Make Every Backyard Moment Count
Anyone who has spent a summer in Northern Illinois knows that the weather rarely cooperates on a schedule. One afternoon, it's sunny and still, and by evening, you're chasing a pop-up storm. A great outdoor living environment needs to handle it all without asking you to pack everything up and head inside. That's what Cabana X was built to do.
Designed by StruXure and installed locally by our team at StruXure Northshore, the Cabana X is a premium outdoor structure that combines durable materials, smart technology, and a flexible modular system. Poolside, on a patio, or anywhere in between, it turns an underused corner of your property into a place worth gathering around.
Two Models, One Premium Standard
Every Cabana X is built on the same dependable aluminum frame with a Premium Powder Coat Finish and stainless steel hardware throughout. From there, the choice comes down to two models, each suited to a slightly different vision for how the space will be used.
Both configurations are built to last in challenging outdoor conditions and are ready to accept accessories and modular panels from the start. The deciding factor is really just how much you want technology involved in your outdoor setup.
Cabana X Core
The Core model is a perfect fit for homeowners who want a high-performing structure without extra complexity. The standout feature is a set of motorized adjustable louvers that run across the canopy, powered by Somfy and controlled through a handheld remote. Open them to let sunlight in, angle them to catch shade, or close them when rain moves in.
The aluminum frame holds up well against temperature swings and moisture, and the stainless steel hardware keeps every connection point secure over time. Installation is non-invasive and works with patios, decks, and poolside areas without requiring major modifications.
Every Core unit includes the following as standard:
4 Posts + 4 Beams + 17 Louvers
Premium Powder Coat Finish
Motorized Adjustable Louvers
Easy Power Plug Post Height Adjustment
Stainless Steel Hardware
Modular Configuration Ready
Enhancement Ready
The Core is designed to be a strong foundation, and its modular compatibility means you can build on it whenever you're ready.
Cabana X Core+
Core+ takes everything in the Core and adds a layer of innovative features for homeowners who use their outdoor setting after dark or for entertaining. Lighting and connectivity are built into the structure rather than added on as an afterthought, so the result feels intentional and polished.
In addition to all Core features, Core+ includes:
Controlled LED Lights
Color Changing Lights
Wi-Fi Hotspot Capabilities
Simple Remote Management
If you host gatherings, spend evenings outside, or simply want more control over your environment, Core+ makes that easy. Everything runs from a smartphone or tablet, and the added features integrate cleanly with the existing structure rather than cluttering the design.
Complete Your Outdoor Retreat
Cabana X arrives as a fully functional outdoor structure, and the accessory system lets you build on it as your needs evolve. Each add-on is designed to integrate with the cabana's existing frame, so nothing looks like it was tacked on later.
Screens offer insect protection and partial enclosure, outdoor heaters push the usable season into cooler fall and early spring weather, fans keep air moving on warm days, and integrated speakers bring music or entertainment into the mix. Together, these options allow the cabana to serve as a year-round outdoor room rather than a seasonal structure.
Mix, Match, & Adapt with the Cabana MOD System
One of the things that makes Cabana X so adaptable is the MOD system, a modular framework that lets homeowners customize the sides and canopy of their structure. Not every backyard is laid out the same way, and not every homeowner wants the same balance of shade, privacy, and open air. The MOD system addresses that by offering several panel types that can be mixed and matched to suit your home.
Available panel options include:
Louver: Adjustable slats that give you ongoing control over shade and privacy
Slat: Fixed horizontal panels for a luxurious architectural look
Tilt: Angled panels that manage light direction and encourage airflow
Canvas: Fabric infill that adds shelter and a softer visual texture
Monogram: Customized panels for branding or personalization
Open: A fully open-air configuration for maximum ventilation
These aren't just aesthetic choices. Each panel type serves a specific purpose, and selecting the right combination for your yard can meaningfully improve the comfort and usability of the space. We can walk you through the options during the estimate process to help you land on a configuration that fits your layout and your lifestyle.
