Fulcrum Modern Pergola

Contemporary Design. Controlled Shade. Integrated Water Management.

The Fulcrum Modern Pergola is a premium outdoor pergola system defined by clean lines, modern proportions, and an integrated perimeter water-catcher gutter system. Unlike traditional pergolas, the Modern Pergola is designed to actively manage rainwater while delivering a sleek, architectural outdoor structure.

Engineered for homeowners who want a contemporary aesthetic with functional performance, the Fulcrum Modern Pergola creates a refined, permanent outdoor space — not a temporary or disposable structure.

What Makes the Modern Pergola Different

The defining feature of the Fulcrum Modern Pergola is its integrated perimeter gutter system, designed to capture and manage rainwater around the entire structure.

• Built-in water catcher gutter around the full perimeter
• Directs rainwater away from the covered area
• Maintains clean sightlines with concealed drainage design
• Allows continued use of outdoor space during light to moderate rain

This integrated system sets the Modern Pergola apart from traditional open pergola designs, including the Fulcrum Classic Pergola.

Louvered Roof Options

The Modern Pergola features adjustable louver systems that work in conjunction with the perimeter gutter to manage sun, shade, and rain.

Motorized Louvers

• Push-button control

Integrated Water Management System

When louvers are closed, rainwater is guided into the perimeter water-catcher gutter, which channels water away from the pergola structure.

Designed for rain management, not full waterproof enclosure.
