Timber Frame Cabana and Pergola in New Jersey: Built for Living
In New Jersey, timber carries more than its own weight—it carries stories, firelight, and the rhythm of gathering. Western Timber Frame, with the design leadership of Chase Bronson, created a cabana and pergola in mass and heavy timber that transforms outdoor living into something timeless.
The cabana, framed by stone bases and exposed beams, shelters an outdoor kitchen and fireplace—making it the heart of hospitality. Beside it, the pergola opens the design outward, offering shaded gathering space while keeping light and air flowing.
Though residential, the craftsmanship is commercial-grade timber framing, reinforced by The Dovetail Difference® joinery system and modernized with TimberVolt® outdoor power posts for lights, fans, and charging.
This project proves outdoor living can be both traditional and modern, strong and inviting, enduring and alive.
