Curved Braces
Gracefully curved braces add a natural sweep to the rigid timber frame. While softening the angular frame work, the curved braces add strength and rigidity to the structure.

Natural Wood Posts
Our solid 6″ x 6″ posts provide the perfect proportions for both beauty and strength. Large enough so they don’t appear spindly but not so large as to overwhelm the space. Built with naturally rot resistant Larch they take on a beautiful reddish hue similar to cedar but with the added benefit of increased durability and strength.
Hardwood Pegs
We use rot resistant black locust pegs to secure our joinery. Wood pegs won’t rust, cause streaks and can even be used as hooks for hanging baskets.
Decorative Purlin Ends
Our standard Purlin ends are gently curved and in proportion with other frame elements. This traditional Ogee style suits most backyard settings but can be changed to a variety of styles (see our options page) to suit your individual needs.
All Wood Joinery
All wood joinery adds exceptional strength and character to our frames. Handcrafted joinery adds an aspect of craftsmanship and tradition that enhances any setting and sets your pergola apart from other forms of construction.
