An Invitation to Gather

At Western Timber Frame, we believe outdoor living is about more than extra square footage. It’s about creating a place where people connect, rest, and celebrate. This pergola doesn’t just stand in the yard—it quietly reshapes daily rhythms, inviting people to step outside, breathe deeper, and stay a little longer.
