Struxure Pergolas for Modern Luxury Outdoor Living in Greater Chicago, IL

A well-designed outdoor space should be both beautiful and functional, but for many homeowners in the Chicago area, their patios sit empty for months due to unpredictable weather. The lack of flexible shade, rain protection, or cohesive design can turn even newly built spaces into afterthoughts.
Erdmann Outdoor Living meets these challenges with Struxure’s advanced pergola systems, guiding clients through a process that replaces weather worries and design indecision with tailored solutions. With expert project planning and a focus on your family’s lifestyle, a Struxure pergola makes your outdoor room an inviting extension of your home.
Why Struxure? The Industry Leader in Louvered Pergolas
Struxure stands at the forefront of modern pergola technology, offering the most advanced louvered roof pergolas on the market. Each Struxure pergola features motorized, 180-degree adjustable louvers, allowing you to control sunlight, shade, and ventilation with the touch of a button.
Seamless integration with rain and wind sensors, smartphone apps, or handheld remotes allows you to instantly adapt your outdoor space to match Chicago’s unpredictable climate. Homeowners can select premium finishes, built-in LED lighting, ceiling fans, motorized screens, and full automation for the ultimate in luxury and convenience.
Built from durable, powder-coated aluminum and engineered for year-round performance, Struxure pergolas resist rust, fading, and weathering. This delivers low-maintenance enjoyment and long-term value. The result is a high-end, architecturally sophisticated shade structure that elevates any patio, deck, or outdoor kitchen.

From my very first call to the completion of my shade structure installation, Kyle and his team were responsive and attentive to this unique project's needs...Erdmann Outdoor Living was able to help me transform and revitalize an abandoned service station and installed a beautiful structure...
Just got my pergola done by these guys! Everything looks amazing. The design was exactly what we were looking for and everything was completed on time. John, the project manager always kept me updated and his crew Hayden, Samuel, and David did a great job as well. Highly recommend!
We are beyond thrilled with our pergola and new outdoor living space! The process from start to finish was very straightforward and all team members were great to work with! We cannot thank Josh, Hayden and the rest of the construction crew enough for their hard work, excellent craftsmanship, and superior kindness!
