20 Super Fast Before & After Backyard Makeovers
Living water is water that moves. Slow flowing or motionless water provides a hatchery for insects, mosquitoes and other disease transmitting organisms. So it is with the air that we breathe. There is life in air and air that becomes stagnant inside of a closed or sealed up room, can be much like a pond that becomes over covered with scum. Opening windows to some good moving air can change the feel of a whole room. Your body needs the revitalizing vitamins it receives from clean moving air or life-giving motion.
Our bodies also never outgrow a need to spend some play time in the outdoors and drink in the sunshine. An outdoor room just invites you to come outside and enjoy the fresh air everyday with your family.
One of the many benefits of an outdoor shade structure from Western Timber Frame™ is that they are not only fast to install but are so incredibly easy to install. Each piece of these massive oversized solid wood timbers has already been pre-cut, pre-drilled and pre-tested for a perfect fit. So when you get your kit they go together in many ways, easier than a little hardware store kit; and definitely it is more fun!
A "Kit" does not mean a cookie cutter design like hardware store kits are. Each kit is custom designed to the individual homeowners backyard dreams, specific needs and for the layout of their unique landscape.
Here are 20 featured before and after timber frame DIY pergola kits that were installed in just a few hours. To see the before and after examples on some of the pictures, run the mouse over it to see the before.
These outdoor shade structures were installed quickly, and stress-free. It is quite something to see the enthusiasm of a neighbor or friend who has gone out for something and comes back in a few hours and “Wah, lah!” -- there is a new outdoor living area in your yard.
