Retractable patio covers are roof systems you can open or close over your outdoor space. Some models have moving louvers, while others have roof sections that slide back. This gives you more control over sun, shade, airflow, and coverage.
A retractable cover lets your patio switch between open sky and covered use. It’s a good choice for homes and businesses that use outdoor areas at different times of day.
Smart controls make using your patio cover easy. StruXure So Cal offers Pergola X systems with options to move the roof, adjust the louvers, and fit your daily routine. You can control everything with your phone, a remote, a wall switch, voice commands, Somfy parts, or the iLouver app.
Phone control lets you move the patio cover from wherever you are. You can adjust the roof when the sun shifts across the patio or when the outdoor area needs more shade. It works well for homeowners and business owners who want quick roof access without having to walk to a wall switch.
A handheld remote comes with your system for quick adjustments. It works from across the yard or inside the house through a window. Push the button once, and the louvers move to your chosen position. It is a fast option when your phone is not nearby.
A wall switch placed right outside your door gives you a permanent control point. Tap up or down to move the louvers. It works like a light switch with no learning curve. A good choice for spaces where multiple people need access to the controls.
Connect your StruXure cover to Alexa and operate it with your voice. Say the command, and the louvers respond. It works with existing Alexa setups at home, so no extra hardware is needed. Commercial properties can connect through compatible automation systems. Smart building integrations can also support roof control.
The OS system inside every Pergola X runs on Somfy motors and controllers. Somfy is a widely used name in motorized shading and outdoor covers. The motors help the louvers move quietly, and the controller connects to all the other control methods listed above.
The iLouver app provides another way to control StruXure roof movement from a mobile device. It supports modern patio cover use for homes and commercial outdoor spaces. You can review this control option during your showroom visit. Our team can also discuss it with you when comparing Pergola X models.
Choosing a retractable patio cover starts with your space. Patio size, sunlight, seating, and your goals all play a part. StruXure So Cal will help you look at these details first, then guide you through roof options, controls, and finishes.
The Pan 6 uses fixed ceiling panels instead of rotating louvers. It works well for large projects with multiple zones. Some sections can stay automated, while others remain covered at all times. The panels lock into place with a tongue‑and‑groove design. It is available with a 2×8 or 2×10 frame, 4‑, 6‑, or 8‑inch posts, and a 5.5‑ or 7.5‑inch integrated gutter. Six standard colors are included, and thousands of custom colors and woodgrain options are available.
The Pivot 6 is the most popular model for homeowners. The louvers rotate 170 degrees, giving you more control over sun exposure. You can angle them to bring in light, create shade, or adjust coverage as the sun moves. It runs on iLouver technology and the Somfy motor system. Built on a 2×8 frame with a 5.5‑inch gutter and post choices of 4, 6, or 8 inches.
Pivot 6 Slide adds sliding roof movement to the louvered patio cover system. It suits users who want more open‑sky access than louver movement alone can provide. You can use the louvers for shade and airflow, then slide the roof back to create a more open outdoor space.
The Pivot 6 XL was built for commercial projects that require spanning larger areas. It handles three times the rainwater capacity of the standard Pivot 6. The larger 2×10 frame and 7.5‑inch gutter allow it to cover larger footprints without splitting into separate sections. Posts come in 6‑ or 8‑inch lengths. Same custom color and woodgrain options apply. If you run a restaurant, hotel, or event space and need wide coverage, this is the model for that job.
Each Pergola X model is designed for a different patio need. The best choice depends on movement, size, shade goals, and how often you want to open the cover. StruXure So Cal will help you compare fixed, pivoting, sliding, and large-span options before you decide.

A retractable patio cover adjusts to the weather each day. You can block the sun, let air flow through, or close it for light rain. The right model lets you use your patio more often without making it feel closed in.
You can rotate the louvers to block direct sun and keep your patio cooler. The Pivot models have a 170-degree range, so you can adjust the shade as the sun moves. You don’t have to stick with one position—just adjust from your seat as needed.
If you leave the louvers slightly open, air can flow through, keeping the space comfortable on warm days. A fixed roof blocks the breeze, but the Pergola X lets you enjoy both ventilation and shade. You control how much air comes in by adjusting the angle.
A 360-degree integrated gutter runs along the whole frame. When the louvers are closed, they direct light rain across the roof and into the gutter system. The Pivot 6 XL can handle heavy rain, so you stay dry underneath without water pooling or dripping through.
Your patio cover should fit your space. Size, sun direction, roof movement, shade needs, and finish all matter. StruXure So Cal will review these details with you before comparing models, so you can choose a cover that fits your needs and style.
