Custom Pergola at Mohawk Restaurant

The Mohawk House in Sparta, New Jersey chose Walpole to create a structure that would invite outdoor dining, while enhancing the restaurant's warm atmosphere and visually appealing setting. Expansive Walpole pergolas are allowing restaurants nationwide to provide additional seating more quickly and perhaps more cost-effectively than a full-blown build-out expansion project. This structure features double shade canopies. The motor drive operation allows the canopy to be closed quickly as the push of a button, protecting diners and staff from harsh, direct sunlight, or drizzling rain. A monorail drive beam supports each canopy in the middle with "wings" that suspend the fabric. This unique design solution allows the rain to drain to the sides, rather than pool in the middle. During this party, when light rain began to fall, the canopies were quickly closed, and the event continued without disruption.
