A Walnut Creek backyard, built for entertaining after dark
See a real StruXure Pergola X installation in Walnut Creek: a motorized, louvered aluminum pergola with a fire pit, built-in fans, and lighting for entertaining after dark. Below is the full photo gallery of this custom outdoor living project, showing the adjustable roof and putting green we designed and installed for this Walnut Creek home.
At StruXure Bay Area, we design every pergola around how you actually use your outdoor space — day or night, sun or shade. Book a free design consultation and let's talk through what a Pergola X could look like at your Walnut Creek home, tailored to your yard and how you entertain.

Built for hot, sunny Diablo Valley summers
We’ve installed motorized pergolas across Walnut Creek, from Northgate and Saranap to Parkmead and the Rossmoor senior community. Every Pergola X we build starts with a real conversation about how you use your backyard — for Rossmoor residents in particular, that conversation includes the Mutual’s own architectural review process from day one.
Walnut Creek’s inland Diablo Valley location, shielded from direct bay fog, means considerably hotter and sunnier summers than the Peninsula or the immediate bay shoreline. That’s exactly why a motorized louvered roof earns its keep here — full shade on 90-degree afternoons, open louvers for warming winter sun. Because Walnut Creek is an incorporated city, most permits go through its own building department rather than Contra Costa County, and we walk Rossmoor homeowners through both the Mutual approval and any required permit.
What Walnut Creek homeowners ask before installing
Yes. We work with Rossmoor residents as well as homeowners throughout Walnut Creek’s other neighborhoods, including Northgate, Saranap, and Parkmead.
Yes — Rossmoor is organized into HOA “Mutuals,” each with its own architectural review and exterior-improvement approval process, so a pergola or cabana project there generally needs Mutual approval in addition to any required building permit.
Walnut Creek is an incorporated city in Contra Costa County, so pergola and patio-cover permits are issued by the City of Walnut Creek’s own building department rather than the county directly.
Walnut Creek’s inland Diablo Valley location means hot, sunny, mostly fog-free summers with strong afternoon sun. A motorized louvered pergola lets homeowners close up for full shade during peak heat and open it back up for sun in cooler months.
