16'×16' gable picnic pavilion
In short
Mitchell Metals fabricated and installed a 16′ x 16′ gable picnic pavilion at Trillium Reserve in Fairburn, Georgia, for Brent Holdings. The structure is Bronze on 6×6 extruded aluminum posts and beams, sited beside the community playground as a shared gathering space.
Overview
The structure parents actually use
Trillium Reserve is a single-family community on Fayetteville Road in Fairburn, Georgia, in south Fulton County. The pavilion sits beside the playground, on a slab cut into the slope above it.
Why it is next to the playground and not the pool
A pavilion on its own is a photograph. A pavilion within sight of the play equipment is furniture. Parents sit under cover, children are twenty feet away and visible, and the amenity gets used on a Tuesday afternoon rather than twice a year at community events.
Sixteen by sixteen is the smallest footprint worth building for that job. It takes two picnic tables with room to walk between them, which is enough for several families at once without being a structure the community has to justify.
Gable, with the truss left showing
The roof is a gable with an exposed truss in each end. None of that is structurally necessary at sixteen feet — a flat canopy would carry the same load with less material. It is there because an amenity structure is looked at as well as stood under, and a pitched roof with visible framing reads as architecture rather than as a shelter in a car park.
The frame is extruded aluminum, so nothing rusts and nothing needs painting — which for an outdoor structure a hundred yards from the nearest hose is the difference between a maintenance item and a fixture. It is engineered to ASCE 7-16 wind and snow loads and designed to meet ADA and IBC requirements.

Questions
Frequently asked questions about this project
Who built the picnic pavilion at Trillium Reserve in Fairburn, GA?
Mitchell Metals, LLC of Marietta, Georgia manufactured and installed the 16' x 16' picnic pavilion at Trillium Reserve. The structure is Bronze on 6x6 extruded aluminum posts and beams.
Who is the builder of the Trillium Reserve community?
Trillium Reserve is a Brent Holdings community in Fairburn, Fulton County, Georgia, built by the Brent Holdings — Atlanta. A Georgia land development company and the developer of Trillium Reserve in Fairburn, south-west of Atlanta.
What are the specifications of the Trillium Reserve structure?
The structure is a gable picnic pavilion measuring 16' x 16', finished in Bronze. Posts and beams are 6x6 extruded aluminum. It is rated for ASCE 7-16 wind and snow loads and designed to meet ADA and IBC requirements.
What size picnic pavilion does a residential community need?
A 16' x 16' gable pavilion takes two picnic tables with room to move between them, which suits a single-family community of a few dozen to a couple of hundred homes. Larger communities move to 16' x 28' or beyond. Below sixteen feet square the structure stops holding more than one family at a time and the amenity argument weakens.
Does Mitchell Metals build amenity structures as well as mail covers?
Yes — picnic pavilions, bus stop covers, pool and playground shade, pickleball court shade, bench and bike rack covers, and walkway covers, all from the same pre-engineered extruded aluminum system as the CBU mail kiosk covers. Specifying them together is how a community ends up with structures that match. Call 470-870-7733.
Does Mitchell Metals serve builders in Fairburn and Fulton County?
Yes. Mitchell Metals is headquartered in Marietta, Georgia and serves home builders, land developers, general contractors, and architects nationally, including Fairburn and Fulton County, Georgia. Call 470-870-7733 for residential projects.
