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?
The R-BLADE is available in both wall-mount and freestanding configurations. Wall-mount installations attach the structure to an exterior wall of the home using a ledger system — the most common configuration for installations adjacent to the home's back door or sliding door. Freestanding installations use four posts and no wall attachment — appropriate for locations away from the home's exterior wall, for decks where wall attachment is not structurally feasible, or for commercial applications. FSI assesses the site conditions during the initial consultation to determine which configuration is appropriate. Wall attachment requires a structural connection to the home's framing, and FSI confirms the wall assembly and structural backing before specifying a wall-mount configuration.
Yes — the K-BANA's wall and partition system is a core design feature of the product. Fixed louvered wall panels provide permanent semi-enclosed sides with consistent airflow and privacy. Sliding louvered wall panels can be opened fully for an open-air feel and closed partially or fully for shade and wind protection. Plain wall panels close the sides completely for maximum enclosure. These wall options can be combined — a K-BANA installation might have a solid back wall, sliding louvered panels on the sides, and an open front, creating a cabana profile that suits a specific site orientation or privacy requirement. MagnaTrack motorized screens can also be added to K-BANA structures in place of or in addition to fixed wall panels for motorized side enclosure.
Most pergola installations in Washington State require a building permit, and FSI handles permit coordination as part of every project. Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction — Snohomish County, King County, and individual city jurisdictions each have their own thresholds for when permits are required based on structure size, mounting type, and whether electrical is involved. FSI's team manages the permit application, coordinates with inspectors, and ensures all work is completed to the specifications required for final sign-off. Customers who attempt to install a pergola without permits face problems at resale, potential liability exposure, and the cost of retroactive permit applications. FSI does not perform unpermitted work. The permit process is managed by FSI, added to the project timeline at the proposal stage, and closed out with all required sign-offs before the project is complete.
Yes — FSI manages both the deck and pergola installation under one contract, which means the deck is designed and built with the pergola in mind from the first day. The deck is designed with the right post footings, beam sizing, and ledger connection to support the pergola's structural requirements. A deck designed without knowing the pergola will go on it may have footings insufficient for the combined load and framing that conflicts with the pergola post locations. FSI's design process covers both systems simultaneously so the finished result is an integrated outdoor platform.
Yes — this is FSI's most significant operational advantage in the outdoor living market. FSI's founding team built 20 years of alarm system, low-voltage wiring, and smart home integration experience before installing their first pergola. The outdoor structure and the technology layer are not handled by separate teams. FSI's team understands how the pergola is framed, where the cable channels run inside the posts and beams, what the electrical capacity of the structure is, and how every technology component needs to be positioned relative to the structure's geometry. The outdoor living contractor who subcontracts technology to an AV company that has never been on site produces cable runs on the outside of the frame, heaters wired to the wrong breaker, and speakers placed for subcontractor convenience rather than listening position. FSI owns both the structure and the technology installation, which is why the finished result looks and performs differently.
