Finish: Rich Sequoia

Rich Sequoia is a warm, mid-tone redwood hue that deepens Douglas fir without masking the grain. In full sun it reads lively; in shade it settles into a calm, earthy brown. The low-sheen finish minimizes glare and pairs cleanly with concrete, black hardware, and neutral siding, so the frame looks intentional from every angle. Maintenance stays simple—seasonal rinses and occasional touch-ups on the most sun-exposed faces keep the tone even over time.

Why This Layout Works

Proportion. A 14×16 roof carries shade without feeling heavy. The 12×14 footprint keeps furniture layouts tight and usable.
Headroom. About 96″ to the beam means pendants, a fan, or heaters fit comfortably.
Details. Crescent beam ends and Cove braces add craft without shouting. The lines read calm and intentional.
Durability. Knife plates lift timber off grade; pre-poured footings keep the structure planted and clean at the base.
Everyday use. TimberVolt® Dragon puts power where you need it, so lights and charging are simple from day one.
