Design & Remodel Timber Frame Attached Pergola Patio Porch Cover

Relax and enjoy cooling summer breezes in the hot summertime while looking forward to the comfort of a warmer winter with a covered patio or porch. A covered patio or porch creates a great space to enjoy a meal with family and entertain friends, watch the sun set or enjoy the summer rain. A covered patio or porch also keeps leaves, pollen and debris more at bay for a cleaner entrance area.

Installing a timber frame pergola kit or pavilion kit, attached or freestanding is an easy way to do a patio or porch remodel. These kits are fast to install. Imagine the surprise to see such dramatic, beautiful change in as little as one afternoon.
