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.
This family’s new timber pergola brings privacy and peace to their outdoor walk and patio—proof that the right structure can transform how a space feels.
From handcrafted timber structures to a lucky hat moment on the river, Western Timber Frame made this year’s Utah Fall Home & Garden Show unforgettable.
