BUILT AROUND COLORADO
Elevation coordinates the site information, product selection, and installation scope. Licensed professionals establish the project’s structural and geotechnical design.
01
The address and elevation start the snow-load conversation. Nearby roofs, drifting, sliding snow and the selected louver position can affect the design. Ground snow load and roof design load are different values. We coordinate the project criteria, roof configuration and supporting structure with the responsible engineer.
02
Open terrain, foothill exposure, roof height and surrounding buildings affect wind demand. Screens and privacy walls add surfaces that catch wind. The design follows those forces through tracks, beams, posts, anchors and foundations. Published wind speeds only become useful when their design basis and configuration match the project.
03
Colorado’s expansive soils can swell with moisture and shrink as they dry. Fill, slopes and drainage can further change foundation behavior. We coordinate structural and geotechnical input where needed, including bearing, uplift, frost considerations and foundation type. A paver surface or an existing slab is not automatically a structural footing.
04
Sun-warmed aluminum and overnight cooling create temperature movement. Long runs, mixed materials and screen openings need the manufacturer’s specified clearances and connection details. We coordinate movement allowances, drainage and finish transitions so the architecture and working components are considered together.
COMFORT THROUGH THE SEASONS
Reducing drafts on a patio and resisting structural wind loads are different jobs. Select a screen for comfort, then verify its assembly, support and operating limits for the location.
Coordinate roof drainage and outlet locations with the patio and landscape. Keep gutters and screen tracks clear, and follow product instructions before operating parts affected by ice.
We connect product selection with site review, engineering coordination, permit requirements and construction planning. Licensed professionals establish final structural and geotechnical design; Elevation Build Co. coordinates the agreed installation scope.
THE DETAILS MATTER
Forever identifies domestic extrusion, coating and fabrication for its core roof components. The selected roof, controls and accessories are confirmed individually.
Fenetex describes domestic custom manufacturing using imported parts. We retain that qualification when describing its screens.
Elevation Shade identifies its 2026 structures collection as American made. Material construction and maintenance vary by model.
Globus documents U.S. manufacturing for its aluminum fence products. Knotwood’s U.S. range is manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona. We confirm the specified profile, finish and accessories.
USA SHADE documents steel fabrication in Dallas. The fabric and complete component specification are confirmed for your project.
Elevation Shade describes U.S. assembly and identifies Llaza in Spain as its frame-component supplier. This is a different origin description from an entirely American-made product.
Manufacturer specifications apply to the selected model and configuration. Final project documents establish the requirements for your property.
