Pergola X Expanding Business - The SHED - Franklin, MA

This year we had the opportunity to work with owners of The SHED Restaurant in Franklin, MA, installing a state-of-the-art StruXure Pergola X - Pivot 6. During our drone shoot last week, we met with the restaurant’s owner, who shared his insights on how this new addition has enhanced the dining experience, allowing The SHED to offer a unique, comfortable atmosphere for guests as the weather cools.

The SHED’s new pergola installation goes beyond standard outdoor seating. Equipped with enclosed screens and heaters, this smart pergola enables customers to enjoy their meals in a cozy, enclosed space, even as temperatures drop. This setup isn’t just about extending the patio season—it's about creating a dedicated, weather-resistant environment where guests can gather comfortably. The Pivot 6's technology offers flexibility, with motorized louvers that adjust for sunlight, shade, and airflow, ensuring a perfect ambiance at any time of day.

For local businesses considering expanding their outdoor spaces, a smart pergola can make a significant difference. The combination of adaptability and elegance creates a versatile outdoor venue that can attract more customers throughout the year. Imagine offering shaded areas on warm days and enclosed, heated spaces during cooler months.
