Outdoor Living
A pergola should do more than add shade. It should make the outdoor space feel like it was designed as part of the property from the beginning.
1st Choice Building Solutions provides customizable pergola systems for homeowners, custom builders and residential projects throughout Southwest Florida. From poolside environments in Naples to backyard renovations in Fort Myers, our team helps select the structure, roof style and configuration based on how the finished outdoor area needs to function.

Educational Overview
Modern pergolas go far beyond the traditional open-beam backyard structure.
Depending on the system selected, a pergola can offer adjustable louvers, fixed overhead coverage, architectural shade or a freestanding modular design.
The result is an outdoor space designed around how the property is actually used, whether that means outdoor dining, a poolside lounge, an outdoor kitchen or a more comfortable entertaining area.
Explore Your Options
R-BLADE uses an adjustable louvered roof to give users more control over sunlight and overhead coverage.
This type of system is especially useful when the outdoor space needs to adapt throughout the day.
Good fit for pool decks, outdoor dining, outdoor kitchens, custom homes and high-end outdoor living areas.
R-SHADE uses insulated roof panels to provide consistent overhead coverage.
It is a strong choice when dependable shade and a more continuously covered outdoor area are the priority.
R-BREEZE uses fixed louvers in angled or vertical configurations to create architectural shade and visual definition.
It can be an effective choice when the design goal is consistent shade with a distinctive structural appearance.
K-BANA offers a freestanding modular approach with sliding louvered panels.
It can create a defined outdoor destination without needing to feel like a conventional attached patio structure.
Placement
The relationship between the pergola and the home is another major design consideration.
An attached system can extend directly from the architecture of the home, making patios and outdoor kitchens feel more connected to interior living areas.
Freestanding structures allow greater flexibility in positioning and can create destinations around pools, gardens or larger backyards.
Key Benefits
Make pool decks, patios and outdoor dining spaces more comfortable during Southwest Florida’s sunniest periods.
A pergola adds structure to an outdoor area and helps establish a clear space for dining, relaxing or entertaining.
Different roof systems and configurations let the structure respond to how much shade, openness and weather coverage are desired.
A thoughtfully selected pergola can complement contemporary, coastal and transitional home designs.
New Construction & Renovation
For custom construction, planning the structure alongside the architecture and outdoor layout can create a much more integrated finished result.

Local Expertise
Outdoor living is central to how properties are designed throughout Southwest Florida.
In Naples, pergolas are often incorporated into high-end pool decks, custom homes and larger outdoor entertainment spaces. In Fort Myers, they can be equally effective for transforming existing patios and backyards into more defined, usable environments.
The right structure should consider sun exposure, desired coverage, surrounding architecture and how people will move through the finished space.
