By |2020-04-08T14:56:02-06:00April 8th, 2020|Timber Pergolas|

Installing a ShadeScape® timber frame pavilion, pergola or gazebo is an exciting experience.  Interlocking wood-to-wood joinery without the use of nails, screws or adhesives dates back at least to the seventh century in Japan as seen in the Kigumi museum.
