10×10 King Post Timber Frame Pavilion

This sweet 10×10 King Post Timber Frame Pavilion will fit into any outdoor space. With smaller timbers (the posts are 6×6’s), this makes a great beginner project, and it is light and easy to raise.

This can accommodate a conversation grouping, outdoor dining, or hot tub area. Its small footprint will fit easily into most backyards. You can add shingles or roofing of your choice for more shelter from sun and rain, or leave the purlins exposed for an arbor effect.

The traditional mortise and tenon joinery add an artistic element to this frame. Check out our timber frame kits to purchase your pegs and fasteners with just one click!

You can leave this frame open-sided to enjoy the outdoors or enclose it with the material of your choice to create a garden shed or workshop. Or you could add clear panels to create a sweet greenhouse! The 12-in-12 roof pitch creates a nice ceiling height, and the generous two-foot overhangs give plenty of protection from the elements.

The PDF plans contain 26 pages full of drawings, 3d renderings, timber, and fastener lists. We also show each timber with every cut and joint fully dimensioned. This makes cutting the frame easy, accurate, and fast. The plans are formatted to letter-size paper, easily printed from your home, and ready for instant download.
