About this project

This Scottsdale backyard project began with concrete footings for a motorized pergola structure. Reinforcement was placed in the footing excavations before concrete was poured. Once the footing work was ready, the crew assembled the pergola beside the pool. Its adjustable louvers open and close by remote control.

Defining a shaded backyard area

As the upper assembly progressed, the pergola became a distinct outdoor room beside the pool. The concrete footing work remained the base for each post.
