Beyond the Lawn: How Motorized Pergolas Are Turning Backyards into Lifestyle Hubs

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The American backyard is being reimagined. They're no longer just lawns and patios. They're becoming social hubs, family retreats, and wellness sanctuaries. Driving this transformation is the motorized pergola, an adaptable structure that blends comfort with technology. With customizable models like the FlexPatio collection, homeowners are creating seamless extensions of their indoor living space, tailored to their climate, aesthetic, and rhythm of life.

Sun-Drenched Kitchens in the South

In sun-soaked states like Texas or Florida, outdoor kitchens are on the rise. A 13'x13' louvered pergola system paired with glass walls turns a backyard into a year-round cooking and dining space. With built-in outlets keeping blenders and griddles working and integrated LED lighting setting the scene for evening meals, families can cook, eat, and entertain outdoors, completely unfazed by a passing summer shower or the setting sun.

Spacious Entertainment Hubs on the West Coast

For West Coast families who love to entertain, scale is key. A spacious 13'x20' FlexPatio pergola equipped with motorized roller shades becomes the ultimate party pavilion. By day, the adjustable louvers provide shade and cool breezes for casual barbecues and birthday parties. As evening falls, the space transforms: ambient LED lighting and a hidden wiring system create an enchanting open-air lounge ideal for movie nights or entertaining friends under the stars.

Year-Round Spa Sanctuaries in the North

Even in colder states like Minnesota and Michigan, the backyard season doesn't have to end. The robust POWER+ PRO model, with its enhanced snow-load capacity, is the perfect frame for a private retreat. A 10'x10' configuration with privacy louver walls and an optional heater creates a sanctuary around a hot tub. The dual-layer louvers efficiently shed snow while allowing steam to vent, enabling a serene, warm soak amidst a quiet, snowy landscape.

Al Fresco Fitness in the Rockies

For health-conscious families in states like Colorado, the fresh mountain air is the perfect companion for a workout. A 13'x20' pergola with roller shades provides an ideal shelter for a treadmill, yoga mats, or free weights. The reinforced frame stands up to variable mountain weather, while the side walls block glare, creating a comfortable, focused environment for fitness.

Tailored to Your Vision

FlexPatio's strength lies in its deep customization, ensuring every structure is a perfect fit:

• Models: The standard POWER+ suits most climates, while the POWER+ PRO is engineered for heavy snow and harsher weather.
• Sizes: Ranging from a compact 10'x10' for a cozy hot tub nook to a generous 13'x20' for large-scale entertaining.
• Side Walls: Choose from glass walls for bright sunrooms, privacy louvers for seclusion, or motorized roller shades for versatile, open-air living.

A National Shift Toward Smarter Backyards

From Southern kitchens to Midwest spas, families are embracing motorized pergolas not just for shade, but for a fundamental expansion of their living space. The ability to adapt spaces to different climates, needs, and seasons is at the heart of a growing movement to invest in outdoor technology that delivers genuine lifestyle benefits.

Embracing the FlexPatio philosophy to "POWER YOUR PATIO" means more than just adding a structure; it's about unlocking the potential of your property for connection, wellness, and joy, 365 days a year.
