The Challenge

The project site had native rocky soil that became a problem at depths beyond six feet. The original pier footing design required digging past that threshold, putting the project at risk before ground was even broken.

Our Solution

The team worked with a licensed PE to redesign the foundations using a spread footing approach, keeping excavation shallow enough to avoid the rocky layer entirely. While spread footings require a wider dig, they reduced overall project risk and kept the installation on track. The crew completed all three structures in just under six days, allowing the City of Mammoth Lakes to reopen the patio to residents quickly.

Rectangle Hip End Shade

A rectangle hip end shade provides full perimeter coverage with a sloped, multi-panel roof that sheds rain and snow load effectively. For high-elevation sites like Mammoth Creek Park, this structure type offers durable, year-round coverage while maintaining a clean, finished look over picnic and gathering areas.

Hanging Cantilever Shade

The rectangle hanging cantilever design suspends the shade fabric from above, keeping the ground below completely clear of posts and support columns. This open layout works well in recreation and picnic areas where unobstructed access and sightlines matter.

Glide Elbow Attachment

Each structure was fitted with glide elbow attachments, a hardware feature designed specifically for sites that experience heavy snow seasons. The glide elbow allows the shade fabric to be removed quickly and easily without tools, protecting the fabric during winter months and extending the life of the shade system.

I was born and raised in the Napa Valley area of Northern California. After living in several cities across the country, I’ve returned to my home state and now call Roseville home. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis and exploring the outdoors, as well as all things aviation related as I'm a commercially rated pilot. What I love most about this job is the opportunity to meet new people, visit unique places each week, and contribute to making a positive impact on the local community.
