Roofed pavilions and shelters with posts, framing and finishes that give you shade and rain cover for dining, lounging and gatherings.
A pavilion is a roof with open sides, and it can handle anything from a family dinner to a graduation party. Unlike a pergola, a pavilion has a solid roof, so it keeps rain and hot sun off the people beneath it. Owners in Nashville build pavilions beside pools, over outdoor kitchens and at the edge of a lawn where they can host more guests than a patio holds.
Your designer plans the size, roof style, posts and framing, and how the pavilion meets the ground, whether on a slab, pavers or a deck. The crew sets footings and posts, frames the roof, installs sheathing and roofing that matches the house or complements it and adds ceiling finishes, fans and lights. The scope lists the structure, roofing, electrical needs and finish details, with permit steps noted.
The roof shape and pitch can match the house, from simple shed roofs to gables, and gutters can carry water away.
Posts, beams and rafters are sized for wind and snow loads and tied to proper footings, so the structure stays solid.
Ceiling finishes, fans, lights and heaters make a pavilion comfortable day and night, and we plan wiring in advance.
A pavilion needs a stable slab or footings, and we design the surface and drainage to suit the structure.
