Easily Build Your Own Timber Frame RV or Carport Cover

A solid, good-looking carport doesn’t have to be a long-haul project. With the right kit, you can go from “thinking about it” to “parking under it” in less time than you’d imagine.

We’ve seen folks start in the morning with a patch of grass and end the day with an oversized timber frame carport standing tall. Yes — one afternoon.

How It Comes Together So Fast

The process starts before the first beam is raised. Our Design Managers work with you one-on-one to ensure every detail fits — from the scale and clearance for your vehicles or equipment to the style that complements your home, business, or resort.

Your structure arrives with every timber precisely pre-cut, drilled, notched, and finished with two coats of premium, UV-rated exterior stain. Thanks to our mortise-and-tenon joinery — The Dovetail Difference® — each beam slides into place with a flawless seam and no visible hardware.

Built for More Than Just Parking

Your timber frame carport can be open-air or enclosed later with walls or additional roofing. A timber frame carport can serve as an outdoor lounge for a hotel or a shaded staging area for events. Businesses may also use it as a covered loading space for commercial deliveries.

For homeowners, it’s an instant upgrade in both beauty and function — a place for weekend barbecues, family gatherings, or storing seasonal equipment.

Looking for sustainable energy? Your design can also be engineered to support rooftop solar panels and integrated with our TimberVolt® Power Posts, giving you built-in electrical access for lighting, tools, or EV charging stations.

And if you’re protecting an RV, tractor, boat, or commercial fleet, we size the structure for the height and clearance you need. Extra-tall posts? Oversized beams? No problem.

What Makes Western Timber Frame Different

  • Stronger joinery: 500% stronger than brackets and bolts.
  • True-to-size timbers: Full-scale, rough-sawn lumber for strength and presence.
  • Refined edges: A ¼” round on every exposed corner — comfortable to the touch, elegant to the eye.
  • Closer shade planks: More coverage and a distinctive architectural look.
  • No exposed hardware: Clean, uninterrupted lines.

We don’t just send parts — every structure is test-assembled at our shop to ensure your build is seamless.

Why Timber Outlasts the Rest

We’ve replaced countless lighter-weight metal, vinyl, and aluminum carports that couldn’t survive high wind, snow, or years of sun exposure. Western Timber Frame structures have weathered hurricanes without faltering.

Wood is nature’s best insulator, keeping vehicles cooler in summer and warmer in winter. It’s also renewable, naturally resistant to bacteria, and timelessly beautiful.
