Timber Frame Pavilions tend to cost more than standard wood or vinyl pavilions because they require significantly more wood than a standard pavilion. The massive timbers are high quality wood sourced from the West Coast. Additionally, higher quality craftsmanship is required for intricate joinery techniques such as the mortise and tenon. Both the high-quality labor and materials lead to the cost of Timber Frame Pavilions being higher than standard wood or vinyl pavilions. However, the longevity of a timber frame pavilion and, of course, their striking aesthetic appeal prove that they are a structure worth investing in. 

Douglas Fir is an exceptional choice for outdoor construction, celebrated for its remarkable strength and natural resilience. Its resistance to rot and warping and its prevalence throughout the U.S. make it a safe and environmentally friendly choice for outdoor building structures. 

At Pequea, we use #1 and better Douglas Fir sourced from the West Coast for all our structures. Our natural air-drying process allows our carefully chosen wood to lose moisture gradually, reducing the likelihood of warping or cracking. This process is cost-effective, requires no special equipment or energy usage, and maintains the structural integrity of these large timbers. 

While the terms “Post-and-Beam” and “Timber Frame” are often used interchangeably, they refer to two distinct construction methods. Our pavilions are true timber frame structures, built using traditional mortise and tenon joinery—precisely cut with computer-operated CNC machines to ensure a stable, secure fit. 

In contrast, post-and-beam construction, though visually similar, relies on metal connectors such as steel plates and bolts to join the timbers. True timber framing relies solely on expert woodworking joinery techniques.

Timber frame buildings can last for decades or even centuries if maintained properly. Timber frame pavilions are unlikely to last as long as other timber frame buildings as most of the structure is exposed to all outside elements. This exposure makes them less likely to achieve the same longevity as fully enclosed timber frame buildings. With regular maintenance, such as sealing, staining, and protecting the wood from moisture and pests, a timber frame pavilion can still offer many years of beauty and functionality, potentially lasting several decades. 

Adding a fireplace or chimney to a timber frame pavilion is a popular addition to these homey outdoor structures. The most popular location to add a chimney is in the center of the gable, which makes the chimney and fireplace the centerpiece of the inside of the pavilion. 

Hear From Our Customers

“I recently had a pavilion built as a part of a backyard project. From beginning to end, my experience with Pequea staff and their craftsman was exemplary. They were all very knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and wonderful to deal with.

I was also building an attached fireplace to the pavilion by another contractor. Kevin, from Pequea was very knowledgeable at such a detailed level, I knew he was very experienced. When we reviewed the project, I truly felt like he was helping build a family member’s pavilion.”

James L.

“Our experience with Pequea was a very pleasant and smooth process. Beginning with the sale, I told Elmer what we needed and he prepared a custom 3d design of what I described to him. They were diligent and always responsive to my questions. The final product is absolutely amazing. The structure exceeded our expectations. My client’s family is looking forward to using their new pavilion when the weather gets nice. I could absolutely recommend Pequea; they are a great company to work with.”

Juan Donado

“Pequea did a great job from helping me draw out and design what I wanted, to building the last piece. I like their professional way of doing business and always looking out for their customer. I love the pavilion and could recommend Pequea to anyone looking for a Timber Frame structure.”

Elam Lapp

“I wanted to send a note that Arlin, Elmer, Andrew, and Emanuel were a great crew.  They were fast, courteous, and did a real quality job…my garage is very well crafted and exactly to the plans.  In fact, the local building inspector, who is known to be difficult and hard to please, commented to my wife that he was impressed with the quality of the garage and the work!  I can’t say how much I appreciate Pequea working with me through the design changes, install dates, and the finished product.” 

Matt R.

“We are extremely pleased with the quality of both the shed and the installation and have already recommended your company to friends who have seen it. The overall service and responsiveness by the Pequea team is very much at the top end of suppliers and contractors that I have dealt with”

Mark & Dawn Dodd

“We were very happy with our experience with Pequea. We had a custom shed built and are very pleased with the final product. Kevin and the staff were a pleasure to work with. Elmer was so helpful with the customization of the shed. The installer went above and beyond when given the difficult task of navigating a narrow driveway along the side of our cabin. He went the extra mile to make it work. I highly recommend Pequea! Excellent customer service and excellent quality!” 

Andrea Shepanski

“I received excellent service! Everyone was so helpful and accommodating. Love my shed. It was well built. I purchased it with shelves on one side and once it was installed I wanted shelves on the other side. They were more than happy to return to put shelves on the other side. I recommend them to everyone who wants a well made and well-priced shed.” 

 

Linda Owad

“Fast service, great product.  Exactly what I asked for at a fair price compared to others I searched.  Delivered on time.  Perfect customer experience.  Thanks to all involved.” 

 

Daniel LaCivita

“These guys FAR EXCEEDED my expectations. From Elmer coming out and helping with the design/ quote to the team that raised my roof in a day, I couldn’t be more pleased. It’s rare you come across a contractor nowadays that is courteous throughout the process, shows up when they say they will, and gives you more than you could have hoped for!”

Dennis Hodgson
