At StruXure, we partner with a nationwide network of independent Dealers who specialize in designing and installing our custom Pergola X systems. Because each Dealer understands the unique climate, codes, and architectural styles of their region, they’re equipped to offer tailored guidance and services specific to your project.
To make the most of your outdoor space (and ensure your Pergola X is exactly what you envision), it’s helpful to ask the right questions upfront. Here are the key topics to cover as you begin your conversation with your local StruXure Dealer.
How will the system handle rain, wind, and snow in my area?
StruXure pergolas are engineered and ICC-certified to withstand a range of weather conditions. Each system features an integrated gutter system to efficiently manage rainwater. For added protection, optional rain and wind sensors can automatically close the louvers at the first sign of rain or open them during high wind speeds, helping to safeguard your pergola even when you are not around.
For regions prone to more extreme weather events like hurricanes or blizzards, your local Dealer can provide tailored recommendations based on your specific setup. This guidance is especially important to ensure the pergola’s integrity and accessories, such as retractable screens, remain undamaged.
What water management solutions do you offer?
Our pergolas feature a patented gutter system that efficiently channels rainwater away from your home, pool, patio, and other key areas. However, some installation locations, especially those attached to a home, may present unique water management challenges.
Discussing details like the pitch and placement of your pergola with your Dealer can help you identify the best solution to ensure water is properly directed and doesn’t pool or drain toward unwanted areas.

What features or accessories do customers often wish they had included from the start?
Sometimes we hear from customers who wish they had included certain accessories during their initial Pergola X build, like fans, heaters, lighting, or motorized screens. Fortunately, many of these features can be added later if you choose to start with a simpler setup.
That said, some changes are not always possible depending on your design or layout. Be sure to talk with your Dealer about which accessories you are considering and whether it makes more sense to include them during the initial installation or plan for them down the line.
What are my color and finish options? Can I see samples?
Pergola X is available in six standard colors: white, beige, adobe, gray, bronze, and black. For a more customized look, you can also choose from a wide range of premium options, including realistic woodgrain finishes, available at an additional cost. All colors are applied using a chemical-textured powder coating process, which delivers a durable, scratch-resistant surface with a sleek matte finish.
Ask your dealer about providing sample colors during your in-person visit to find the best color to complement your home.
How will I control the pergola and accessories?
You can operate Pergola X using Somfy, Bond, or other compatible mobile apps. If a Wi-Fi outage occurs, you can still control the louvers and accessories using a handheld remote.
However, it’s important to note that the system requires power to function. If power loss is a concern for you, talk to your Dealer about backup options. They can help you find the best solution for your needs.

What does the installation process involve?
Installation can vary significantly depending on your location, project size, and where the pergola will be installed. Pergola X systems are highly versatile and can be mounted on patios, rooftops, decks, concrete slabs, landscaped areas, and more. Your Dealer will evaluate your space to determine the best foundation and mounting method to ensure long-term stability and performance.
Installation timelines can also differ depending on permitting requirements, site prep, accessories, and weather conditions. Be sure to ask your Dealer for a project timeline, what site preparation may be needed in advance, and if there will be any disruption to your yard, business, or daily routine during installation.
How does your pricing work? How much does it cost?
Because each StruXure Dealer is independently owned and operated, pricing varies. Factors like installation complexity, labor costs, regional market rates, and selected accessories all play a role. As the manufacturer, StruXure does not set or control Dealer pricing.
That’s why it’s important to ask your Dealer for a detailed quote so that you have a clear understanding of all costs and can make informed decisions about your project. You should also inquire about any available financing options to help make your pergola project more manageable within your budget.
What maintenance do we need to keep the system performing and looking great?
StruXure systems are designed to be low maintenance, requiring minimal effort to keep them looking and performing their best. Our advanced powder coating process makes the finish highly durable, easy to clean, and resistant to dirt, debris, and weathering.
Your Dealer can provide maintenance tips and best practices to help extend the life of your system. Some Dealers may also offer ongoing service or seasonal maintenance packages, so be sure to ask what’s available in your area.

Can we expand or modify the system in the future?
Yes. Many clients choose to expand their Pergola X over time, whether to add more covered space in a later phase, work within a phased budget, or simply because they decide to cover more of their outdoor area in the years that follow.
Discuss your expansion plans with your Dealer to ensure the project is designed for easier construction and seamless planning in the future.
What kind of support do you provide after installation?
Support doesn’t stop once your pergola is installed. Many StruXure Dealers offer post-installation services such as cleaning, seasonal maintenance visits, or troubleshooting assistance. Availability may vary by Dealer, so be sure to ask what ongoing support options are offered in your area, especially if you would like help maintaining your system over time.
Investing in a Pergola X is more than just enhancing your outdoor space. It’s about creating a personalized, long-lasting environment tailored to your lifestyle or business needs. By asking the right questions up front, you will feel more confident in your decisions and better equipped to take full advantage of what StruXure has to offer.
Your local Dealer is committed to supporting you at every stage of your project. They will guide you from design and customization to installation and care. Don’t hesitate to lean on their expertise to help you bring your vision to life.
