absolutely beautiful!
took us just shy of 6 hours to put it up, and my wife is already priming the mahogany caps.
wish i had another one to put somewhere!
thanks again
Michael
Max,
I wanted to drop you a line on the pergola. I have received nothing but rave reviews on this "magnificent structure". All of our expectations have been meet and exceeded - your shop has done a great job. We are celebrating an engagement and it will get a lot of usage during that party.
Thanks again for your commitment on getting it here as you promised. We will look forward to many years of enjoyment.
Terry McKinney
The pergola looks great, dont you think. I'm really glad everything worked out so well and appreciate that
you worked so hard to deliver on time. The system installed well, it took
only 7 hours working alone. And, my customer is pleased.
Joseph and Kathleen Mulcahy
Nothing but rave reviews on the pergola. You really out did yourself.
