Infrared Heating Built Into Your Pergola
Portable patio heaters can warm up a space, but they can also detract from the atmosphere. Freestanding units take up floor space, cords create visual clutter, and heat coverage often depends on wherever the heater happens to fit.
StruXure of the Rockies takes a more integrated approach. Infratech electric infrared heaters can be planned with your StruXure pergola so placement, wiring, controls, and coverage are considered as part of the overall design. The heaters mount cleanly within the structure, preserving the open sightlines and finished appearance that make a StruXure system distinctive.
That kind of integration is particularly useful in Colorado, where warm afternoons can quickly turn into chilly evenings, and spring and fall temperatures can vary considerably from one day to the next. Adding infrared heating gives you more opportunities to use the patio as temperatures drop.
Standalone Patio Heaters vs. Fully Integrated Heating
Freestanding propane towers and plug-in heaters can work for simple patios and decks, but they come with tradeoffs that feel out of place once you've invested in a permanent motorized pergola. Infratech infrared heaters are designed to be part of the StruXure system itself, giving you a cleaner, more intentional setup.
Cleaner Appearance: Heaters mount within the pergola and connect to integrated wiring rather than taking up floor space or adding visible cords, bases, or hardware.
More Usable Patio Space: Without freestanding towers in the way, seating and walkways stay open.
Planned Heat Coverage: Heater placement is mapped around dining, seating, and gathering areas rather than wherever a portable unit happens to fit.
No Propane Refills: Electric infrared heaters eliminate the need to move tanks, refill fuel, or reposition equipment.
Better Architectural Fit: The heating system looks like part of the structure rather than something added after the fact.
Works With the Larger System: Heating can be planned alongside lighting, fans, screens, glass enclosures, and centralized controls.
For a permanent StruXure pergola, integrated heating keeps comfort, technology, and design working together as one system.
Control Your Louvered Pergola and Heater From One System
StruXure's Somfy-powered operating system is compatible with the Bond Operating System, allowing the pergola and compatible accessories to be integrated into a single centralized control setup.
That means your louvers, lighting, fans, and heating can be managed through one app, remote, or voice assistant rather than relying on a collection of separate controls. Learn more about Somfy motorized pergola controls and how they fit into a complete StruXure outdoor living system.
Heating for Residential Patios and Commercial Outdoor Spaces
Integrated heating can serve very different needs depending on the property, but the goal is the same: make the outdoor space comfortable for more of the year without compromising its appearance.
Residential: For homeowners, Infratech heaters can make dinners, gatherings, and quiet evenings outside more comfortable once temperatures begin to fall. Because the heaters are integrated into the pergola, you get targeted warmth without sacrificing floor space to freestanding equipment or disrupting the structure's clean design.
Commercial: For restaurants, hotels, resorts, and other commercial properties, integrated heating can help keep outdoor areas usable through a wider range of conditions. Larger projects can be planned around seating layouts, multiple heating zones, circulation paths, screens, glass enclosures, and other accessories so the system supports both guest comfort and day-to-day operations.
StruXure of the Rockies works with a variety of residential settings, including multi-family developments, as well as commercial properties, planning each heating setup around how the space will actually be used.
Installed and Supported by StruXure of the Rockies
The heater itself is only one part of the system. The planning, installation, and ongoing support also matter. StruXure of the Rockies provides local design, installation, and continued service throughout Colorado. Our installers are part of our own team, not subcontractors, which gives us direct control over how heating integrates with the pergola, electrical routing, screens, glass enclosures, and other accessories.
The StruXure system itself is also the only ICC-certified pergola system in the United States. That certification reflects the engineering behind the structure into which your heating and other accessories are integrated. After installation, our local service team remains available if you have questions, need service, or decide to expand the system later.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pergola Heaters in Colorado
Infratech electric infrared heaters deliver radiant warmth toward people and surrounding surfaces rather than simply heating the surrounding air. That makes it possible to direct heat toward seating, dining, and gathering zones within the pergola.
Infratech heaters can be mounted within the StruXure pergola so they look and function as part of the finished system. StruXure's Somfy-powered operating system is also compatible with Bond, allowing compatible louvers, heating, lighting, fans, and other components to be brought into a centralized control setup.
Yes. Heating can be combined with our retractable screens or glass enclosures to create a more protected outdoor environment. These features can help reduce exposure to wind and changing weather while keeping the space flexible.
Integrated heating can extend patio use into colder weather, but comfort depends on the temperature, wind, pergola configuration, and how enclosed the space is. We consider those factors during design so the heating plan reflects how and when you expect to use the patio.
Yes. StruXure of the Rockies installs integrated heating for restaurants, hotels, and other commercial spaces. Commercial projects may involve larger coverage areas, multiple heating zones, and coordination with seating layouts and other outdoor amenities.

““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.””
