We do not have engineering for that type of application.  We do have various live/snow loads available. If you know the load per sq. ft. of the glass top, we may be able to help you.  You will also need to take into consideration the snow load for your area.

This is a new design we are working on. We hope to offer it soon as a DIY Kit at Alumawood.com.

This particular cover was developed as a joint effort between Alumawood.com and our customer Jerry Sanchez. This pergola was his concept and we helped him through the design process.

This cover is unique in that it has a peaked hip roof with lattice slats running parallel with each of the hip sides. It sits on four round, tapered, fiberglass columns and covers his jacuzzi.

All of the Alumawood.com DIY Kits currently offered have only flat roofs so this style pergola will be a great option to offer. We have had requests for this type of style in the past but Jerry was the first one to take on the challenge of designing and constructing it. We will be updating you on when it is available. Good job Jerry!

Here is a picture of a new “PermaTraxx” lighting system we will soon be offering at Alumawood.com. Actually it is just the track we are offering, you supply the lights. The lights for this system are standard outdoor “christmas” lights.
