By |2019-04-10T12:43:50+00:00April 10th, 2019|Decks Dry Space|

Plan on Building a Deck or Landing? You can also build a deck yourself or have it done for you without all the mess of standard construction projects. For many years, Western Timber Frame® has designed and pre-fabricated outdoor living shelters, decks, dry space, landings, steps, and railings. We design a quality product that is heavy-duty, and easier to keep cleanliness on all of our project sites.

With our anchoring process, you don't have [...]

By |2019-04-10T15:43:00+00:00April 3rd, 2019|Pergola Kits|

Providing architectural shade to a functional or botanical garden can transform an ordinary landscape into a park-like atmosphere – a backyard treasure house of play – surrounded in a collection of living plants. #GardenArborSwing #PoolShadePergola A garden pergola is designed to cover a sitting area, passage or walkway, with an open roof of cross beams or sometimes open lattices, supported by vertical pillar or posts. The Garden Pagoda #AsianGardenPagoda Unlike the pergola, a garden pagoda is similar to a pavilion in that it has a dedicated roof that protects from direct sunlight and rainfall. Where the pagoda differs from a pavilion is in the roof, featuring tiered upward curved roof eaves. Pagodas are square, hexagonal, or octagonal, in a plan. They vary in style, color, and material.

25 Black Ebony Outdoor Living Timber Shade Shelters

By |2019-03-29T11:46:58+00:00March 29th, 2019|Pergola Kits|

Feeling the cool breezes of shade beneath the massive timbers of a solid wood pergola is a very pleasing experience. You immediately become aware of being re-energized by the timber itself. Landscape color design analysts believe black to be a color of confidence, resilience, self-control, and authority. Black is is a powerful color and contrasts well with bright colors in landscape design on an outdoor shade structure. Sometimes, we have people say they prefer the look of Ebony ShadeScape® shelters but they want to be cool. Wood is a natural and extremely effective insulator. It retains heat during the daytime and releases heat at night. The black color of Ebony will keep you just as cool as any other stain color. Timber has its built-in natural thermostat. Just like a tree, the larger the dimensional scale of the wood the better it can regulate a thermal equilibrium for amelioration [...]

Beach Sand Pergola w/Metal TimberClad® & Bench Swing

By |2019-03-18T08:27:44+00:00March 18th, 2019|Pergola Kits|

Walking barefoot on a sandy beach soaking in the warmth of sweet sunshine is a treat for the senses. Maybe this innate connection to the beauty of the earth in exotic places has made Beach Sand — one of our newer stain choices — so incredibly popular. Up close and in person, the size of these massive timbers can seem almost surreal. Beefing it up in strength or substance; with bigger, stronger, bulkier timbers adds “muscles” and “power”. At the same time, standing next to timbers this size elicits peaceful and captivating awe. Real wood provides comforting shade and timber carved with old-world craftsmanship, interlocking together, without the use of nails or glue, is stunningly beautiful. TimberClad® metal embellishments give contrast and masculinity to a ShadeScape® shelter; which has also risen extremely in popularity this year. As you see here, the metal TimberClad® [...]
