Frequently Asked Questions
StruXure pergolas feature motorized, adjustable louvers that rotate open or closed at the touch of a button. This allows you to control sunlight, shade, airflow, and rain protection instantly. When open, the louvers invite in light and fresh air; when closed, they form a watertight roof system that channels rain through internal gutters and down the posts—keeping the space below dry and usable.
StruXure systems are highly customizable to fit both your lifestyle and your home architecture. Options include motorized or manual louver operation, integrated LED lighting with dimmable color-temperature options, radiant heaters for cooler weather, retractable screens for wind and insects, smart controls via remote, app, or home automation, multiple color and finish options, and custom sizing and post placement. Every pergola is designed specifically for your space.
Yes. When the louvers are fully closed, StruXure pergolas are engineered to be rain-tight. Water is directed into an integrated gutter system and safely dispersed through the posts. They are also designed to handle snow loads when properly engineered for your region, making them an excellent solution for Western New York.
StruXure pergolas are built from aircraft-grade aluminum, which provides exceptional resistance to rust, corrosion, and weather-related wear. The motorized louver system is designed for reliable, long-term performance through heat, cold, rain, and snow. These structures are engineered to meet or exceed local building codes for wind and snow loads.
StruXure pergolas are constructed from aluminum and are available in a variety of powder-coated color finishes. Options typically include classic neutrals, modern dark tones, and custom color matching. The aluminum construction means no painting, staining, or sealing is ever required—just occasional cleaning to maintain appearance.
Yes. StruXure offers a manufacturer warranty covering the structural components and motorized louver system. Warranty terms are product- and component-specific, and we walk you through the full details during the consultation and design process. As an authorized dealer and installer, we also provide our own workmanship warranty on all installations.
Due to the custom nature of the product, there is no one-size-fits-all pricing approach. Pricing varies based on size, features, and site conditions. Factors that affect cost include overall size and configuration, motorized vs. manual operation, lighting, heaters, screens, and smart controls, as well as installation complexity and site preparation. We provide clear, detailed estimates so you understand exactly what is included and why.
Installation typically includes site evaluation and design coordination, proper structural anchoring and foundation work, electrical integration for motors, lighting, and heaters, professional assembly and calibration of the system, and a final walkthrough and operation guidance. Our goal is a seamless, turn-key experience from design through completion.
Yes. StruXure pergolas can be installed over existing patios, decks, roofs, and outdoor living spaces, and they can be freestanding or attached depending on your layout and structure. During the design phase, we assess your existing surfaces to ensure they can properly support the system.
Maintenance is minimal. Occasional cleaning with mild soap and water is typically all that is needed. We recommend keeping gutters clear of debris, rinsing off pollen or dust seasonally, and checking moving components annually. Because the structure is aluminum, there is no staining, sealing, or repainting required.
StruXure pergolas are designed for long-term durability and everyday use. The aluminum construction and high-quality motorized components resist weather damage far better than traditional wood pergolas. With proper installation and basic maintenance, these systems maintain both their performance and appearance for many years—making them a smart, long-term investment in outdoor living.
