Types of Pavilions We Specialize In
Picnic Shelter Pavilions
Known for their sturdy construction and rustic charm, these pavilions use heavy timbers in their design, often featuring exposed wooden beams and intricate joinery.
Commercial Pavilions
Designed for public spaces like parks, schools, or community centers, these pavilions are typically larger and built to withstand heavy use and harsher weather conditions
Pool Pavilions
These are designed to provide shade and a relaxation area near swimming pools. They can be equipped with features like changing rooms or outdoor showers.
Open-Air Pavilions
These pavilions have open sides, offering a covered space without enclosed walls. They're ideal for enjoying outdoor views and breezes.
Gazebo-Style Pavilions
Gazebos are similar to pavilions but usually have a distinct octagonal shape and are often more ornate. They are popular in residential gardens.
Enclosed Pavilions
Unlike open-air pavilions, these have enclosed sides, offering protection from the elements and more privacy.
Wedding Pavilions
Smaller in size, these pavilions are designed to complement garden settings. They often feature ornate designs and are used as a peaceful retreat or focal point in a garden.
Outdoor Kitchen Pavilions
Perfect for culinary enthusiasts, our outdoor kitchen pavilions blend functionality with style, creating an ideal space for cooking and entertaining outdoors.
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.

F.A.Q. About Our Pavilion Kits
We do not provide installation ourselves, but depending on your area, we can recommend contractors who can raise the frame for you.
Our standard kits are engineered to comply with most county and state requirements. If your locality has more specific requirements, we will supply a state specific stamp for an additional fee. It is your responsibility to determine what your local building department requires.
All of our kits are pre-cut, pre-fit, labeled and ready for you to have fun with the raising!
In most cases we can ship to your residence as long as the address is located within the Continental United States or parts of Eastern Canada. If your address is in a particularly difficult access area, you need to let us know and there may be additional fees.
In order to deliver to your location: Your location has to be able to accommodate a full sized tractor trailer to park entirely off the road, and turn around to make egress.
You or your builder is responsible for offloading the kit materials and timbers from the delivery truck. The truck driver is under no obligation to be involved with any part of the unloading. The truck will not have a ramp or liftgate. It is absolutely necessary for you to provide a forklift to move the timbers and pallets.
If a kit is less than 3,000 lbs you might be able to unload it a piece at a time. You need at least one other strong person to help you. We recommend you wear sturdy work gloves and have a cutting tool for breaking the packaging bands open.
In the unlikely case that your kit arrives damaged, you have the option to refuse shipment. If this happens , please try to contact us while the driver is still there. We will try to help you make the best decision for what is happening.
We will ship your kit anywhere in the Continental United States or Canada. We ship your kit by freight carrier directly to you. Shipping usually takes 4-7 days depending on your location.
When we give you a quote for your timber frame kit, we will include a cost for shipping to your location. Please be very specific when describing the location we will be shipping to.
When we receive your order we will tell you a date and approximate time for delivery. A tracking number is supplied once the kit has shipped, and the trucking company’s dispatcher will coordinate with you and the driver.
Most of our kits can be delivered as soon as ten weeks after you make your deposit, but for more complex frames (and especially if you are modifying the design) we recommend placing your order as much as six months before you plan to raise your frame. That way you have time for a collaborative design process, engineering, and local permitting.
When you contact us, your Project Manager will lead you through the decision process to decide what kit you want and which (if any) modifications you need. The cost of kits varies greatly depending on the size and complexity. Use our Kit Calculator to get a quote on any of out Stock Kits HERE.
We offer a great variety in kit sizes, ranging from 8x12 up to 24x36 and larger. Take a look on our kit pages to see them!
It depends on the size and design of the frame, but we use traditional mortise and tenon joinery, scarf joints, spline joints, tusk tenons, pegged half-laps, several other joints.
Our kit prices do NOT include any site preparation - including foundations. There are many different options for foundations but most folks choose to pour a monolithic slab. We provide the connectors to fasten your posts to the slab.
We supply the timber frame, fasteners, finish and any other related items. The finishing elements are up to you to provide and install.
