Salt Lake City Pergola Installation for More Usable Outdoor Living
Salt Lake City gives you plenty of reasons to spend time outside, but the weather does not always cooperate. Strong summer sun can make an uncovered patio uncomfortable by midafternoon, while cooler temperatures, rain, and snow can shorten the outdoor season. StruXure Utah designs pergolas that give you more control over those changing conditions.
From our Woods Cross showroom, we design and install outdoor living structures for homes and commercial properties throughout Salt Lake City. Whether you want adjustable shade that can open back up to the sky or consistent overhead coverage, each system can be configured around your property, how you use the space, and Utah weather.
Louvered Pergolas Built for Salt Lake City Weather
A pergola in Salt Lake City needs to stand up to intense sun, seasonal temperature changes, wind, and snow while still looking like it belongs with the property. StruXure systems are built with aircraft-grade extruded aluminum, custom full-length extrusions, and a durable powder-coated finish.
The Pivot 6 pergola, our flagship product, uses adjustable louvers that rotate to control sunlight, shade, airflow, and rain protection. Open them for more light, adjust the angle as the sun moves, or close them when weather rolls in. Somfy motorized operation lets you control the louvers by remote or mobile app, or a manual crank option is also available.

Freestanding and Fixed Pergolas
Some outdoor areas that could benefit from a pergola aren’t close to a house or building. The Cabana is a freestanding option that works well beside a pool, farther out in the yard, or anywhere you want to create a defined outdoor gathering space.
For areas where permanent overhead coverage makes more sense, the Pan 6 provides a fixed aluminum canopy without adjustable louvers. StruXure is also the only ICC-certified pergola system in the United States.
Integrated Outdoor Living Features
The structure itself is only part of what you can customize. Accessories can be incorporated into the pergola design to make the space more comfortable and useful throughout more of the year:
Retractable Screens: Vanish Screens add protection from insects, wind, and direct sun, then retract when you want the space completely open.
Glass Walls: Lumon glass enclosures provide additional protection from wind and weather while keeping the space bright and visually open.
Heaters: Infratech heaters add comfortable warmth for colder evenings and shoulder-season use.
Fans: Outdoor fans help keep air moving during warmer weather.
Lighting: Integrated lighting can be incorporated directly into the pergola so there are no hanging cords to worry about.
Speakers: Sonance audio with Sonos integration brings sound into the space without making the technology feel like an afterthought.
Smart Controls: Somfy controls can bring louvers, screens, and other powered features together in one system.
You also do not have to decide on every feature at once. StruXure systems are modular, so you can add accessories and structure later as your needs change.
Residential and Commercial Pergolas in Salt Lake City
For homeowners, a StruXure pergola can turn an exposed patio into a space that works for everyday meals, entertaining, relaxing, or simply getting outside without planning around the afternoon sun. Because the systems are highly customizable, you can adapt the layout, finish, coverage, and accessories to your home and surrounding outdoor space.
We also design pergolas for restaurants, hotels, multifamily communities, and other commercial properties throughout the Salt Lake City area. These projects may require larger covered areas, multiple independently controlled zones, or integrated features that support dining, gathering, and guest spaces.

How We Design and Install Your StruXure Pergola
A custom StruXure pergola takes planning well before installation day. We work through design, measurements, engineering, and production details in advance so the finished system fits the property and how you plan to use it.
Free Design Consultation: We visit the property, discuss how you want to use the space, and talk through pergola configurations, layout, colors, operation, and accessory options.
Measurements, Design, and Engineering: Our team takes detailed measurements, completes the required engineering, and finalizes the design. We can also develop CAD drawings and photorealistic renderings when helpful for the project.
Production and Pre-Fabrication: Once the design is approved, the system moves into production. Components are checked and pre-fabricated before arriving at your property, helping keep on-site work efficient.
Installation and System Training: Installation typically takes one to two days, depending on the project. Once everything is complete, we show you how to operate the pergola and any integrated features, and our team remains available for future service or additions.
