You Can DIY Farm Equip Vehicle Cover

Farm equipment is one of a farmer's biggest investments. Whether you are operating a family-run farm, a large agricultural enterprise utilizing a pavilion to protect valuable equipment is a cost-effective solution for a rural landowner. ShadeScape™ pavilions offer coverage for hay storage, livestock housing, and commercial or industrial equipment. They are also often used to shelter recreational vehicles. A ShadeScape™ kit is easy to install. Best of all, you can quickly do it yourself.

Featured today, is a Cedar solid wood 10,000 Series ShadeScape™ DIY Pavilion Kit located in the beautiful State of Oregon. The Bush family sent us these photos of their completed installation. They are delighted with their farm equipment and vehicle cover.

The Bush’s ShadeScape™ DIY Pavilion Kit measures 27' 8" x 30'. The posts are 10" x 10". Every pavilion kit is designed to the landowner's needs. Though they are kits, these ShadeScape™ kits are not a "cookie cutter" kit. The key to being an easy to install kit is that each piece is pre-cut, pre-drilled and pre-assembled and tested in the shop before it is ever shipped out. Wherever you are located across the country, you can easily erect the DIY pavilion cover yourself. We have had clients express how amazingly fun it is to experience being a timber-wright and put it together. In many ways like an old-time barn raising that your family can do yourself, or with the help of a friend or a neighbor.

Commercial tarps, portable garages, and canopy covers could provide temporary protection, but the Bush family wanted something that would last.

Thank you, Bush family for the pictures. You did an awesome job!

A ShadeScape™ do it yourself pavilion cover is built with old world craftsmanship, interlocking mortise, and tenon joints. You slide them in place much like a child's toy of Legos or Lincoln Logs. The beveled trapezoid joints lock into place allowing the wood to expand and contract with a tight joint system naturally. Without the use of brackets and unsightly nails and hardware, the interlocking joints become an extension of the wood itself that won’t pull apart. Buildings using these engineering principles have proven to stand for centuries of time. Western Timber Frame™ has excelled the standard "U" joint system with a revolutionary The Dovetail Difference™ design that in testing is 500 times stronger than conventional timber frame hangers.

Whether you need a recreational vehicle cover; a truck, tractor, farm, commercial or industrial equipment cover, you can install a DIY pavilion or pergola kit in as little as ONE AFTERNOON. Check out our gallery or talk with a Design Manager for more ideas.
