Custom Teton Pavilion: Summertime Fun
Summer is fun all day with this 18' x 20' Custom Timber Frame Pavilion. Based on our Teton Style, this western-inspired pavilion has king post trusses with arched bottom chords. This pavilion was specifically designed to tie in to the customer’s home, and accommodate a fireplace and an additional wall for cabinets. Guests can enjoy dinner and a poolside drink, thanks to the kitchen, outdoor grill, and bar, all under the pavilion. Powdered steel strapping and hardware was added to give the timbers an extra layer of visual appeal. Reclaimed barn board was used for the roof decking, matching an accent wall in the back, and flowing through the L-shaped bar. A full dining area resides in the center of the pavilion, next to the fireplace, and a mounted TV on the barn board accent wall allows for endless entertainment. Let’s take a closer look at the details of this striking poolside pavilion.
