This three-gable post and beam pavilion plan is a sturdy structure. It uses metal connectors and structural screws to join posts, beams, and rafters, which means there are no mortises and tenons to cut. The knee braces are housed ½” into the posts and secured with screws concealed with plugs. We use heavy timber to make this structure to last for many, many years: the posts are 8×8’s, the plates are 8×12’s, and the ridges are 6×12’s.
The centered cross gable creates a dynamic focal point and adds a bit of extra covered space. At just under 515 square feet, this pavilion has plenty of room to accommodate your needs! Its footprint is 12’8”x 36’8” with a 4’0” bump-out.
There is plenty of volume under the roof, with a ridge height of almost 14’4”. The top of the plates are 9’4” above the ground, and generous 2-foot overhangs provide plenty of protection from the elements. This plan is designed to be mounted on a concrete slab with Timberlinx connectors.

Hey
Can you modifie the dimension for a larger pavillon like 16′ instead of the 12′ on the plan
Simon, please check out our custom design services here. We can certainly modify that plan.
Do your plans include cut sheets? Do you have an example of what they may look like?
John, click on the images just below “Download Sample PLans” for an example of the cut sheets.
Hi, how do I change length of pavilion to 24 feet?
Has anyone built this? Curious about what the lumber cost is.
Timber prices vary by region and species, so there is no one answer to your question. We can tell you that this frame utilizes 4281 board feet. That should give you a starting point in getting prices.
Good evening, I was wondering if you ever put together a 16′ plan like Simon was asking about. I would like this plan but In 16′ or even better 20′.
Thank you
W do not have a stock plan as you describe but could help you through our custom design department.
