The Dovetail Difference® sets Western Timber Frame® apart. Our proprietary interlocking joinery creates superior strength, seamless beauty, and lasting durability.
Engineered for strength and designed for joy, this two-story timber frame pergola transforms a backyard pool into a commercial-grade outdoor retreat—with a diving deck, waterslide, and handcrafted timber detailing that redefine outdoor living.
In New Jersey, timber carries more than its own weight—it carries stories, firelight, and the rhythm of gathering. Western Timber Frame, with the design leadership of Chase Bronson, created a cabana and pergola in mass and heavy timber that transforms outdoor living into something timeless.
The cabana, framed by stone bases and exposed beams, shelters an outdoor kitchen and fireplace—making it the heart of hospitality. Beside it, the pergola opens the design outward, offering shaded gathering space while keeping light and air flowing.
Though residential, the craftsmanship is commercial-grade timber framing, reinforced by The Dovetail Difference® joinery system and modernized with TimberVolt® outdoor power posts for lights, fans, and charging.
This project proves outdoor living can be both traditional and modern, strong and inviting, enduring and alive.
What began as open concrete is now a crafted retreat—a residential timber structure cabana built with The Dovetail Difference® and integrated TimberVolt® Dragon power. Designed to stand strong and feel timeless, this 6,000 Series build reframes outdoor living with the warmth of mass timber and precision joinery that architects admire and families live within.
Fall into winter is a season to build—a time when timber acclimatizes, craftsmanship deepens, and next year’s stories begin to take shape. This is the season that builds beside you: quiet, steady, and will last for generations.
What began as unfinished gravel is now a complete outdoor retreat. This 3-gable timber frame pavilion with deck, The Dovetail Difference®, and TimberVolt® outdoor power transforms the backyard into a space for gathering, firelight, and lasting memories.
This backyard went from open concrete and wire fencing to a fully designed retreat featuring a 16×22 Redwood pergola, raised garden boxes, and a custom arbor with matching fence. The result is a warm, functional, and lasting space that highlights the beauty and strength of Redwood.
From an open patio to a finished retreat, this custom Wisconsin timber pavilion brings commercial strength, modern power, and timeless design to outdoor living.
Interment weather also increases the load path upon an architectural structure with excessively strong winds and heavy snows. The characteristics of well seasoned timber combined with a well designed dovetail mortise and tenon connection system has proven its long-term durability over centuries of time that timber frame has better seismic and wind survivability than any other known building material on earth.
