Pergolas with Lakeside - Featuring StruXure

Sun when you want it, shade when you don't - all at the press of a button!

On their own, pergolas are a smart and beautiful addition to any home. That said, there are endless options for customization!

In addition to the size and shape of your pergola, you'll be able to select the color and edge finishes so that it seamlessly blends in with your home's architecture.

You can also choose to "accessorize" depending on how you plan to use the space. This might include things like:

Built-in retractable screens for bug prevention
Built-in sun shades for the sides
Integrated lights, fans, chandeliers, and/or colored LEDs
Integrated sound system
Integrated heaters (hello, spring and fall!)
Privacy panels
Entertainment walls including fireplace and/or TV
and more!

Question 3

how can I customize my pergola?

Pergolas come in all shapes, sizes, and price points, so we can definitely find a pergola for you!

A pergola can be either freestanding or attached to your home, meaning it's a great option for on top of your deck, on your patio, or anywhere else you'd like to install it!

At Lakeside Decking, we feel that everyone can benefit from a pergola. Considering how short our summers are, pergolas allow you to maximize your enjoyment of the outdoors when it matters most, and they can even help to extend your outdoor season with simple enhancements!

Question 2

is a pergola right for me?

Simply put, a pergola is an outdoor structure with a roof and posts. Traditionally pergolas were made with wood and were primarily decorative with static, slatted roofs - but not anymore!

Nowadays you'll mostly find louvered pergolas on the market, which are a functional addition to your outdoor space. They feature durable materials, a motorized louvered roof that opens and closes at the press of a button, and a slew of additional options to make it exactly the way you want so you can make the most of your outdoors.

What We Love About StruXure

Lots to Love

Not Just Modern

Many louvered pergolas on the market have a distinct modern and sleek appearance, which doesn't always coordinate with your home's architecture.

StruXure is different, with a variety of customization options to blend in and be a natural extension of your home.

  • Custom color matching
  • Wood and wood-look cladding
  • Custom columns
  • Cornice-style facade
  • Corbel ends
  • Coordinating outdoor curtains

Since Lakeside Decking is a design-build company, we are glad to help you design your pergola to be the perfect complement to your home!

Sliding Roof

In addition to louvers that open up to 170°, StruXure also offers the Slide option in which an entire section fully moves out of the way - much like a car's sunroof! This is a feature unique to StruXure and can't be found with any other pergola on the market!

Enhancements Galore

There are endless opportunities to customize your pergola depending on your lifestyle and how you plan to use the space.

Here are some examples of what's available:
  • Retractable screens for insect control
  • Retractable shades for when the sun is low
  • Integrated lights, fans, chandeliers, and/or colored LEDs

TraX System

StruXure offers a unique patent-pending system that integrates into the framework of your pergola and allows for the integration of retractable screens, shades, LED lights, and more. This feature allows for more functionality for your pergola, and is able to accommodate any future enhancements that StruXure rolls out.

In the photo here, the TraX system is shown with a retractable screen that the homeowners are projecting a movie onto. The TraX LED lights around the edges accent and enhance the experience.

Premium Materials

StruXure pergolas are made from American-engineered fully extruded aluminum and stainless steel, and components receive a premium architectural-grade powder coat. This high-quality foundation ensures a pergola that's long-lasting, durable, scratch-resistant, and beautiful.

No. 6

automatic rain sensors

StruXure pergolas have the option of automated rain sensors, meaning if it starts raining and the louvers are open, the sensor will trigger them to close and spare your beautiful furniture from getting wet. This means you can stay outdoors during the rain with no need to wait for furniture to dry!

Excellent Client Experience From Beginning to End

At Lakeside Decking, we don't have an "off season" when it comes to building - we continue making beautiful outdoor spaces regardless of the season. 

How are we able to do this? Part of it is due to our tenacity and resilience, and part of it is due to the materials that we use, and part of it is our heated jackets! 

Of course we won't be outside when the windchill is dangerously low or in the middle of a massive blizzard, but aside from that we like to keep things moving.
