Western Timber Frame™ is known for their unique The Dovetail Difference™ design which features a drop in dovetail. This wonderful design gives it an arbor, pergola, pavilion or gazebo kit more strength which also results in a magnificent, aesthetically pleasing, old word craftsman style without the show of unsightly bolts, lags, hangers and hardware. The drop in layout rafters are designed upon this same principle.
There are two main benefits of the drop-in rafter layout. The first is ease of installation. Because the timber beam that supports the rafters is already marked and slotted, you don’t have to measure anything or try to figure the proper spacing of your rafters.With easy interlocking corners and drop-in rafter layouts, the hard work is done for you by experienced craftsmen.
