Where Is the Daybreak Island Pavilion?

The pavilion stands on an island in a Daybreak lake, a quiet place to take in the water and the landscape. The arched bridge and Victorian-style homes around the shore give the setting an old-world charm, and the pavilion was designed to match it.

What Makes This Pavilion Tuscany Style?

The Tuscany columns are 20″ wide, and the timbers are rough sawn for texture. The posts are finished in a light Bleach stain, and the roof is in a contrasting Rich Cordoba. Diagonal rail walls are capped at the ends with two oversized solid wood balls, and the gates match.

How Is the Roof Built?

The support beams are saddle notched and dovetailed into the ridge, and threaded metal rods run through the king posts. The result is a roof structure that is as much a centerpiece as the view. At night, a TimberVolt® power post runs the lights, on a timer that turns them off on its own.
