All credit to our amazing Western Timber Frame™ team and Danielle with Cahoon Interiors, Knights Mattress and Furniture. Every one gave their best, working hard to make this a great show for our clientele and future clients to really enjoy. We have been very blessed and are grateful to receive the Best of Show award again.

We'd like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who helped us win the Best of Show at this years Winter Home Show! Thank you to the staff at the Salt Lake Home Show, Deseret News, Danielle with Cahoon Interiors, Knights Mattress and Furniture, Fox 13, ABC4Utah and KSLTV.

Western Timber Frame™ specializes in solid timber structures, such as pergolas, gazebos, pavilions, arbors, trellises, post and beam, trusses, and more. At this years January 2016 South Towne Expo Center home and garden show, this is the third time in a row that Western Timber Frame™ was awarded Best of Show! We couldn't be more pleased! Howbeit, I am not sure if our stellar Design Manager, Brian was happier over the award or being the one to receive it from such a pretty girl. He is single so it is a natural to kid him.

Last year, 2015 was truly a fantastic year at Western Timber Frame™. We have really been blessed and in a large part it is due to our word-of-mouth clientele for which we are grateful. The world is full of choice people. On a personal note, I have really enjoyed working with the people from Western Timber Frame™ who are passionate in creating the best in outdoor living environments to bring families and communities closer to build a stronger America.

We are all looking so forward to 2016, the new year, and as well received as this show was we believe that January's home and garden show is only the beginning! Now, for a look at some highlights of the show and some of Western Timber Frame™ our newest product and details on our patent pending Tuscany style concrete posts and Best of Show booth and displays throughout the South Towne Expo Center Home & Garden Show.

A beautiful traditional style timber frame pergola was displayed over the front entrance of the South Towne Expo Center home and garden show. This show is so much fun to do.  Pictured here are two gentlemen who asked me to take their picture for our web site. It's people like this who put a smile on the world's face; they were entertaining.

The entryway pergola at the South Towne Expo Center home and garden show was a built from Douglas-fir and featured an extended radius roof, Roosevelt style beam and rafter end profiles, Class style knee braces, two full arched knee braces with decorative keystones and finished in the premium high-grade UV protective Rich Cordoba stain. Extended radius and half radius style roofs are not only beautifully eye-catching but they offer additional shade in many outdoor settings. Decorating outdoors is especially easy with a timber frame pergola as a focal point or a warm backdrop. We have seen some fantastic wedding, birthday and special event decor with pergola as in the example pictured here.

Built in or freestanding bars are a nice addition to a timber frame pergola. The bar worked out nice for storing our belongings throughout the show. Serving at a bar like this would be perfect for entertaining several guests and storing of drinks.

best of show pergola

Every show, has featured a new idea, a new product, a show stopper. We are so looking forward to this year with this new product, master-minded again of course by Hyrum. These patent-pending concrete Tuscany style posts are wind rated at 110+ mph! They have a nice finished stony texture that doesn’t need painting! It was fun to see that others were as enthusiastic as we are about them!

We are anticipating the upcoming home and garden show in February in Ogden, Utah with so many other works in the making! Yeah! We welcome you if are in the Ogden area to check out the home and garden show and see how massively large these structures really are up close. See for yourself just what makes a Western Timber Frame™ architectural shade structure easier, faster and so much stronger.
