Pergolas&ShadeStructures
in Sarasota, FL & Surrounding Areas
Beat the Florida sun with custom shade. We install motorized louvered pergolas that adjust for sun or rain at the touch of a button, cedar arbors, and aluminum pavilions engineered to withstand hurricane winds. Our motorized pergolas rotate louvers up to 140 degrees for full sun, partial shade, or a 100% waterproof rain seal. Automatic rain sensors close the louvers instantly when rain begins, even if you are not home. We also build custom cedar and cypress wood arbors for a more natural, traditional look. Every structure includes integrated LED lighting, ceiling fans, and optional retractable side screens for a complete outdoor comfort solution.
