This timber pavilion legacy began with cedar posts crafted by hand, built for both strength and gathering.

Timber pavilion legacy with cedar posts and hipped roof beside pool — A twelve-post cedar pavilion combines natural strength with mountain style, built on stone bases beside the pool for timeless outdoor living.

More than a decade ago, this handcrafted triple-post timber pavilion took shape against the Wasatch hillside. Built in 2013, it stands as a blend of solid craftsmanship and mountain warmth. Every beam and join tells of a time when craftsmanship was slower, steadier, and meant to last generations.

From the first cut of Incense Cedar to the final placement of the chandelier beneath its hipped roof, this structure was designed to be more than shade — it was built to gather people. Over the years, it’s hosted quiet breakfasts, family dinners, and golden evenings that open into laughter and conversation beneath its warm timber canopy.

Details in the Design

This pavilion features a hipped roof, triple timber posts set on stone bases, and capped sleeves for a refined, architectural finish. The warm grain of Incense Cedar gives it a timeless alpine glow. Beneath the roofline, you can see the careful joinery of The Dovetail Difference®, our signature interlocking system that unites beauty with enduring strength.

Early in Western Timber Frame’s innovation journey, this project also integrated one of our first TimberVolt® Power Posts — an idea that would grow into a full product line powering modern outdoor living. The TimberVolt® post brought lighting, charging, and comfort right into the heart of outdoor design — an early signal of how we would merge traditional craftsmanship with everyday usability.

Built for Gathering — Residential and Commercial

Although this pavilion was designed for a private residence, the same timber engineering principles guide our commercial outdoor structures today. Whether shading restaurant patios, resort courtyards, or city parks, our designs continue to bridge utility and artistry — each one a handcrafted space where people pause, recharge, and connect.

Looking Forward

Timber pavilion with triple post design, hipped roof, and stone bases set in a mountain landscape — This 14×18 triple post cedar pavilion stands strong and elegant, framed by stone bases and a hipped roof against the mountain backdrop.

As we look back on this 2013 project, we see more than wood and stone — we see the foundation of what Western Timber Frame has become. Our work has evolved, but our purpose remains unchanged: to craft enduring structures that bring people together under something real.
