Pergolas, Patio Covers & Outdoor Structures
Add shade, style, and comfort to your outdoor space with custom pergolas and patio covers.
Why Add a Pergola or Patio Cover?
Florida sun is intense. Without shade, your patio or deck can get too hot to use during the day. You end up staying inside instead of enjoying your outdoor space.
A pergola or patio cover solves that problem. You get shade and protection from the sun while still enjoying the outdoors. You can host barbecues, relax with a book, or just sit outside without feeling like you're baking.
At EnclosePro Alafaya Sunrooms & Patios, we design and build custom pergolas, patio covers, and outdoor structures. We use materials that can handle Florida's weather, from heavy rain to strong winds. And we make sure everything looks great and complements your home's style.
Types of Outdoor Structures We Build
We offer several options depending on how much shade you want and how you plan to use your outdoor space.
Popular outdoor structures:
- •Pergolas: Open-roof structures with beams and rafters that provide partial shade. They're perfect if you want some sun but not full exposure. You can add climbing plants for extra shade and style.
- •Solid patio covers: Fully covered structures that block sun and rain. Great for creating a usable outdoor space that stays dry even during Florida's afternoon thunderstorms.
- •Louvered patio covers: Adjustable roofs that let you control how much sun gets through. Open the louvers for sun and fresh air, close them for full shade and rain protection.
- •Pavilions: Freestanding structures with a solid roof and open sides. Perfect for creating an outdoor living room or dining area away from the house.
- •Attached patio covers: Covers that attach directly to your home and extend over your patio or deck. They create a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living.
Benefits of Pergolas and Patio Covers
Adding a pergola or patio cover does more than just provide shade. Here's what you gain:
More usable outdoor space: With shade and protection, you can actually use your patio or deck during the day. No more waiting until evening when the sun goes down.
Lower cooling costs: A patio cover shades your home's exterior walls and windows. This reduces heat gain and can lower your air conditioning costs, especially if your patio faces west or south.
Furniture protection: Outdoor furniture fades and deteriorates when exposed to constant sun and rain. A patio cover protects your investment and keeps your furniture looking good longer.
Increased home value: Well-designed outdoor structures boost curb appeal and make your home more attractive to buyers. People love outdoor living spaces, especially in Florida. If you want even more protection, consider our patio enclosure services or screen room options for bug-free outdoor living.
