Submit Drawings for a Custom Aluminum Pergola Build

t372-20

To submit drawings for a custom aluminum pergola, send dimensioned plans, elevations and a site description with photos so our team can prepare a fabrication drawing. We review the set, confirm measurements on site and return a written specification for your approval before production starts.

What to include in your drawing package

A complete set makes fabrication smoother and reduces back-and-forth. Please include a plan view with the pergola footprint, elevations from each side, and a section showing beam heights, slope and roof covering.

Overall dimensions and grid spacing between posts and beams
Connection details to the wall, slab or existing structure
Profile or section sizes if already defined by your structural engineer
Finish requirements, such as powder coating color or galvanizing

Clear labels and a North arrow help us match the drawings to the site.

Accepted file formats and drawing standards

We accept PDF for review and DWG or DXF for CAD work, plus clear photos of the location. Drawings should be to scale and show units clearly, preferably in millimeters. Hand sketches with dimensions are also welcome for early concepts, and we will convert them into working drawings.

Please label each sheet with the project name, date and revision number so we always work from the latest version.

How we review your submitted drawings

Once the set arrives, our team checks it for buildability, material compatibility and dimensional consistency. We look at how beams meet posts, how the roof sections span, and whether the chosen profiles suit the load and the aluminum finish you want.

If something is unclear or conflicts with the site, we will contact you before production. Structural loads and member sizing should be confirmed with your engineer, and we build to the approved drawings.

On-site measurement and verification

Drawings are only as accurate as the measurements behind them. We recommend a site visit before final approval, where our team checks the wall or slab, existing levels, and access for delivery and installation. Even when plans are provided, a short verification visit catches differences between the drawing and the actual building.

Bring the drawings to the site so measurements can be compared directly on paper.

Written specification and client approval

After review, we prepare a written specification that lists materials, profiles, dimensions, finishes and the scope of installation. This document is what you approve before we start production, so please read it carefully and mention any changes in writing.

Confirm dimensions and layout
Confirm aluminum finish and color
Confirm roof covering and drainage details

From approved drawing to installation

Once you approve the specification, the pergola moves into production at our factory on Rival Street in Tel Aviv. Aluminum members are cut, assembled and finished before delivery, which keeps site work to a minimum. Installation follows the approved drawings, and any site adjustments are noted and shared with you.

Keeping one contact person for the whole process helps avoid confusion between the design team and the installers.

Frequently asked questions

Can I send hand sketches instead of CAD drawings?

Yes, dimensioned hand sketches are fine for early concepts. We will turn them into working drawings and confirm them with you before production.

Do you check the structural design of the pergola?

We check buildability and fabrication details, but loads and member sizing should be confirmed by your structural engineer. We build to the approved drawings.

Is a site visit necessary if I already have full drawings?

A site visit is strongly recommended to verify measurements against the actual building before final approval. It helps catch differences between the plans and the site.

What happens after I submit my drawings?

We review the set, may ask questions, and then send a written specification for your approval. Production begins only after you approve it in writing.

Common mistakes to avoid

Submitting drawings without dimensions or with mixed units often causes delays and revisions. Always confirm measurements on site before the final approval.

Our recommendation

Send one clean, dated and revised set of drawings with a site photo for each wall or connection point. This gives the fabrication team what it needs to avoid costly changes later.

Summary

Submit clear, dimensioned drawings, verify them on site and approve the written specification before production begins.
