Experience Outdoor Living Like Never Before
Most homeowners don't think about a pergola until they've had one too many summers of retreating indoors because of the heat, rain, or glare. There's a certain frustration that comes with having outdoor space you can't fully use, and a standard umbrella or shade sail only goes so far. The Pergola X by StruXure is a more permanent answer to that problem.
Its motorized louvers, weatherproof aluminum frame, and variety of accessories are designed to give you control over your outdoor environment, no matter the forecast. StruXure Northshore is the Chicago market's official authorized partner, and we're here to help you figure out what that looks like for your property.
Five Designs, Endless Possibilities
No two backyards are the same, and the Pergola X lineup reflects that. We offer five distinct models, each designed to handle a specific setting, use case, or aesthetic. Here's a look at what each one brings to the table:
Pergola X Models
Pivot 6
The Pivot 6 is where most homeowners start, and for good reason. Its 6-inch aluminum louvers rotate up to 170 degrees, giving you hands-on control over how much light, shade, and airflow you want at any given moment. On a bright July afternoon, you can close the louvers for deep shade. On a mild fall morning, open them up and let the warmth in. When rain rolls through unexpectedly, the Pivot 6 keeps your gathering going.
It's a well-rounded, versatile system for small to mid-sized residential areas, and its combination of performance and value makes it the most popular model in the lineup.
Pivot 6 Slide
The Pivot 6 Slide builds on everything the standard model offers by adding a retractable roof. Beyond louver rotation, the sliding mechanism allows the overhead panels to open fully, providing an unobstructed view of the sky.
This model is ideal for homeowners who want the flexibility to shift between covered and open-air settings throughout the day. Close it up when clouds move in, slide it back for stargazing, and adjust the louvers for everything in between.
Pivot 6 XL
When the space is larger, the standard model may not be enough. The Pivot 6 XL is built for expansive residential decks and small commercial terraces, handling up to 3 times the rain flow of the base model thanks to a reinforced aluminum frame and an enhanced drainage system.
The motorized louvers offer the same precise control you'd expect from any Pergola X, but the structure beneath is built to withstand heavier weather loads. If you have a wide patio or run an outdoor dining area that needs reliable coverage, the XL is designed with you in mind.
Pivot 6 Max
The Pivot 6 Max features the world's longest aluminum louver, engineered to span vast outdoor environments without additional interior supports. This opens up a world of possibilities for large-scale patios, open-air commercial terraces, and residential properties where uninterrupted coverage is a must.
The Max model doesn't sacrifice style for size, either. It handles the scale without sacrificing the sleek look the rest of the lineup is known for.
Pan 6
Not every homeowner wants moving parts. If you're looking for a permanent roof with an architectural presence, the Pan 6 delivers exactly that. Its fixed aluminum ceiling panels require no motor, no adjustments, and minimal upkeep, making it a low-maintenance solution for year-round coverage.
The Pan 6 creates a true outdoor room feel, with solid overhead protection and clean lines that complement almost any home exterior. It also holds up well in Northern Illinois winters, resisting the freeze-thaw damage that wood alternatives can't avoid.
Accessories That Adapt to Your Life
The Pergola X is a strong foundation, but the accessories are what turn a covered backyard into somewhere you actually want to spend time. Every add-on is designed to integrate seamlessly into the pergola's frame, so nothing looks bolted on or out of place.
There are quite a few ways to customize your setup:
Louvers: Additional louver configurations let you fine-tune how your pergola manages sunlight, airflow, and shade throughout the day.
Lighting: Dimmable LED fixtures are built directly into the frame for a polished look, ready for evening entertaining, with no exposed wiring.
Fans: Motorized ceiling fans keep air moving during warm months, so your outdoor space stays comfortable even on the hottest summer days.
Heaters: Bromic Heating units extend your outdoor season into the cooler months. Paired with screens or enclosures, they make year-round use practical.
Speakers: Sonance audio systems integrate into the structure with concealed wiring, delivering immersive sound for gatherings large and small.
Screens: Motorized screens offer privacy, wind blocking, sun control, and insect protection at the touch of a button.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing depends on the model, size, site conditions, and any accessories you choose to include. A large Pivot 6 Max installation will naturally be priced higher than a smaller residential Pivot 6. We recommend scheduling a consultation so we can give you a personalized estimate.
Absolutely. The aluminum construction resists freeze-thaw cycles, handles ice loads, and withstands wind without warping, cracking, or rotting. It was built to perform in climates like ours.
That depends on the scope of the project and the conditions on your site. Residential installations are typically faster than larger commercial projects. Your consultant will provide a more accurate timeline during the planning phase.
Requirements vary by municipality and by the size and type of structure being installed. We handle the permitting guidance as part of the process, so you won't need to navigate that alone.
