Homeowners seeking to create a new and dramatic backyard makeover with unparalleled durability, lasting impact, in the smallest amount of time, can find it in a Western Timber Frame™ ShadeScape™ pergola kit. Architecturally landscaping with a timber frame arbor, gazebo, pavilion or pergola is a practical way to create a fabulous outdoor family retreat economically. Most impressively is the speed in which a Western Timber Frame™ ShadeScape™ timber kit can be installed giving you a beautiful yard with a completely new look in as little as ONE AFTERNOON!

Even with the speed that these kits can be installed they are not a cookie cutter kit in a set size. Western Timber Frame™ does not keep any actual “kits” in stock because each kit is a CUSTOM CREATION, massive in size and offered at a kit price.
When a Western Timber Frame™ ShadeScape™ arbor, gazebo, pavilion or pergola kit is shipped to its new home, it goes out on the back of a semi trailer, instead of 2-3 cardboard boxes, or on a small pallet. These kits basically sell themselves once people really grasp the quality and incredible value. Western Timber Frame™ is also consistently hundreds to even thousands of dollars lower than comparable size and quality of kits, which is just one of the many reasons why they are the #1 pergola and pavilion kit manufacturer in the United States and Canada.
An average cookie cutter kit from a big box store will probably weight somewhere around 200 to 380 lbs., will have spliced beams and be limited in size. A Western Timber Frame™ ShadeScape™ timber kit will weigh an average of 3,000 to 4,550 lbs. in weight, and are completely solid in their construction.
Despite their massive size, more often than not, they are actually easier and quicker to assemble than a kit that is ten to thirty times smaller in weight. Western Timber Frame™ utilizes a patent-pending dovetail joint method for our beam and post connections. Everything is pre-cut, pre-finished, and ready to assemble. The main “downside” is the weight of the posts and beams. You’ll need to invite over a friend or two to lift each end of the beams in place, but once the beams are set in place that weight locks everything into position with Western Timber Frame™ dovetail joint system.


Western Timber Frame™ is strong in their love of family, community and America which is the reason they choose not to have a salesman to sell their products. They believe that if a product adds to people’s quality of life with their family and it is responsibly engineered, built to last wherein their great-great-great etc., grandchildren could enjoy it too, the product itself will sell itself.
Western Timber Frame™ hires artistic Design Managers whose passion and expertise is much like a sculptor who sees beyond the block of clay unfolding his next great masterpiece. They thrive on designing personalized outdoor living environments according to each individual homeowners dream and then seeing it become a reality, literally an heirloom masterpiece.
The process works like this:


When people call and ask for a Design Manager, they can give them a quick no obligation quote. The Design Managers work with you to determine what your needs are for your unique situation. They work for you to help you create a truly personal outdoor living space based on your needs. They’ll listen to you, and in turn ask you questions to help you create a truly inviting outdoor living environment that fits your needs and your budget. This whole process usually takes less than 20 minutes. At this point they can give you current pricing based on your needs relative to current material costs.
At this point, you will have current pricing based on your project requirements. Then, when you move forward with your project, your Design Manager will work with their team of in House Architects to create a 3D rendering of your outdoor living space.
Western Timber Frame™ offers this as part of every purchase so that you can see a 3D rendering of your project before it’s even built. This is just one of the ways they help you create a beautiful and functional outdoor living space, rather than just toss up a low quality pergola kit. There are some Landscaping Firms that will charge hundreds, or even thousands of dollars just for the service and time of creating a visual 3D representation of your project. Western Timber Frame™ not only offers this to you as a free service, but they also give you the expertise of a professional Design Manager to assist you along the way.
This is just one of the many ways that the people at Western Timber Frame™ work for you to create a handcrafted pergola, or pavilion, featuring their patent pending dovetail construction. Western Timber Frame™ also has hundreds of trademarked designs ensuring that your outdoor living space not only fits your lifestyle and budget, but is truly unique.


Every yard is distinctive and it is great to be able to implement it with your own individual style and specific tastes and yet circumstantial influences can affect our choices. In America, more than ever before, homeowners are trending towards more eco-friendly landscapes. The popularity of xeriscaping has grown with low maintenance, water conservation using fragrant native desert plants, playful wildflowers and less lawn. Trees need water and root growth contained. A timber frame shade structures have the same comfortable, natural shade of trees.
