What an aluminum pergola is - A framed outdoor structure made from powder-coated aluminum designed to provide shade and define outdoor space. - Available as attached to the home or freestanding in the yard or by the pool. - Can be built over patios, lanais, pool decks, outdoor kitchens, or lounge areas. Design options - Open-slat pergolas for filtered light and airflow. - Fixed solid-roof pergolas for more complete shade and rain protection. - Adjustable louvered pergolas where the roof slats tilt to control sun and shade. - Manual or motorized louvered systems, chosen based on span size, usage, and budget. - Multiple color and finish options, including wood-grain looks and modern neutrals. Benefits of aluminum pergolas - Built for Florida's climate: rust-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and not prone to warping, rotting, or termite damage. - Low maintenance: typically only require rinsing and occasional cleaning, without staining, sealing, or repainting. - Clean, modern appearance that complements a wide range of home styles. - Flexible layouts for patios, pool decks, side yards, and outdoor kitchens. Project timeline and process - Most aluminum pergola projects are typically completed within about 1–2 weeks once permitting is approved and materials are in place; more complex projects can take longer. - Pombo's handles the full process in-house, including: - On-site inspection and consultation. - Strategy, design, and 3D renderings. - Drafting, engineering, and local permitting. - On-site construction and coordination of final inspections. Financing - Financing options are available for aluminum pergola projects; details are discussed during the consultation stage. Pombo's designs and builds custom aluminum and screen structures for Florida outdoor living, primarily for residential properties and as a subcontractor for pool companies and general contractors. Core services - Screen enclosures and pool cages – Custom-built enclosures that protect pools and patios from insects, debris, and harsh weather while preserving airflow and views. - Lanais and screened porches – Roofed, screened outdoor rooms that extend the living space of the home and provide shaded, bug-free areas for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. - Aluminum pergolas – Attached or freestanding pergolas that provide shade and architectural definition for patios, lanais, pool decks, and outdoor kitchens. - Retractable screens – Manual or motorized retractable screen systems that provide on-demand shade, privacy, and insect protection for patios, lanais, garages, and other openings. - Pool enclosures – Screened structures around pools that provide safety, comfort, and reduced debris in the pool area. Additional services - Screen repairs and rescreens – Repairing damaged screen panels and full rescreening of existing enclosures and lanais. - Privacy screen installations – Screen options that increase privacy while still allowing airflow and light. - Concrete slabs and footers – Pouring and finishing concrete foundations and footers needed for enclosures, lanais, and pergolas. - Acrylic and latex finishes – Finishing options for ceilings and related surfaces in outdoor structures. Pombo's manages projects from initial concept through permitting, construction, and final inspection, using in-house crews rather than outsourcing installation. Pombo's installs custom retractable screen systems for homeowners across the Tampa Bay area and nearby communities, including Odessa, Lutz, Land O' Lakes, Wesley Chapel, and Clearwater. What retractable screens are - Screen systems that roll up into a compact housing when not in use and lower to provide shade, privacy, and insect protection when needed. - Suitable for spaces where a permanent enclosure is not desired, or where conditions (sun, wind, bugs) change throughout the day. Typical applications - Lanais and patios that need flexible shade and bug control. - Garage openings to create breezy workshop or hangout spaces. - Openings in or around existing pool enclosures. - Outdoor kitchens and seating areas that benefit from occasional wind and sun blocking. Manual and motorized options - Manual retractable screens for smaller openings or spaces used less frequently. - Motorized retractable screens for larger spans or high-use areas, operated by remote or wall switch; some systems can integrate with smart home setups. - Screens can be mounted to appear as a clean, built-in feature or retrofitted into many existing structures, depending on space and layout. Benefits and performance - Help reduce glare and solar heat while maintaining airflow. - Add privacy without fully blocking views. - Use high-tension mesh designed to roll smoothly and stay taut when extended. - Housing protects the screen when retracted, supporting a longer service life than many fixed panels. - Provide a barrier against insects and light wind or rain in covered areas, but are not a full waterproof wall. Installation time and maintenance - Most retractable screen installations can be completed in about one day once materials are ready and measurements are confirmed. - Maintenance is minimal: keeping tracks clean and occasionally rinsing the mesh is usually sufficient. Financing - Financing options are available for retractable screen projects; details are provided during the consultation.

What a screened lanai is - A roofed, open-air, screened space often attached to the back or side of a home. - Functions as an outdoor room for relaxing, dining, entertaining, or supervising the pool. - Can be built as a new structure with its own foundation and roof, or created by enclosing an existing covered patio, carport, or breezeway. Lanai design and material options - Powder-coated aluminum framing for low maintenance and durability in Florida's humidity. - Super Screen mesh or similar high-performance screen materials that resist UV damage, tearing, and wear from pets and debris. - Roof options such as insulated aluminum panels or traditional shingle-style roofs. - Optional wood-grain aluminum ceilings and finished concrete slabs. - Each enclosure is drawn in 2D and 3D before construction so homeowners can review and approve the design. Benefits of a screened lanai - Shaded, bug-free outdoor living space usable in most seasons. - Additional functional square footage without the cost of a full room addition. - Less debris on patios and around pools (fewer leaves, pine needles, and insects). - Increased privacy while maintaining airflow and natural light. - Potential improvement in curb appeal and resale attractiveness, especially in Florida. Typical locations for lanais - Rear patios that need shade and insect protection. - Side yards where extra privacy is desired. - Pool areas that require screen barriers. - Entryways that benefit from shade and screening. - Carports or breezeways converted into livable outdoor space. Project timeline and process - Most lanai projects typically take about 2–4 weeks, depending on size and complexity; projects involving new slabs, roof extensions, or structural changes may require additional time. - Pombo's manages: - On-site walkthrough and consultation. - Design, drafting, and 3D concepts. - Local permitting and coordination with building departments. - On-site installation and coordination of county inspections. Maintenance and financing - Screened lanais are generally low maintenance, with periodic rinsing of the screens and frame recommended. - Financing options are available; specific plans are reviewed during the consultation.
