About
Outdoor living, built for Gainesville.
Gainesville is the oak-canopied home of the University of Florida — and that same inland character is exactly why outdoor living here demands products built to last. At SJB Outdoor Living, we help Gainesville homeowners extend their living space outdoors with custom louvered pergolas, exterior shades, exterior shutters, and retractable awnings engineered for hot, humid summers and sudden afternoon thunderstorms.
From homes throughout Haile Plantation, Duckpond, the Historic District, and Tioga to brand-new construction, every project starts with an in-home consultation, exact measurements, and an installation crew that treats your property like its own.

Louvered Pergolas in Gainesville, FL
A louvered pergola turns an exposed patio into a true outdoor room you can use almost year-round. With adjustable aluminum louvers, Gainesville homeowners get full control over sun, shade, and rain at the touch of a button — open the roof for a breeze, then close it tight when a afternoon storm rolls through. Built from powder-coated, corrosion-resistant aluminum and engineered for hot, humid summers and sudden afternoon thunderstorms, our motorized systems add integrated lighting, screens, and heaters so your space works from morning coffee to late-night entertaining.
Exterior Shades in Gainesville, FL
Exterior shades are one of the smartest upgrades for a Gainesville patio, lanai, or porch. Mounted on the outside of your opening, they stop heat and glare before it ever reaches the glass — keeping interiors cooler and protecting furnishings from fading. Our motorized zip-track shades seal at the edges to hold up against hot, humid summers and sudden afternoon thunderstorms, block insects, and create a comfortable, usable space even at midday. Choose from a range of openness factors and colors to keep your view while cutting the sun.
Exterior Shutters in Gainesville, FL
Exterior shutters bring lasting character and real protection to Gainesville homes. Whether you're after the classic look of Bahama shutters for shade and curb appeal or storm-rated shutters that lock down ahead of a severe storm, we offer durable, exterior-rated options built for hot, humid summers and sudden afternoon thunderstorms. Each set is custom-fabricated from corrosion-resistant materials, professionally installed with weather-tested hardware, and designed to complement your home's architecture.
Retractable Awnings in Gainesville, FL
A retractable awning extends your outdoor living area on demand — shade when you want it, open sky when you don't. Ideal for Gainesville patios and decks, our manual and motorized awnings unfurl to beat the midday sun, then retract out of the way to protect the fabric from hot, humid summers and sudden afternoon thunderstorms. Add wind and sun sensors for hands-free operation, and choose from a wide range of Sunbrella colors and patterns to match your home.
