About
Pegolas by Julie

Julie Orr
Founder, Pergola Specialist
Julie has been a successful landscape designer and business owner since 2006. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she has become known for her elevated aesthetic and unfailing commitment to the highest standards of quality in all she does. During the course of managing her landscape design business, Julie discovered the beauty of louvered pergolas and began seeking out the best shade solutions for her clients and their award-winning outdoor living spaces.
That was over a decade ago. Since then, she has had the opportunity to work with a variety of pergola products and companies. Through this experience, she ultimately decided to take all that she had learned and make outdoor shade solutions the focus of her business. Pergolas by Julie was born.
Today, Pergolas by Julie is able to offer other designers, architects, builders and homeowners all the benefits of her deep knowledge of the industry. After vetting all major pergola companies, both nationally and overseas, she discovered Azenco, a French-based company with manufacturing in the U.S., and the company that Pergolas by Julie now exclusively represents.
My mission is to make every client’s outdoor living space the favorite part of their home.
Why I Chose Azenco Outdoor
Selecting a pergola company to partner with was based not only on better design features and better quality products, but had to include sustainable business practices plus world-class customer service. I chose Azenco because they excel in all these areas. Highlights include:
ADVANCED DESIGN FEATURES
HIDDEN HARDWARE such as fasteners, motors, and controllers are completely out of sight to maintain the sleek, sophisticated aesthetic that defines our products.
PROPRIETARY BEAM AND GUTTER SYSTEM designed as one piece for a seamless and leak-proof drainage solution.
WIDEST AND LONGEST LOUVERS available in the industry, measuring 10”wide x 15’ long. Our louvers let the full 10”width of light through when open and their longer length reduces the number of posts needed for larger spaces.
LARGEST SINGLE-ZONE SIZE, also unique in the industry, measures 22’10” x 22’10” and can be specified for the R-SHADE and R-BREEZE pergolas.
NO LIGHT GAPS are visible when our louvers are fully closed. Plus the louver blades sit flush to the gutters providing you with the ultimate in sun, rain and insect protection.
PRECISION ENGINEERING
CUSTOM CRAFTED and manufactured to your specifications within a 1/4” tolerance. All of our pergolas are also pre-cut and pre-drilled, reducing installation time to about 1 to 2 days.
STRENGTH AND DURABILITY you can count on because we use only premium aluminum, never recycled, that is free from contaminants, with durable powder-coated finishes that add to the longevity of your product.
CLIENT SERVICE
TURN-KEY SUPPORT is available throughout the entire process. From the initial pergola design phase through specification, estimating and sale, to permitting and installation, we’ll make sure you and your client have a seamless experience.
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY covers all aluminum structures, electronic components, and our powder coat finishes.
MADE-IN-AMERICA means quicker delivery and no customs fees. Plus you’ll get faster turnaround times when ordering parts, should you ever need them.
Environmental Stewardship
Our values and commitment extend beyond our passion for great design. Azenco minimizes their environmental footprint by using smart, eco-friendly manufacturing processes and materials, and by implementing waste-reduction measures that include recycling aluminum scrap and cardboard packaging. Plus Azenco products are designed to be easily reconfigured to your changing needs which extends the life of their products for a more sustainable outdoor living solution.
Azenco is also an active supporter of 4Oceans, a non-profit dedicated to ending the plastic crisis plaguing our oceans. As a Certified Cleanup Partner, Azenco has already helped clean up 25,000 pounds of plastic waste and debris from the oceans around Indonesia, an effort the company hopes to build on in the coming years.
