Evaluating the Alternatives
Are you considering a StruXure Pergola for your residential or commercial outdoor project? The Pergola X comes with a variety of advantages that alternative options don’t have; keep reading to find out why the StruXure Pergola is the best solution for your project.
General Advantages of the StruXure Pergola
- Each Struxure Pergola is custom designed by a team of engineers to meet the size and configuration of each site. A set of detailed drawings accompanies each installation.
- Each Struxure Pergola is manufactured using a state-of-the-art aluminum extrusion process. This process assures the most strength to support longer spans. There are no seams as are found in most other aluminum pergola manufacturers that use a roll-formed process.
- Each Struxure Pergola is custom cut at the factory to assure fast and proper assembly at the installation site. Minimal modifications are required at the site.
- Each Struxure Pergola component is provided a top-of-the-line powder coat finish at the factory to ensure a long lasting and easily cleaned surface. A quick wash and rinse will restore the finish to a like-new appearance for years to come.
- The custom cut components are packed with all the hardware required to complete the installation. Once the unit arrives at the installation site and is unpacked, it takes only a matter of days to install the complete pergola.
- The structural components, including the louvers, are heavy duty and can withstand blazing sun, driving rains and hurricane-force winds.
StuXure Pergola vs Traditional Wood Pergola
StuXure Pergola vs Conventional Roof Extension
Some of the advantages that a Struxure Pergola will provide to your situation vs a conventional roof extension:
- Fixed shingled roof would need to cover more square feet to tie back into the existing roof. This may be a challenge to blend the new with the existing rooflines.
- This approach, to create an extension that looks like it was part of the original construction.
- The proposed Struxure system would provide superior performance and versatility for likely less cost.
- Fixed shingled roof provides constant shade all day limiting natural light vs Struxure’s adjustable louvers that can provide total roof shade during the heat of the day but can also provide partial shade when desired.
- The activity area under a conventional roof is mostly usable during and immediately after a rain event. Likewise, the Struxure Pergola will close its louvers in a rain to form a watertight roof. It will shed the rainwater through its built-in gutter and internal down spout system. This allows the activity area to be used uninterrupted through a rain event.
- The louvers can be fine-tuned to provide the optimum combination of amount of light vs heat while allowing natural air flow for added comfort.
- In most circumstances, conventional shingled roof structures are stained one color from top to bottom. Struxure’s Pergolas are currently available in 5 colors, including White, Tan, Bronze, Adobe, and Tex Grey. These color choices would enable you to blend with the existing look or choose a contrasting color combination.
- The conventional roof system could require up to 4 weeks to complete the installation including engineering, approval of existing slab, permits, construction and inspections vs 3 days to install the Struxure Pergola.
- Made in America – Components are manufactured in America by our craftsmen in one of two fabrication facilities. One is in Georgia and the other is in Nevada.
- The pergola can be assembled with sleek modern lines or finished with corbel rafter ends
