A louvered roof system is provided that is capable of selectively fully or partially covering a designated area to block direct sunlight, rain, snow, etc. while allowing a selected amount of airflow to the designated area. The louvered roof system includes a pair of longitudinally extending rails having a plurality of movable louver assemblies extending between the rails. The movable louver assemblies are rotatable relative to the rails and longitudinally movable along the rails. A drive assembly rotates and moves the louver assemblies relative to the rails. The drive assembly includes separate rotation and drive mechanisms for selectively rotating the louver assemblies and moving the at least one movable louver assembly along the rails. Insulation may be provided on the louver assemblies to aid in insulating the designated space. The louver assemblies may be maintained rotated to a closed position by magnets securing each louver assembly to adjacent louver assemblies.
