A Customer’s Perspective
One of the most rewarding parts of this project wasn’t just the finished pavilion—it was hearing directly from the homeowner afterward. Here’s what they shared in their 5-star review:
“Great product with even better customer service. I chose to complete the assembly myself and the staff at Western Timber Frame were responsive and professional each and every time I had a question. Special thanks to Caleb and Mike Jenson for all of their help.”
That’s the heart of what we aim for: structures that not only transform spaces but also create an experience of service and trust along the way.
Beyond the Backyard

Commercial Uses
This timber pavilion was designed as a private poolside retreat. The same style works perfectly in commercial settings too. Resorts, restaurants, and community spaces across Canada use heavy timber architecture for the same reasons families do. It creates atmosphere, brings people together, and stands the test of time.
A Gathering Place
Hydrangeas line the walkway. The view stretches wide to the open sky. Just steps away, the pool shimmers in the light. The pavilion has become the family’s outdoor living room. It is a place to share meals, watch a game, or relax into the quiet rhythm of summer evenings.
