Pergola Companies: How Does StruXure Stack Up to the Competition


There are many aluminum pergola manufacturers whose products improve comfort and usability - but not all are created equal. Differences between models make thorough research essential to lasting happiness with your investment. How does StruXure stack up to the competition when sizing up pergola companies

TBK Metal Pergolas

TBK is a China-based company specializing in architectural metal solutions, including louvered roof aluminum pergolas with decorative laser-cut panels and 12 powder coating choices. They offer attached and freestanding pergolas that provide sun and rain protection.

Europergola Prado Bioclimatic Tilting Aluminum Louver System

Europergola exports to over 30 countries on 3 continents, offering attached, freestanding, and large multi zone pergola designs. Like louvered pergolas from StruXure Denver, they offer built-in features like lighting, patio heaters, roll-down screens, gutters, rain/snow sensors, and remote or smartphone operation. Unlike the 170-degree adjustability of our pergola louvers, their systems offer only a 0–90-degree range of motion, limiting sunlight protection. 

Azenco R-Blade Louvered Roof Pergolas and K-Banas

Azenco is a European-based company that opened a Florida-based branch in 2017. They offer residential and commercial pergolas with accessory options similar to StruXure’s Pergola X model line, including built-in lighting, fans, heaters, screens, climate sensors, and home automation compatibility. Unlike StruXure’s aircraft-grade aluminum pergolas, which are made from 50% recycled metal, Azenco pergolas feature new aluminum, backed by a 15-year warranty. Color options are limited (white, gray/bronze, black), and the massive 14-inch outer beam and large posts may not appeal to all buyers.

Renson Camargue Line

This Belgian company touts its passion for building healthy spaces, producing louvered roof pergola systems with a modern minimalist design and integrated lighting, screens, and heating. They offer the unique option of adding a few translucent blades for natural lighting. Slats rotate a maximum of 150 degrees compared to 170 degrees for StruXure pergolas. They offer a 10-year structural warranty, with the option to extend it to 15 years with a brand-specific maintenance kit and annual registration.

StruXure Pergola X Louvered Aluminum Pergolas

StruXure pergolas are made in America in one of our seven Georgia or Nevada-based facilities and installed by StruXure Denver, Denver’s exclusive StruXure dealer. We’ve installed over 500 pergolas across the Denver area over the past 8 years. Our top-notch reviews and high customer satisfaction ratings reflect the quality of our products and services. We offer pergolas in all shapes and sizes:

       Pivot 6 – a homeowner favorite

       Pivot 6 XL for large, multizone projects

       Pivot 6 Slide, featuring a sunroof-style sliding roof for unobstructed sky views

       Pan 6, for larger projects alternating between adjustable louvers and fixed pans

 The StruXure Pergola X series offers customization beyond accessories. Bring your dream design to life, complementing your home or drawing attention to your business with architectural columns, multiple post sizes, cornice facades, corbel ends, cap and base trimming, fan beam/beam chases in white, beige, bronze, adobe, black, and gray powder coating or faux wood designs. Our pergolas ensure easy operation, featuring Radia Technology Somfy (RTS) technology for adjustment by remote control, wall switch, smartphone, or home automation via voice command from anywhere in your home.

Which Aluminum Pergola Offers a Better Value? 

While many motorized louvered pergola brands offer similar designs, StruXure pergolas provide a more durable, practical choice. We built our pergolas to last a lifetime and look great, featuring an aircraft-grade fully extruded aluminum frame with premium powder coating that withstands hurricane-force winds, hail, and heavy snow loads. Our warranty terms are unsurpassed. No other aluminum pergola manufacturer offers a 15-year structural warranty and a transferable limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. American manufacturing and installation by your local StruXure Denver professionals make it easy for you and future property owners to reach out whenever you have questions or concerns.

Don’t Fall for Imitators

Products made by competing pergola companies may appear like our cutting-edge pergolas at first glance but often fall short on quality and versatility. StruXure louvered pergolas have it all, from looks and versatility to durability and ease of use. Ensure lasting happiness and maximize your pergola investment with a louvered roof system that will take your outdoor living space to the next level. Contact StruXure Denver at 303-500-6669 to schedule a design consultation today.

Have Shade with a Small Garden Pergola

Do you love spending time in your garden but wish you had a bit of shade to shield you from the harsh Denver sun? Ensure comfort throughout the day with a small garden pergola. Pergolas provide the perfect focal point, adding a feel of luxury that elevates your garden design. The ambiance of a pergola never goes out of style, adding beauty and versatility to your home.

How to Incorporate a Pergola Into Your Garden

 You can use pergolas in small gardens in many ways, such as:

Over a patio for shade, rain protection, and privacy

Tucked next to your home to extend your living space and create a garden transition

Pathway protection in a prime location or extending the length of your garden

Beside a fence as a focal point for framing a fountain or prized plants<

As a transition from one garden area to another

Flexible louvered roof pergolas from StruXure Denver allow you to make the most of any season. Simply adjust louvers to control the amount of light and ventilation beneath your pergola, enjoying access to sunlight, shade, rain protection, or privacy with the push of a button. Our garden pergolas provide optimal comfort in any weather.

Enhance Your Garden Design with Easy-Care Aluminum Pergolas 

 Unlike bulky wooden pergolas, which require frequent staining and maintenance to prevent rot and pest infestation, StruXure aluminum pergolas require minimal care. Our small pergolas feature a durable, fully extruded frame that withstands Denver area weather without rusting, rotting, or warping. Choose from popular residential pergola models that integrate beautifully into any landscape:

The Cabana X, our small, portable 10x10 pergolas, requires no permit.

The Pivot 6, our highly customizable, permanent pergolas - a homeowner favorite!

 Tips for Incorporating an Adjustable Pergola Into Your Garden Design 

Choose a simple small pergola

To avoid overwhelming your garden, choose a pergola design large enough for practical use but less than 25% of your garden’s size.

Accessorize for enhanced comfort and privacy

Built-in lighting, ceiling fans, and infrared patio heaters allow you to enjoy your garden 24/7, 365. Motorized screens enhance privacy, sunlight, and weather protection.

Carefully consider pergola placement

Consider what you will see as you walk through our rest beneath your pergola, using placement to create an enchanting view or accent key features. Ensure you don’t block the flow of your garden design.

Place your pergola in the sunniest spot

Our louvered pergolas allow you to take advantage of sunlight in cooler months while offering protection during the summer heat, extending your outdoor living enjoyment.

Add color and visual interest with hanging baskets

Hanging baskets are an excellent way to blend your pergola into the landscape, provided you avoid aggressive climbers that can impact movable components.

Plant around the base

Large potted arrangements, bushy plants, and shrubs are a great way to anchor your pergola into the garden design.

Incorporate a gas fire pit for comfort and ambiance

Fire pits and adjustable aluminum pergolas work well together, offering a safe space to incorporate the welcoming glow of a fire.
