Pergolas Sited Around What's Underground

Before a Nobleton Pergola Goes Up, We Find Out What's Underground
Many properties around Nobleton run on a well, and some on septic. Footings have to sit clear of both, which on some lots decides where the pergola can go before the design does. We locate them, and call Ontario One Call for everything else that's buried.
King Township is split between the TRCA and the LSRCA by watershed, so near a watercourse we check which authority applies. Then we build: footings below the frost line, and a cedar or treated frame.
Pergolas: Permits and What's Underground in Nobleton
On a Nobleton lot the first question is often what is under the lawn.
- Permit threshold
- A roofed accessory structure over 10 m² (about 108 sq ft) generally needs a building permit under the Ontario Building Code.
- Attached pergolas
- A pergola bolted to the house carries part of its load on the wall, so the ledger connection is treated as structural and properly flashed.
- Wells and septic
- Many properties around Nobleton run on a well, and some on septic. Footings are placed clear of the bed, the tank and the well.
- Watershed
- King Township is split between the TRCA and the LSRCA by watershed. Near a watercourse we confirm which one applies.
- Oak Ridges Moraine
- Where the moraine plan applies, it can limit where structures go.
- Footings
- Below the frost line (about 1.2 metres), in poured concrete.
- Before digging
- Call Ontario One Call on 1-800-400-2255 for locates. It is free, it is the law, and a fence line or footing is exactly where buried services turn up.
We locate what's buried before we decide where the structure goes.
