Western Timber Frame™ has long been known for their unique The Dovetail Difference™ patent pending design which features a drop in dovetail design that is stronger than conventional timber frame structures; which also results in a magnificent, aesthetically pleasing, old word craftsman style without the show of unsightly bolts, lags, hangers and hardware. The drop in layout rafters are designed upon this same principle.

Another innovative design from Western Timber Frame™ is their Drill for Power and TimberVolt™ Series, prewired and ready-to-go. Their outdoor wood arbors, gazebos, pavilions and pergolas can be pre-drilled with a hole down the center of one post to accommodate any and all of your electrical and lighting needs.
