The Pivot 6 Slide - Aluminum Pergolas With a Retractable Roof for Colorado Homes
Get a Free Design Consultation!
Adjust the Shade, Open the Roof, or Close It for Coverage
A louvered pergola lets you adjust the roof angle, but the Pivot 6 Slide adds another option: opening sections completely.
The system combines traditional pivoting louvers with sliding louver zones, giving you more control over how much of the sky you want overhead. Open the roof when the Colorado weather is too good to cover up. Pivot the louvers when you want filtered sun or airflow. Close them when you need shade or rain protection.
That extra movement makes the Pivot 6 Slide a good fit for homeowners who want more than an adjustable patio cover. It gives you several ways to use the same space throughout the day and across Colorado's changing seasons.
Features of the Pivot 6 Slide Louvered System
The Pivot 6 Slide is the premier choice in motorized retractable roof pergolas, blending advanced engineering with clean, modern design. This next-generation louvered system offers:
Dual-Action Versatility: Louvers rotate up to 170° for flexible shade and airflow, then glide completely aside for an open-sky feel.
Slide-Away Roof: Enjoy full sun exactly when you choose, with louvers that stack neatly out of the way for maximum exposure.
Total Customization: Designed to fit attached structures, freestanding layouts, corner wraps, and multi-zone patios.
Residential Flexibility: An ideal solution for homeowners who want both privacy and wide-open views in places like Denver, Castle Pines, and Parker.
Unlike traditional fixed patio covers, this modern patio pergola brings dynamic shade and sunlight control to any Colorado backyard.
Stands Up to the Weather Colorado Puts It Through
A pergola in Colorado has to stand up to more than summer sun. The Pivot 6 Slide is built with materials and structural features designed for snow, wind, hail, rain, and wide temperature swings.
Aircraft-grade Extruded Aluminum: Provides strength without the rot, warping, or rust that can affect wood structures.
Custom Full-Length Extrusions: Add structural strength across the system with fewer weak points.
Premium Powder-Coated Finish: Helps protect the aluminum from UV exposure, hail, and changing weather.
High-Wind and Snow Engineering: StruXure systems are engineered for heavy snow and rated for Category 4 hurricane conditions up to 156 mph.
ICC Certification: StruXure is the only ICC-certified pergola system in the United States.
Integrated Drainage: Built-in channels move rainwater away when the louvers are closed, helping the system manage sudden Colorado weather.
Premium Powder Coating & Custom Options
Personalize your outdoor aluminum pergola with designer-grade finishes and accessories. StruXure of the Rockies offers:
Thousands of color and texture choices, including woodgrain effects for a warm, organic look without the maintenance.
Custom columns, decorative ends, ornate cornices, and streamlined profiles to match your home’s architecture.
Low-maintenance surfaces with no annual painting, staining, or sealing required. Just a gentle rinse keeps the finish fresh.
Motorized Control Makes Adjustments Simple
The Pivot 6 Slide can be powered by a Somfy motor system designed specifically for StruXure. Use the remote or mobile app to change the roof position without leaving your seat. The motor is quiet, waterproof, and rust-resistant, so the technology stays largely out of sight while you use the space.
Depending on the controls included in your project, Bond compatibility can also bring pergola operation and integrated features into one place. Lighting, fans, heating, and roof controls can work together rather than feeling like separate systems added after the fact.
Prefer something simpler? A crank option is available for areas without convenient power access or for homeowners who prefer manual operation.
Add Features That Make the Space Work Longer
The pergola itself controls what happens overhead, but the right accessories can make a much bigger difference in how often you use the space. Integrated options can add warmth, airflow, lighting, privacy, weather protection, and entertainment without making the finished pergola feel cluttered or pieced together.
StruXure systems are modular, so you do not necessarily have to choose every feature at the beginning. Screens, heaters, fans, lighting, and even additional structure can be incorporated later as the way you use the space changes.
Enhance Your Space With Pergola Accessories
Our pergola screens provide more than just shade. Each system adds comfort, privacy, and weather protection, fully integrated with your outdoor structure. From quiet mornings on the patio to evenings hosting friends, you control your environment with a touch.
Thoughtfully integrated pergola heater can transform your StruXure system or patio cover into a welcoming retreat, no matter the temperature. Heating solutions are engineered from the start, not as an afterthought, so every gathering stays comfortable from cool summer nights to the heart of winter.
Pergola fans actively circulate air, reduce heat, and create a more inviting environment under your pergola. Whether you’re hosting friends or seeking a quiet place to unwind, incorporating a fan system expands the use of your outdoor space.
Experience the ultimate in outdoor living with pergola speakers designed for StruXure’s advanced pergola systems. Seamlessly integrated audio brings every gathering or quiet evening to life, transforming your patio into a true backyard destination.
Built directly into the structure with TRAX technology, downlights provide clear, functional illumination, while optional track lighting highlights the pergola's design lines or sets a soft, ambient glow. Choose warm or cool tones to match the moment. From lively gatherings to quiet evenings, control it all from your phone with the StruXure app for iOS and Android. Because the lighting is built in rather than added on, it feels like a natural extension of the structure itself, not an accessory.
Explore the full range of accessories available for StruXure systems, including retractable screens, glass enclosures, heaters, fans, lighting, audio, and smart controls. Visit our accessories page to see how these features can be integrated into your pergola design.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Pivot 6 Slide

““Our south facing patio was too hot to use in the Denver summers, so we chose StruXure to install a louvered pergola. And oh, how we love it! Structure came out right away to give us a detailed estimate. They stayed true to their estimated timeline from order to install. The unit looks beautiful and like it was part of the original house and not just an afterthought. Our patio has now become an additional room on our house that we can enjoy in the heat of the summer, when it rains, and all year around. The install team was professional, efficient and clean and worked with us to make sure everything was done to our liking. We have already recommended StruXure to our friends and neighbors, who all now want one too.””

““We live in Castle Rock and have a west facing patio that for years was practically unusable between 12-7pm due to intense Colorado sun. We found Denver Pergola Systems and were immediately impressed by the Arcadia/StruXure louvered pergola system - adjustable to allow for sun or shade. Bob Monzel and his team were very quick to provide solutions and were very helpful in creating a custom patio cover for our space. Their creativity/ingenuity was proven when considering some challenging space constraints and a large picture window to work around. We could not be happier with their product, service, attention to detail, and professionalism. We highly recommend their team and their product. It is a wonderful addition to our home. Thank you Denver Pergola Systems!””

““We wanted a durable 20×12 ft. pergola that was low maintenance, waterproof, had the ability to add a screen, and provide sunlight on demand onto our patio and into our windows. Denver Pergola was extremely professional, timely, responsive, and best of all built a one-of-a-kind pergola for us to enjoy for decades to come. Bob and his team got the install finished in a single day. The end result is a pergola that can withstand anything nature throws at it. I would highly recommend a Struxure pergola over traditional pergolas or patio covers, you won’t be disappointed.””
