Sequoia Outdoor - St. Clair 8' x 8' Pergola

 

Description

Not every outdoor space calls for a grand-scale structure. Sometimes the right pergola is the one that fits a corner, frames a single seating area, or creates an intimate shaded retreat without dominating the yard around it. The Sequoia Outdoor St. Clair 8 by 8 Pergola is built for exactly those spaces. It is the most compact configuration in the St. Clair line -- 103 inches wide by 103 inches deep by 98 inches tall when assembled -- sized for a pair of chairs and a side table, a bistro corner, a garden focal point, or any outdoor setting where a smaller footprint is the right call.

 

The material is what separates this from every wood pergola in the same category. Sequoia builds the St. Clair from HDPS -- high-density polystyrene, the proprietary poly lumber that Sequoia was founded on and the only material they produce that is rigid enough to support a structural pergola frame. Outdoor structures like pergolas are almost universally made from wood because standard poly lumber cannot bear the load requirements of an overhead structure. HDPS can. It is lighter and stiffer than HDPE, engineered for structural applications that softer poly materials cannot reach, and the reason Sequoia is one of the very few producers globally making a poly lumber pergola at all. The St. Clair is not a furniture piece adapted into a structure -- it is a purpose-engineered outdoor building product made from the only plastic capable of being one.

 

The HDPS surface carries a real wood grain embossing that is, by wide agreement across the industry, the most authentic wood-look finish available in a poly material. The St. Clair 8 by 8 looks like a wood pergola. It does not look like plastic. And unlike the wood pergola it resembles, it will not rot, warp, splinter, crack, or require painting, staining, or sealing at any point in its service life. Power wash it when it looks dirty. That is the complete maintenance program. Available in three colors -- Black, Weathered Acorn, and Coastal Teak -- with the color integral to the material, not a surface coating, and not subject to fading or peeling.

 

The structure assembles with 304-grade stainless steel hardware throughout -- marine-grade, corrosion-proof in every outdoor environment. Mounting brackets are included. Anchor hardware for the specific installation surface is supplied by the installer. Assembly is required; step-by-step instructions are included and two or more adults are recommended. The St. Clair 8 by 8 is suited for residential and commercial settings and carries a 12-year residential limited warranty. At-once in-stock orders ship in 5 to 8 business days.

Features

• HDPS Poly Lumber Construction -- Built from Sequoia's proprietary HDPS (high-density polystyrene) -- the only poly lumber rigid and load-bearing enough to support a structural pergola frame. Sequoia is one of the very few producers globally capable of manufacturing a pergola in poly lumber.
• Made in the USA -- Designed and manufactured in the United States by Sequoia Outdoor. At-once in-stock orders ship in 5 to 8 business days.
• Will Not Rot, Warp, Splinter, or Crack -- The HDPS frame is completely immune to rot, warping, splintering, cracking, and insect damage. No painting, staining, or sealing ever required. Power wash to clean.
• Real Wood Grain Embossing -- The HDPS surface carries a wood grain embossing recognized across the industry as the most authentic real-wood look available in any poly lumber product.
• Compact 8 x 8 Footprint -- At 103 inches wide by 103 inches deep by 98 inches tall, the 8 by 8 is sized for intimate seating areas, garden corners, bistro settings, and smaller outdoor spaces where a larger pergola would be out of proportion.
• Three Color Options -- Black, Weathered Acorn, and Coastal Teak. Colors are integral to the HDPS material -- not surface coatings -- and will not fade, peel, or require touch-up.
• Overhead Beam Design for Filtered Shade -- The overhead beams provide partial, dappled shade without enclosing the space. The St. Clair is an open pergola structure, not a solid roof.
