Before & After Backyard Shade, Timber Frame Pergola Kit

Mouse over the pictures here to see another before and after a timber frame pergola kit install. This is a 12′ x 18′ oversize free-standing timber frame pergola finished with a Rich Cordoba UV-rated stain.

The before pics are early that morning and the after pics are later that afternoon. It is the design of implementing old-world craftsmanship combined with state-of-the-art technology that makes these timber frame pergola kits so easy and so fast to assemble.

Mouseover the illustration to the left and see the mortise and tenon design The Dovetail Difference™ slides in for a architecturally responsible connection that leaves a aesthetically pleasing finish without the view of unsightly hardware.

With Western Timber Frame’s revolutionary design The Dovetail Difference™, the timber is allowed to naturally expand and contract and maintain its integrity. This is much better than conventional timber frame and better than nail, glue or stud construction.

The result is a structure that can withstand heavy snows and strong winds designed after the the old world timber frame construction that have stood for centuries.
