StruXure Motorized Pergolas
Motorized louvered roofs that give you full sun, full shade, or a sealed roof at the touch of a button. Preferred StruXure Dealer for Austin.
A StruXure pergola is an aluminum structure with a motorized louvered roof — a set of extruded blades that rotate from fully open to fully sealed, so one structure gives you open sky, filtered shade, or a closed roof that sheds rain into gutters hidden inside the frame. Integrated screens, lighting, heaters, and smart-home controls turn it from a shade cover into a year-round outdoor room. Most visitors reach this product already sold on the louvered roof; the open question is who builds it well.
That is the part that decides how the finished structure looks and lasts. A louvered roof is only as good as its engineering and anchoring: the posts carry real wind and roof loads, the footings have to match your soil, and the drainage has to be set so water actually leaves the structure. XPRT Outdoor is StruXure's Preferred Dealer for Austin, which means StruXure routes its Austin inquiries to us as the local design-build team. We handle the sizing, the stamped plans, the permits, and the install as one accountable crew.
What XPRT handles as your installer
A StruXure structure is not a product you unbox — it is a permanent, engineered building element, and the install is where most of the value and most of the risk live. Our crews are factory-trained on the system, so the louvers seat and seal correctly, the gutters and posts drain the way they are designed to, and the motorization and controls are commissioned properly. We size the structure for your space, provide stamped engineering, and pull the permits from start to finish.
Because we design, build, and service the pergola as one team, there is no gap between the manufacturer, the installer, and the person you call later. StruXure stands behind the manufactured system; we add a local workmanship warranty on the build and are here in town if anything needs attention. That single line of accountability is the reason to have the Preferred Dealer install what StruXure makes.
How the system handles Texas weather
The frame and louvers are extruded aluminum with a powder-coat finish, so they do not rot, warp, or feed insects, and the finish holds its color under relentless sun. When the roof closes, the louvers seal against one another and channel rain into gutters integrated into the beams, then down through the posts and away from the slab — so a sudden Central Texas downpour stays off the furniture.
Wind is the load that matters most here, and it is engineered for. Each structure is sized and anchored for local wind loads, with footings set to your soil and connections detailed to hold. That engineering is exactly what a homeowner cannot see and cannot skip, and it is the difference between a louvered roof that rides out a storm and one that becomes a problem in it.
Sizing and siting your pergola
The first choice is attached or freestanding. Attaching to the house extends your existing living space and ties the roofline together; a freestanding structure lets you build a destination out in the yard or by the pool, away from the house. Span, orientation to the afternoon sun, and how the space connects to your interior all shape which platform and size fit best.
From there it is a matter of matching the accessories to how you actually plan to live outside — screens if bugs or privacy are the issue, heat and lighting if you want the evenings and cooler months, sensors if you would rather the roof manage itself. We walk the space with you and design the structure around the way you use it, not the other way around.
Common questions
A standard pergola has a fixed roof of rafters or slats that shades but never closes. StruXure's louvers rotate from open to fully sealed, so you can dial in sun or shade and shut the roof against rain, with water routed into gutters in the frame. It is a motorized, climate-controllable structure rather than a static one.
The product is the same StruXure system either way. StruXure covers the manufactured structure, and having it installed by a factory-trained crew to specification is what keeps that coverage intact. On top of it, we add a local workmanship warranty on the build so one team stands behind both the product and the installation.
Usually, yes. A permanent roofed structure with footings — and often electrical for lighting or motorization — typically requires a permit. We provide the stamped engineering and pull the approvals as part of the project so the structure is built to code.
Yes. When the louvers close they seal against one another and channel water into gutters integrated into the beams, then down through the posts. Pitched and drained correctly for our rainfall, a closed StruXure roof sheds a typical Central Texas storm and keeps the space underneath dry.
