Pergolas A pergola is a backyard structure made with posts, beams, and supporting cross beams which hold up rafters and top shade planks creating a lattice-type roof. They provide shade for back yards, decks, pools, and more. They can be free-standing or attached to a home or building. The primary purpose of a Pergola is to create an outdoor space. We help you create an inviting and comfortable outdoor room, which you can decorate and furnish. Having a pergola allows you to extend your home outdoors, creating inviting spot where you and your family will enjoy spending time. We help you design and create a beautiful multi-purpose Pergola for all your family events, social gatherings, romantic evenings, and general purpose entertaining. Don’t let limited indoor space crash your party, invite more people and have more fun with your friends outside. All pergola kits are designed to provide the perfect amount of shade and protection from the sun. Now you can enjoy fresh air, a calm breeze, and little gentle sunshine. It is time to relax under a beautiful Timber Pergola, love your backyard, and see the beauty of the world around you. Note: With shade-planks that are spaced closer together, Western Timber Frame™ ShadeScape™ Pergolas provide 80% Shade Coverage; which is approximate the same shade coverage you would get with a tree. SCAPE TM ® What are Pavilions and Gazebos? Pavilions and Gazebos are places where an observer can take advantage of a view from under its protecting cover. Often, the term pavilion and gazebo are interchangeable. Usually it is the shape or design that determines whether someone chooses to call it a pavilion or a gazebo. These outdoor living rooms often feature the same conveniences as indoor living. For outdoor kitchenettes, they can be as simple as a fire-pit, or wholly equipped with barbecues, ovens, fireplaces, full commercial kitchens, complete with lights, fans, counters, refrigerators, and outdoor televisions. Pavilion A structure made of posts and beams supporting a pitched roof that is completely covered with roofing materials to provide complete shade and protection. Pavilions are free-standing and provide an umbrella-like shelter for protection from inclement weather. Gazebo A Gazebo is a pavilion built for the express purpose of taking in the surrounding view. Gazebo means: "a place from which to gaze." Gazebos are traditionally hexagonal in shape. SCAPE TM ® What is an Arbor or Trellis? Arbor and Trellis structures are an excellent way to accent your backyard living space. In our experience, people use them in conjunction with a pergola, gazebo, or pavilion to accent a walkway, hidden corner, or provide shade for a swing or bench. Arbors are a great way compliment backyard and garden entrances, or function as a beautiful accent to a small patio area. Western Timber Frame™ garden arbors and trellises add an inviting feel to a garden and make it easy to accentuate with hanging baskets, pots or growing boxes. They help create an attractive living space throughout the year. Arbor A structure which serves as an entrance (typically with an arched roof) or provides a shady resting place (usually with a flat roof) in a garden or park on which plants such as climbing shrubs or vines can grow. An arbor may have lattices, benches or swings attached. Arbors are a great way to provide a small amount of shade to a dedicated area or walkway. “Arbor” literally means a tree, orchard, or shade covering. Trellises An architectural structure made with posts and beams in single file, supporting a row of rafters on top, used to support climbing plants. May have lattices attached to them. Outdoor Living Retreats An arbor swing can also be an enchanting invitation to a garden or landscape as well as a welcome resting place at the end of a pathway or quiet secluded retreat.

Playgrounds Playgrounds built with solid wood timbers using the patent pending design The Dovetail Difference™ connection system making it an heirloom piece to be enjoyed for generations. SCAPE TM ® The Dovetail Difference™ The Dovetail Difference™ The Dovetail Difference™ is an unprecedented masterpiece of architectural engineering. A simple, yet strong design provides greater stability and heavier load capacities. It allows the wood to perform as nature intended, expanding and contracting while keeping the joints tight and secure throughout the years. Helps to Eliminate Gaps and Exposure The Dovetail Difference™ has a trapezoidal angle shaped dovetail (mortise) that interlocks with another angled (tenon) creating a snug fit. This snug fit allows for the natural seasonal expansion and contraction of timber pergola joints. Tight fitting joints in which little movement is allowed between the mortise and tenon can shoulder greater loads than loose, bolt or peg joints. The dovetail mortise and tenon gives the FROM THIS timber the ability to expand and contract while remaining tight, minimizing gap exposure, reducing twisting and warping. The patent pending The Dovetail Difference™ also eliminates virtually all exposed hardware, bolts, screws, hangers or other mechanical fasteners unless they are decorative in Eliminate Exposed nature. Hardware Mortise and tenon joints have soundly stood stronger through centuries of architectural constructions because it allows for the wood to naturally expand and contract while maintaining its integral shape without nail/glue construction. Buildings are considered to be solid, immobile structures, yet we live in an environment of TO THIS! continual motion where the weather moves structures in waves up and down as well as side- to-side. Seasoned timbers of this scale with The Dovetail Difference™ naturally move and adjust to this
