Before You Plan to Build an Awning, Gazebo, Pavilion, or Trellis —Read This

By |2021-03-30T09:20:29-06:00March 29th, 2021|Pergola Kits|

When you can take off your shoes, kick up your feet, eat, lounge, nap, and other at home-like behaviors— it is an indicator of your comfort level. An outdoor space can be beautifully designed, but if the area does not provide comfort it will lack that intimate feel and remain unused. Being in a familiar space where you feel entirely at ease  is not an extra luxury; it is a basic human need. Timber frame arbors, awnings, gazebos, pavilions, pergolas, and trellises are the protective shelter to create a more inviting and comfortable environment that will be enjoyed all year-round. But before you plan to build an outdoor living shelter, read this: The strength and stability of an awning, arbor, gazebo, pavilion, pergola or trellis depends HEAVILY on the joints that hold all parts together.

Shelter Effects Your Happiness w/Space, Light & Material —Even Shapes Character

By |2021-01-05T09:08:14-07:00January 4th, 2021|Pergola Kits|

The shapes and arrangements of the spaces you live in have cognitive effects on your brain.Designers of architecture and living spaces are not necessarily in control of the occupants health. And yet, architecture is not passive; it does influence human health, emotions and modifies behavior. Studies from neuroscientists and psychologists show that architecture effects moods and actions. For the most part, it is simple, common sense —a living area that provides a pleasant layout with adequate space is calm and welcoming. A tight or overcrowded living space creates the concept of burden, with an awareness of feeling weighed down. According to the American Institute of Architects, continuing education for architects should go beyond the fundamentals of design to support basic health, safety, and welfare.People are hard-wired for human interaction with comfortable spacing. An office purposely encouraging physical movement has been proven to influence people’s levels of productivity. [...]

Are Gabled Roofs the Best Type of Covering for Open-Air Shelters?

By |2021-01-13T22:16:57-07:00December 17th, 2020|Pavilion Kits|

As a homeowner you want more out of your real-estate investment than just creating a feel good first impression. And the reason is: the real value of your property is so much more substantial than pleasing aromas and aesthetical facades. Timber frame shade shelters give you a better-managed landscape that will vitally and significantly benefit your family, as well as your friends. This is why you now plan to have a ShadeScape® pavilion kit installed. The crowning glory of architectural shade structures: an arbor, gazebo, pavilion or pergola is the topside covering. Of all the variety of roof designs, the gable is a classic and serves as the architectural standard. In some regions this pattern is not just atypical; it is the required by code in some areas. A "traditional" gabled roof consists of two planes that [...]

By |2020-11-19T14:19:43-07:00November 19th, 2020|Pergola Kits|

Your yard is the presentation of your home. Landscaping with architecture is the perfect way to create a more pristine landscape. For some, it is a welcoming storefront, extension of a business or recreational space. Light and shade also play a role in how inviting an atmosphere feels within the surroundings.

We "fall in love" with the families we get to build for and we work to give them only what they really need.

If you could, what would you make differently? What is most important to you?
