Our Mid Sized Standard Pavilion
With a signature crook in its roofline and curving tie beams, our Flared Pavilion is reminiscent of the classic Japanese teahouse. The Flared is the mid-sized of our three standard pavilions, a little more spacious than the Rochester, and not as large as the Vershire. We have built the Flared for homeowners looking to build covered patio space, campgrounds, city parks, and schools looking for outdoor classroom space. Like our other standard pavilions, the smallest version of the Flared Roof pavilion is square in design, and additional timber frame cross sections can be added, to extend the building into longer and longer rectangular shapes. You can see measurements for the standard designs in the “Dimensions” section of this webpage.
A Unique Roof System Makes the Most of the Space
This flared roof pavilion is a king post frame with hefty roof purlins and a long ridge beam. These members are supported by upper chords, which are part of a truss assembly along with a curving bottom chord, the horizontal beam running from post to post. A unique feature of this frame is the corner posts’ tenons that pass through these lower chords and join into the upper chords. This frame also uses outshot braces, leaving more headroom in the main pavilion area.
Like all of our timber frame structures, this pavilion is built from locally sourced timber. We use White Oak posts for rot resistance, and Eastern White Pine for timbers that are higher up and protected by the roof. Rough cut pine boards make up the roof sheathing which is typically capped with metal standing seam roofing.
