Let your imagination take flight with the ways to use this 20x20 Pavilion! It’s a medium-sized frame with perfect dimensions for a carport, ample workshop, or guest cabin. Because it only has two bays, its 400 square feet allows you to do as you wish. There is plenty of traditional joinery in this King Post Truss for you to show off, from the spline joints at the center posts to the haunched king post/chord connections.
The truss and purlin system is ready for you to cover with the roofing of your choice and will make a beautiful ceiling in your finished frame. The space will have plenty of volume - the tie beams stand over 9’ tall, and the ceiling rises from over 17 feet to the top of the king post. Generous 2-foot overhangs all around provide excellent protection from sun and precipitation.

What's Included

We take immense pride in our team of exceptionally skilled timber frame designers. Each member is not only equipped with the finest tools but also possesses a profound understanding of how different materials intricately come together to realize your vision. This deep expertise in both design and material synergy is crucial in crafting the ideal timber frame structure tailored just for you.
Our commitment to excellence extends to our engineering team, specialists in timber frame structures, many of whom hold doctorates in their field. Sharing your passion for timber framing, our engineers work closely with you, ensuring that every aspect of the frame's design is customized to suit your specific location. This collaborative process guarantees that you receive all necessary documentation for permits, including detailed engineered reaction diagrams, ensuring your construction proceeds smoothly and stays on schedule.
The culmination of this meticulous process is a comprehensive set of construction drawings. These detailed plans not only provide a clear guide for your kit's assembly but also include a complete list of timbers and fasteners, serving as an invaluable reference throughout the installation of your frame. Our goal is to ensure that every step, from initial design to final construction, is seamless, transparent, and perfectly aligned with your project's needs.
After we've collaboratively chosen the ideal wood type for your project, we proceed to source the highest quality timber through our network of trusted mills. Ensuring that every piece meets our exacting standards, we then transport the timber to one of our cutting facilities. There, the joinery is meticulously crafted using CNC machines. Every joint, drilling, mortise, and tenon is cut with precision, adhering to tight tolerances for impeccable quality and fit.
Following the cutting process, all timbers are systematically labeled according to the production numbers assigned during the creation of your model and plans. This meticulous process ensures that every component of your timber frame is prepared with the utmost attention to detail, ready for the next phase of your project.
Included with your package are all the pegs, fasteners, screws, and connectors you need to put your ready-to-raise frame together. You will also get a detailed list for you to refer to while raising your frame.
We carefully package and securely transport your timber frame and all necessary hardware directly to your location. In sync with you, we'll coordinate the delivery schedule, ensuring that we agree on an approximate time on the designated date. To facilitate a smooth and safe unloading process, it's important to have equipment on hand capable of lifting up to 5,000 lbs. Once everything is delivered and in place, the exciting phase of bringing your project to life begins.

At Timber Frame HQ, we embrace the philosophy of 'One Person, One Project.' This approach ensures that each client is paired with a dedicated Project Manager who will be your point of contact throughout the entire project. We believe in offering personalized, consistent support to make your journey with us as smooth and fulfilling as possible.
Our commitment extends beyond just providing exceptional timber frames. As your construction resource, we'll be by your side for the duration of your project, ready to offer expert advice, support, and answers to all your queries. Our goal is to make the process of raising your timber frame not just successful, but also a deeply rewarding experience.
We invite you to visit our 'About Us' page to learn more about our values, our team, and how we can bring your timber framing vision to life with a touch of personal care and professional excellence.

Would like to have price on the kit. And what kind of wood is it
If you go to our Kits Page and click on the “Search Now” button, you will find a calculator that will tell you the price, delivered to your zip code, in Douglas Fir or Eastern White Pine
Are the posts sunk into a footing in the ground?
No, they sit on a slab or concrete piers. We do not recommend putting any posts in the ground. A timber frame structure can last over 100 years but not if the posts are buried.
Dear SIr/Madam,
How much does your 20/20 kit cost and do you deliver to Rhode Island? Are roofing materials included or do we need to take care of that ourselves? Also, would we need to pull a permit in Rhode Island? How much is delivery? If you do not deliver to RI do you recommend an alternative company? Thank you.
We definitely deliver to Rhode Island (and all 48 contiguous states and Canada). Check out that plan’s product page (https://timberframehq.com/shop/20×20-pavilion-plan/) and click the Timber Kit tab. You’ll see the calculator ther and it will give you a price based on your zip code with shipping included.
Hello this is regarding the 20×20 pavilion. I need it 21×20, 8′ to horizontal beam and the front support poles moved back 3 feet. Is that possible? What does a kit cost? Do you assemble? Cost?
Dan, we could modify that design on a custom basis. Please fill out this form to get in touch with our design team and get a quote. We do provide kits, you can get more information on them here. We ship kits to your location but we do not provide assembly.
I clicked on the 20×20 pavilion kit page, entered my town, zip and choice of wood but, nothing came up. Dunnellon Florida 34432.
We sent you an email with the prices
Can this be modified to a 10/12 pitch?
I am considering this as an interior upgrade to the living room for the house I am planning to build.
I have build plans and this 20×20 drops right into the vaulted living room, but needs to be a 10/12 roof pitch.
Absolutely can. Contact us at projects@timberframehq.com for more info.
