Pergolas, Patio Covers & Outdoor Structures
Expand your outdoor living space with custom pergolas, patio covers, and shade structures.
Your deck or patio becomes much more usable when you add shade and weather protection. At NorthRidge Deltona Deck Builder, we design and build custom pergolas, patio covers, and outdoor structures that extend your living space and make your backyard more comfortable throughout the year in Deltona, FL.
Whether you want a simple pergola for filtered shade, a solid roof for full protection, or a complete outdoor room, we have the expertise to bring your vision to life. These structures add value to your home while creating outdoor spaces you will use and enjoy more often.
Types of Outdoor Structures We Build
We offer several types of outdoor structures, each with unique benefits and aesthetic qualities:
Pergolas
Pergolas feature open rafters that create partial shade through dappled sunlight. They define outdoor spaces architecturally without blocking views or breezes. Pergolas work beautifully over decks, patios, or walkways. You can add climbing plants for more shade or install retractable canopies for adjustable coverage. Pergolas offer excellent value and can be built to match any architectural style.
Solid Roof Patio Covers
Patio covers with solid roofs provide complete protection from sun and rain. They typically match your home's roofing material for seamless integration. Solid covers allow you to use your outdoor space in any weather and protect furniture from the elements. They can incorporate ceiling fans, lighting, and even speakers for enhanced functionality.
Louvered Roof Systems
Adjustable louver systems give you control over light and ventilation. Rotate louvers to let sun in or create complete shade. Some systems are motorized for easy adjustment. Louvered roofs offer the versatility of both open and covered spaces in one structure. They represent a premium option with maximum flexibility.
Gazebos
Freestanding gazebos create defined outdoor rooms separate from your house. They typically feature solid roofs and open sides with optional screens or curtains. Gazebos work well as focal points in yards and gardens. They provide shelter for hot tubs, outdoor dining areas, or quiet sitting spaces.
Pavilions
Pavilions are larger freestanding structures with solid roofs supported by posts. They create substantial covered areas for outdoor kitchens, entertainment spaces, or pool cabanas. Pavilions can be designed to match your home's architecture and become extensions of your living space.
Shade Sails
Modern shade sails use tensioned fabric stretched between anchor points to create contemporary shade solutions. They offer design flexibility and can cover irregular spaces that traditional structures cannot. Shade sails are relatively affordable and create striking visual statements.
Benefits of Outdoor Shade Structures
Adding a pergola or patio cover to your outdoor space provides numerous advantages:
- •Extended Usability: Shade makes outdoor spaces comfortable during hot Florida afternoons. Covered areas remain usable during light rain.
- •UV Protection: Shade structures protect your family from harmful sun exposure. You can enjoy outdoors longer without sunburn risk.
- •Furniture Protection: Covered areas keep outdoor furniture from fading and deteriorating in direct sun and weather.
- •Temperature Control: Shade structures can lower deck surface temperatures by 20 degrees or more, making spaces more comfortable.
- •Defined Spaces: Structures create visual boundaries that define different activity zones in your yard.
- •Architectural Interest: Well-designed structures add character and curb appeal to your property.
- •Increased Home Value: Quality outdoor structures provide good return on investment when you sell your home.
- •Entertainment Enhancement: Covered spaces are perfect for hosting gatherings regardless of weather conditions.
Our Design and Build Process
Every outdoor structure we build is custom-designed for your specific space and needs. Here's how we work with you:

Material Selection
Choose from various materials including natural wood, composite, vinyl, or aluminum. We help you select options that balance appearance, durability, maintenance requirements, and budget. We explain the pros and cons of each choice.
