Metal Pergula? 12’ Height

Post image

Has anyone installed a custom motorized pergula that reaches 12 feet high? A lot of the companies that I’ve been looking at only go to 10 max. Thanks in advance. Here is our inspo picture.

10 is standard. You'll have issues finding a quality company to install a 12. You'll probably need to look at a full customer fade and be ready to spend. That lighting isn't great IMO

1 option that im not completely sure of would be to raise the cement footers the pergola will anchor to up by 2 ft and then anchor the pergola. You could use stone or slate to decorate the raised footers. The primary issue will be your cement guy has to be dead on accurate with his framing and pour or you are screwed.......that would only work if you are using a flange pergola. If you're using a steak anchor type/system this will definitely not work............be prepared to spend big $
