Run the mouse over the picture and see the before and after install of a timber frame arbor.
A timber frame arbor for a garden or side yard can be a place to get away for a quiet place to sit or as a delightful lawn sculpture to gaze at through the kitchen window.
A timber frame garden arbor kit from Western Timber Frame is pre-cut, pre-drilled and pre-tested with drop in rafters so that it installs easier than conventional arbors and yet is durable to withstand strong winds and heavy mountainous snows.
Built using the old world dovetail mortise and tenon joint system, Western Timber Frame™ also has its patent pending design The Dovetail Difference™ joint system that joins the timbers without the view of unsightly hardware which not only adds to its strength but is more aesthetically pleasing.
