This 20′ x 20′ timber pavilion was a joy to bring to life.

It’s a freestanding structure, built from Douglas Fir in the 8000 Series. We topped it with a custom triple-gable roofline. These three gables lift the frame and give it depth. Light flows in, and mountain views stretch in every direction.

Beneath that wide, cathedral-like canopy, a handcrafted timber porch swing hangs quietly in the center—balanced and ready for conversation.

Every View, Thoughtfully Framed

Angled view of three-gable timber pavilion with exposed trusses and hanging wooden swing — An angled view reveals the depth and rhythm of the three-gable roofline, with exposed Champion trusses and a handcrafted swing suspended in the center bay—timber details that feel both grounded and graceful.

Three-gable timber pavilion with swing installed on concrete pad in a mountain setting — This 20′ x 20′ Douglas Fir pavilion features a triple-gable roofline, Early American stain, natural tongue-and-groove ceiling, and a hand-built timber swing—all anchored on a clean concrete slab with mountain views in every direction.

Craftsmanship in Every Detail

We finished the structural frame in Early American stain. Above, a natural tongue-and-groove ceiling keeps the space feeling light and open. That soft contrast brings out the curves of the Champion beam profile and the shape of each knee brace. You can see the care in every joint.

We anchored the pavilion with pre-poured footings and secured it using knife plates for lasting stability. The result is a clean install with long-term integrity. A full 96 inches of head clearance beneath the support beams adds easy flow and comfort throughout.

The pavilion also includes a TimberVolt® Power Post—bringing power right into the frame itself. Lighting, charging, music, or heating elements can plug directly into the timber. No exposed cords. No extra conduit. Just clean, built-in energy that keeps the space both beautiful and functional.

While this one was built for a home, the same design—with integrated power—is ideal for outdoor venues, hospitality patios, or small commercial spaces where utility needs to meet aesthetics.

Three-gable timber pavilion with center swing and curved concrete pad with gravel firepit insert — This front-facing shot shows the symmetry of the three-gable pavilion, the warm two-tone timber finish, and a thoughtful concrete circle—ready for a firepit, planter, or gathering point beneath the swing.

Back view of timber pavilion with exposed ceiling boards and centered wooden swing on concrete slab — From the back side of the pavilion, you can see the natural tongue-and-groove roof decking before roofing is applied—highlighting the timber swing and centered concrete pad with clean, open framing all around.

Behind the beauty of this build is something we call The Dovetail Difference—a method of joinery that locks timbers together with lasting strength and hidden grace. There are no visible brackets holding this frame. No metal plates taking over the wood. Just a clean, interlocking fit that’s as solid as it is seamless.

A Space Open to Possibility

Everything was placed with intention. From the center swing to the circular inset in the concrete—each detail invites possibility. A fire bowl, a tree, or something no one’s thought of yet could find its place here.

It might host family dinners, quiet Sundays, or become a peaceful corner in a future venue.
Either way, this space is ready to hold whatever comes next.
