  1. Hey

    Can you modifie the dimension for a larger pavillon like 16′ instead of the 12′ on the plan

    John, click on the images just below “Download Sample PLans” for an example of the cut sheets.

    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.

  4. 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
