Extend your living space outdoors with a custom timber frame structure. We design timber framed pavilions that combine beauty, durability, and functionality. Perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enhancing your property's value, each structure is tailored to your style and needs.
In architecture a pavilion is defined as an open covered structure, either free-standing or attached to a main building. Often found in parks or gardens, pavilions provide shelter and shade, while maintaining an outdoor experience. Timber framed pavilions can be any shape or size. Simple or complex in design, a timber frame pavilion can be a casual gathering place or an elegant outbuilding.
We have cut and raised timber frame pavilions for a wide variety of uses. Next to a pool or lake, a pavilion gives you a place to get out of the sun and relax. A covered area for storage and protecting your outdoor furniture is another plus.
Outdoor kitchens are also a popular use for pavilions. Especially in our southern climate, cooking outside helps keeps your house cool. Being under roof means you can cook outside even in the rain. Adding a pizza oven or fireplace will make your pavilion even more special!
A beautiful spot, surrounded by nature, makes a perfect location for a pavilion. Whether you want a timber framed pavilion for a wedding, cooking or just hanging out, we know that getting outside is good for our bodies, brains and souls.
