15 'Yes, Please' Shelters w/Arch & Keystones
In St. Louis, Missouri, The Gateway Arch, or “Gateway to the West,” stands as the tallest, freestanding man-made monument in the United States. In the world it is second only to the Eiffel tower which; is leaning.
The arch, throughout ancient history, is seen in practical constructions all over the world. Semicircular arches in architecture are called the Roman arch. The keystone was the central voussoir where the two arches met. Arched bridges and large structural buildings utilizing the arch design allow structures to carry a heavier load while more evenly dispersing the weight.
Curvature and arches are a powerful and fundamental element that is not only pleasing to the eyes but has an energetic aura that for centuries have held symbolism and sentiments for many cultures, the most common being creation, and unity.
Leonardo Da Vinci observed, “An arch consists of two weaknesses which, leaning one against the other, make a strength.”
The arched knee braces with decorative keystones bring to mind bridges, that bridge us together, the perfect architectural design for family and community gatherings.
#1 Six Post Olive Grey ShadeScape™ Pergola Kit
Olive Grey was offered as a custom color stain but was well received by so many of our clients. Last year, Western Timber Frame™ added Olive Grey to their standard stain colors.
Homeowner, Karen chose the Olive Grey stain and told us, "I like this color. For one reason, we have this white fence, and I didn't want to have this high contrast. I really like dark ones, but this blends into our landscape better. "
"When you paint the lighter colors, give you more distance whereas the dark seems to come at you and makes the thing feel darker, right? Okay. If you want the landscape to recede, you add some light. You look at the landscape, the further the mountains the lighter and more distance it gives you. I like the lighter because it does that, gives depth to the landscape and it just looks more natural."

"We could go interview all of our neighbors they could tell you that the Harbertsons were out here all summer long using this pavilion. I mean, we already used our backyard a lot. But this just doubled our usage. And it is great, you want kids here. You want to use your stuff. So it really helped extend the use of our backyard, and make it more functional. Even during the day, I could come sit out here by the pool and watch the kids swim and not be baked by the sun." - Megan Harbertson - UT
