Texas pergola university campus

The Lamar University in beautiful Beaumont, Texas just installed a new timber frame ShadeScape™ pergola from Western Timber Frame™ for the BBQ grill and patio area on campus. It is a freestanding pergola with a fully covered roof, pavilion style. With all the charm of the West, our Design Manager Mike Jenson did an excellent job. The Rich Sequoia stain really gives this a rustic quality.

Laboring for a better future, from bachelor's to doctoral degrees, students can now enjoy everyday relaxation with barbecue and picnics out in the refreshing open air beneath the cooling protection of this majestic timber frame pergola.

The pieces are each connected together with the old world craftsmanship of a mortise and tenon joints, without the use of nails or glue. The old world style is gorgeous as you view up into the joining carved puzzles of wood with no view of unsightly hardware.

Beaumont is on the Texas coastal plain just inland around 30 miles from the Gulf of Mexico where they can experience some strong coastal winds.  These massive timbers with The Dovetail Difference™ is engineered and designed to withstand strong winds as well as heavy mountainous snows.

While in pursuit of their career dreams at Lamar University in Texas, this timber frame pergola will provide a place for students and staff to renew their energy and minds, enjoy natures warmth of wood, provide shade and protection for today and generations of scholars.
