A timber frame awning over a doorway, garage or window adds an aesthetically pleasing touch especially when combined with a timber frame pergola. It also adds some protection from the sun and save some on energy. This 3' × 8'  timber frame DIY awning kit is constructed from #1 Grade rough sawn SFI Certified* Douglas-fir timbers. Douglas-fir is the number one choice by architects and engineers for structural timbers. It is dimensionally stable and universally recognized for its superior strength and its high density provides excellent nail-and-plate-holding ability.
