SERVICES / PERGOLAS
FSI designs and builds complete outdoor living spaces for Puget Sound homeowners. One team. Pergola, kitchen, screens, and more — designed and built by one team that manages every trade in-house or through vetted partners.

the difference
A kit from a catalog is not a solution for the Pacific Northwest. FSI specifies and builds Azenco systems that are engineered for high wind loads, heavy rain, and the specific structural requirements of your property. We do not just assemble a box; we build the foundation for your entire outdoor room.

Every Azenco system uses the same 6060-T6 powder-coated aluminum and concealed hardware. The difference is how the roof behaves.

Freestanding modular pergola with manual louvers. No permit required in most Puget Sound jurisdictions.

The flagship system. Motorized louvers that seal against rain and open to sun on demand. Rain sensors close automatically.

Consistent shade and airflow with no moving parts. Patented screwless assembly and architectural fixed-slat design.

Solid insulated roof panels for maximum weather protection and temperature control. Solar panel compatible.
WHICH SYSTEM IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
R-BLADE adjusts to the conditions on demand.
R-BREEZE holds the perfect angle every day.
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET
Every Azenco system FSI installs is specified for Pacific Northwest conditions. Here is what that means for how you use your space.
01 · BENEFIT
Not just July and August. The right structure overhead means October is not the end of your outdoor season.
02 · BENEFIT
Sealed louvers and integrated gutters route water through the posts to grade. No dripping. No pooling. No going inside.
03 · BENEFIT
Open for full sun. Closed for full protection. Every position in between, on demand from your phone.
04 · BENEFIT
Factory-finished aluminum. Concealed fasteners. No exposed bolts or cover plates. Clean lines from every angle.
05 · BENEFIT
Screens, kitchen, lighting, and heaters all mount to the same structure. Get the pergola right and the rest of the build follows.
From the first site visit to the final walkthrough, FSI manages every trade and every detail of your outdoor space.
01 / 03
Most contractors build one piece of the space. FSI can design and build the entire outdoor room — pergola, kitchen, screens, heaters, lighting, and AV — as one cohesive system, coordinating with vetted contractors if needed.
02 / 03
No contractor coordination. No missed handoffs. No blame-shifting when something does not fit. FSI manages every trade, employs the people doing the work, or subs out to vetted partners.
03 / 03
FSI has been operating in this market since 2005. This climate, these jurisdictions, these materials. Not a new dealer figuring it out. A team with over 340 completed projects.
From First Call to Finished Space

One call. Describe what you are looking to build. FSI asks the right questions about your property, sun exposure, and how the space gets used.

FSI comes to your property. Full assessment of the space. 3D renderings of the pergola, kitchen, and screens so you see the finished room before any work begins.

Complete written scope covering every trade. One price. You approve before anything is ordered or manufactured.

Your structure is custom manufactured. FSI coordinates all permitting, materials, and schedules the installation team.

Our team handles every element. Structure, screens, kitchen, and lighting installed by the same people. The space is ready to use.
QUESTIONS?
Yes — heater installation is one of the most common standalone or add-on services FSI provides. The requirements for adding a heater to an existing structure are: an adequate mounting surface (beam, post, or wall), sufficient ceiling height for the heater's minimum mounting distance, and electrical capacity at the panel for a new heater circuit. FSI assesses all three during a site visit before any proposal is written. Most existing covered patios and pergolas can accommodate at least one to two ceiling-mount infrared heaters with minor electrical work — a new circuit from the panel and a junction box at the mounting location. FSI handles all electrical work in-house, including the permit application for the new circuit where required.
Yes — and it is the right way to build an outdoor kitchen in this climate. An exposed outdoor kitchen without covered overhead protection is a rain-damaged appliance within a few years. FSI designs the kitchen as part of the covered space rather than as a standalone unit dropped into an existing footprint. The kitchen wraps the pergola post. The countertop aligns with the structure height. The stone facing on the kitchen matches the material on the fire pit or the hardscape below. This level of integration is only possible when the kitchen and the structure are designed and built by the same team.
Yes — FSI designs the deck and pergola as an integrated system rather than two separate projects. A deck that is going to support a pergola needs post footings, beam sizing, and joist depth engineered for the additional load from the start — not retrofitted after the deck is already built. Customers who build a deck with one contractor and add a pergola with another often discover that the original deck framing needs reinforcement at the post locations before the pergola can go up — a cost and schedule disruption that a combined engagement avoids entirely. FSI's design process specifies the deck structure with the pergola load requirements built in from the beginning.
Yes — FSI can scope a phased project and has completed multi-phase engagements where the pergola and deck are built in one year and the kitchen, technology, and lighting are added in a subsequent phase. Phasing works best when it is planned from the beginning rather than decided after the first phase is complete. Planned phasing means the first phase is designed with the future phases in mind — the deck is engineered for the kitchen weight, the pergola framing includes the cable channels for future technology, and the structural footprint accommodates the kitchen dimensions. Unplanned phasing — where the homeowner decides to add a kitchen to an existing pergola that was not designed for it — often requires modifications to the existing work that would have been unnecessary if phasing had been planned at the start. Contact FSI during the initial consultation to discuss how phasing can work for your project and timeline.
Yes — a pergola can be added to an existing deck as long as the deck structure is engineered to support the additional load. FSI conducts a structural assessment of the existing deck before any proposal is written. The key factors are the deck's framing depth, the condition of the ledger connection to the house, the post-and-footing system below, and whether the existing structure can accept the pergola's post footprint. In most cases, existing decks need minor reinforcement at the post locations, which FSI includes in the project scope. Adding a pergola to an existing deck is one of the most common project types FSI handles. The outcome is a covered outdoor room built on a platform you already own, extending the usable outdoor season from three months to nine months or more.
