Fall, Winter, the Perfect Time for a Backyard Makeover

The Fall time is the very best time of year to plant trees or shrubs giving their roots a chance to develop healthy roots before next years heat. They do need to be kept hydrated in the absence of rain or snow.

It is also the perfect time to install a timber frame pergola, arbor, pavilion or gazebo kit or deck. During the fall and winter seasons so much can be done to improve your landscape or extend your home living area with an outdoor shade structure to enjoy the outdoors year-round. Best of all, is how fast and easy the installation process is.

Featured below is a 12' x 14' timber frame pergola kit installed in just one afternoon. The timber frame kit features Champion style beam and rafter end profiles, Classic style knee braces and is finished in a premium high-grade UV protective Early American stain.

It is amazing to see the ease and speed that one of these massive timber frame shade structures can be installed. There is not an easier heavy timber pavilion or gazebo kit to install than the kits from Western Timber Frame™. In many aspects, they are often easier to install than even typical hardware store kits because their sheer size and strength allow for posts to stand upright. This combined with the interlocking joints makes for a straightforward installation. Western Timber Frame™ uses The Dovetail Difference™ design, a massive mortise and tenon dovetail joint system throughout the timber construction process that creates very strong, rigid joints.

With The Dovetail Difference™, even on a large over-sized 20' beam, a post will just slide in, lock in place with a extremely tight seam without unsightly gaps. It allows the wood to naturally expand and contract in the outdoors, wherein you will not see any gaps as it is behind the dovetail mortise notch. Not only did The Dovetail Difference™ prove to be stronger it also adds to the beauty of the structure by maintaining a tighter more aesthetically pleasing joint.
