A pavilion is a lot more than just a shelter or an aesthetic addition to your home or business. It’s a place to enjoy your morning coffee, a place to host special backyard events, and family gatherings that bleed into the outdoors.
When you combine unwavering strength and timeless style, a timber pavilion stops being a functional structure; it becomes a defining focal point of your outdoor space.
At Wolf Lake Timber Works, we only use the highest quality Douglas fir timber, and prefabricate our structures in a controlled, specialized environment. Below, you’ll find some practical design ideas to help aid you in developing your dream timber pavilion, from design and creative ways to implement them.
Douglas fir timber is a high-quality material that is optimal for construction purposes. It has an excellent weight-to-strength ratio, as well as straight grain and modern aesthetics. Other soft woods can often be dented and require more maintenance, making Douglas fir our top choice. It balances durability with visual appeal.
When it comes to carefully designing pavilions, Douglas fir is an excellent option because of its durability and predictability as a material; this allows architects and builders to create bold and unique designs with little concern of the material failing. This not only means your timber structure will look amazing, but you can rest assured that it’s sturdy and very safe. All while still offering a premium aesthetic.
When developing your vision for an outdoor timber structure, you have to really consider the pavilion’s style and functionality. Depending on where you want your structure, it’s important to know what’s available. Wolf Lake Timber Works offers several models of varying styles and key architectural points:
Our Kawartha timber pavilion provides you with the highest quality outdoor living experience; emulating rustic elegance, the gabled roof adds a hint of tradition while remaining stylish and modern. One of the structure's key features is a king post truss, while also providing plenty of shelter to hold up in any weather.
The Canyon is sleek and created with sustainable Douglas fir timber. The Canyon pavilion is a combination of contemporary architecture and natural wooden allure, making it an irresistible choice for your outdoor space. A very modern choice with a low-slope roof, you can be assured that the Canyon pavilion will offer a warm space that enhances your outdoor lifestyle.
The Algonquin
The Algonquin is the picture of Wolf Lake's hand-crafted precision, featuring a king post truss on three or four sides, providing several entry points. The triple gable roof is unique in comparison to other models and effortlessly enhances your outdoor space.
Want to turn your background into a beautiful backyard retreat? Absolutely capture the hearts of friends and family with our Peninsula timber pavilion. The highlight of this beautiful timber structure is the traditional hip roof and a vaulted timber ceiling, highlighting the carefully crafted joinery. This structure is a stunning addition to any outdoor space.
Timber stains are also important. For outdoor pavilions, you need to use only the highest quality stains. Wolf Lake Timber Works offers a curated collection of said stains: Rosewood, Teak, Silver Poplar, Patina, Walnut, Red Cedar, Ebony, and classic Clear. However, you also have the option to go for an unstained finish, crisp white, or a mix-and match.
When it comes to completing the look of your timber pavilion, you can’t forget the flooring and additional furnishings. Perhaps you plan to use a pavilion to provide shade near a pool; maybe you want to craft an outdoor kitchen; or, possibly, you may just want a luxury patio.
If your project involves stonework, appliances, electrical, landscaping, or other additional features, our team is happy to accommodate and collaborate with your team on design and installation, ensuring your vision is seamlessly brought to life.
Please note that these options are just to help you envision ideas, they are not a direct recommendation. Rather, we work alongside you and your team to create your dream outdoor structure.
Concrete slabs, large-format pavers, or natural stone contrast beautifully with Douglas fir. However, you can also keep within the theme and opt for wood underfoot, or composite or hardwood flooring.
Outdoor rugs can truly change the aesthetic of a pavilion; you can go for rugs that feature natural fibres or more luxurious outdoor rugs with geometric patterning. Try layering throws and cushions over outdoor furniture with either muted palettes or even bold tones, depending on the season. Muted colours work great year-round, while colourful options can be individually matched for the season.
Depending on what your preferences are, you can match bench seating with matching wood staining and styles to create a cohesive look. If you prefer a little contrast, you can choose sturdy woven or metal furnishings with durable cushions.
The weather in your area should always influence your choices, so it’s important to opt for furniture that is area-appropriate. For tables, you can choose dining tables made of teak, hardwood, or even metal, as well as communal-style tables appropriate for larger crowds. When it comes to choosing bars, you could go for a portable style that can fold or easily be removed, or built-in bars with more permanent fixtures made of brick, wood, metal or concrete.
While a timber frame structure effortlessly complements nature, that doesn’t mean you need to discount adding electrical and tech features to your pavilion. Working with a reputable team allows you to create elements that allow more seamless integration of lighting and technology.
Lighting is truly how you provide atmosphere and longevity to your pavilion: it allows for all-day and night use while also capturing the precise look you had in mind. Here are some options:
Soft, dimmable linear LEDs can almost seamlessly be concealed within beams, providing a gentle, soft-lit effect. Perfect for a pavilion complementing stunning landscapes and gardens.
This refers to adjustable pendant lights or sconces that can be placed over dining or prep areas, providing both practical and attractive lighting.
Lanterns or string lights are excellent options that are relatively easy to install, creating a more intimate and cottage-core vibe.
Not only this, but prefabrication is also an excellent tool when it comes to integrating tech elements into a build. Our team works with your team to ensure our timber structures work with your desired vision.
Some examples of additional tech features could include:
Concealed wiring for speakers, lights, or even charging ports.
Built-in gas or electric heaters, creating the potential for year-round usage.
Smart controls that allow owners to adjust the light from their smart device.
We’ve briefly touched on some of the many functions of timber pavilions. In truth, they’re not just stunning timber structures; they’re highly functional outdoor spaces perfect for everyday life or events.
Here are some applications for a timber pavilion:
If you’ve dreamed of hosting large gatherings with grills and outdoor kitchen spaces, you need a dining pavilion. Often complete large central tables, integrated serving pizzas, and built-in cooking appliances. These timber pavilions are perfect for summertime celebrations and major milestones.
For the outdoorsy yogi fanatic or the folks who just need a quiet place to release a deep breath, a meditation and yoga pavilion is an excellent option. Usually crafted with minimal furnishings, these pavilions offer plenty of filter light with translucent panels and even built-in benches for storage. These can be complimented with mats and cushions for comfortable outdoor exercise and meditation.
You can literally be the life of the party with an entertainment hub pavilion. As the quirky name suggests, the entertainment hub is designed for outdoor fun. Complete with concealed AV, lounge seating, a compact bar, and screens for movie nights, it functions as the “it” spot for fun.
