Pergolas
Pergolas and shade structures
Shade is what makes a Florida backyard usable in July. A well-placed pergola defines the space, cuts direct sun and adds architectural weight to a flat yard.
- Wood, aluminum and louvered options
- Engineered for wind loads
- Integrated lighting and fans
- Matched to your home's architecture
Choosing the structure
Traditional wood pergolas offer warmth and detail; powder-coated aluminum needs almost no maintenance; adjustable louvered covers let you dial shade in and shed rain entirely.
- Cedar and treated wood
- Aluminum low-maintenance frames
- Adjustable louvered roofs
- Attached or freestanding
Placement is the whole design
We look at afternoon sun angles, prevailing breeze, sightlines from inside the house and how the structure relates to the pool and kitchen before setting posts.
Built for Florida weather
Footings, hardware and connections are specified for local wind requirements, and permitting is coordinated where the scope calls for it.
Questions
Frequently asked
