14' x 18' Timber Frame DIY Pergola Kit Replaces Wood Pergola
Wood pergola before being torn down.
A conventional wooden pergola kit on the property was an eye sore to the homeowners but they want to enjoy shade in the backyard close to the house. Conventional solid wood pergolas use nails, glue, hangers and/or other unsightly hardware. The beauty of old-world timber frame, particularly with the Western Timber Frame™ patent-pending design, The Dovetail Difference™ connection system creates a masterpiece shade structure that virtually eliminates all unsightly hardware.
The homeowners chose a free-standing 6000 Series ShadeScape™ DIY pergola kit. The ShadeScape™ pergola is Douglas fir featuring a 14' x 18 roof, 11' 8" x 16' footprint (post-to-post), Roosevelt style beam and rafter end profiles, TimberVolt™ Dragon power post, and finished in a premium, high-grade UV protective Early American timber stain.
Enjoy the pictures of before and after.
