Which is a better investment – StruXure or Equinox louvered pergola systems? The process of choosing a home pergola for shade can be overwhelming, but rest assured, no matter which system you choose, you’ll never regret your decision to improve your outdoor space with a residential pergola.
Common Benefits of StuXure and Equinox Louvered Pergolas
Both StruXure and Equinox louvered roof pergolas will improve the
comfort and usability of your deck or patio. Adjustable pergolas
offer unparalleled versatility, giving you the ability to enjoy your outdoor
living space in any weather, closing louvers for shade and rain shelter, or

pergola manufacturers StruXure and Equinox have some unique differences, making

Which Pergola is the Better Value? StruXure or Equinox?
Both motorized louvered pergola brands offer similar smart pergola technology and pergola accessory options, including integrated sensors for automated response to changing weather. However, for durability, StruXure is a more practical choice. Its industry-leading warranty is a prime factor. Unlike the Equinox warranty, the warranty of a StruXure pergola system is fully transferable if you sell your home, making your custom pergola a valuable, attractive addition for new home buyers.
