Pergolas, Gazebos & Pavilions
Pergolas, Gazebos & Pavilions built by Greg
Sometimes the best room on the property is outside. A pavilion puts a roof over a picnic table, an outdoor kitchen or a family gathering, rain or shine. A pergola shades a patio and frames the yard, and a gazebo turns a corner of the garden into a place to sit. Boxed kits rarely look right or last long in this weather. A structure built on site, on real footings and sized for wind and rain, fits the space and stays put.
Greg Myers built the timber-frame pavilion in his photos, with heavy trusses, big posts and an open view out to the mountains. He brings that same timber work to pergolas, gazebos and pavilions, from a simple backyard pergola to a large pavilion for a farm or event space. Greg handles the design, permit, footings, framing, roofing and finish work, so one builder is responsible for the whole structure and you are left with a clean site when it is done.

Questions
Pergolas, Gazebos & Pavilions FAQs
Will a pergola or pavilion stand up to Western Washington weather?
It will if it is built for it. We use rot-resistant or treated wood, keep post bases up off the concrete so they don't sit in water, and size the footings and connections for wind on open ground. A pavilion with a full roof, or a pergola with a clear roof, also gives you a dry spot through the wet months.
How much does a pavilion or pergola cost?
Size, timber dimensions, roof type, footings or slab, and finish details set the price. An open-rafter pergola costs less than a fully roofed timber pavilion with a concrete floor. During the free on-site estimate, Greg can price a few different sizes so you can compare.
What's the difference between a pergola, a gazebo and a pavilion?
A pergola has posts and open rafters overhead, sometimes with a clear roof added. A gazebo is a smaller freestanding structure, often six- or eight-sided, with a solid roof. A pavilion is usually larger and open-sided with a full roof, made for gatherings, tables or an outdoor kitchen.
Can you build a pergola attached to my house?
Yes. An attached pergola is fastened to the house and flashed so water doesn't get behind the siding, with posts and footings at the outer edge. It is a good way to shade a patio or deck right off the back door.
Can you build a large pavilion for a farm or event space?
Yes. Larger pavilions use heavy timber or post-frame construction to get wide open spans with no posts in the way. They work well on farm properties and event grounds, and they can be built over a concrete slab.
