Pavilions & Gazebos

Our Pavilions – Extend Your Shade

The A-Frames

Our A-Frames are structures that have a roof with two slopes that form an “A” or triangle. This style is also referred to as a Shed style structure. It’s steep symmetrical design allows us to create a beautiful tongue and groove ceiling.

The Single-Pitch

The Single-Pitch structure has only one slope as the roof. This style gives you a modern look, along with a metal roof to extend it’s durability against the elements. Our single-pitch allow design flexibility, making it great as an addition next to, or combined with, our other structures.

Complete Coverage & Protection

Pavilions and Gazebos are a great way to create a cozy outdoor living space that offers complete coverage and protection from the elements. With a variety of styles and options you can be sure to find a custom structure that fits your needs. Speak with a Notched specialist for a free consultation on styles and options.

Each structure is made to fit our clients’ unique space, style, and needs. We make our timber frame Pavilions and Gazebos with rough-sawn Douglas Fir #1 or BTR FOHC timbers to provide a top-quality and beautifully finished structure.

Our Seamless Construction

We have combined the durability and craftsmanship of “Old World” methods and modern technology to create beautifully seamless structures. Utilizing our famous Dovetail joint construction, our timber structures slide together resulting in a clean, classy, and sturdy timber frame. You won’t have to look at unattractive metal hangers or brackets any more!

The Mammoth

The Mammoth is one of our great freestanding structures and is designed to cover a lot of space while not needing a permit! This is actually one of our largest structures, and made such a great impression that it won “Best of Show” in the Salt Lake Tribune Home and Garden Show.

The Zen Den

The Zen Den is one of our most popular structures because it has so much to offer. This structure brings it all together – beauty, function and price! The cantilevered pergola extends the shade coverage and offers an added level of visual interest along with the beautiful V-groove appearance of the solid pine ceiling.

What is the difference between a Gazebo, Pavilion & Ramada?

If you have heard the terms Ramada, pavilions and gazebos but wondered what are the distinctions between the three, you are not alone. These terms are often confusing to people and used incorrectly. This post should help clarify some of the confusion.

GazeboS

Like a Ramada, the gazebo is an outdoor structure made with a solid roof to provide shade and protection from rain etc. The gazebo is typically built with a “hip” roof and can have any number of sides from 3 or 4 to 8 or more sides. The roof is not open to the surrounding. However, we can build the ceiling with exposed supports or (often as a general contractor grade) will have some kind of ceiling to cover the roof supports. We build our timber framed gazebos with exposed timber ceilings, so are more similar to the Ramada’s of Arizona.

Pavilions

Pavilions are typically open on all four sides and are large enough structures that make it easy to use for parties, get togethers and other events. Due to its ornamental structure, you can usually find Pavilions in a garden, park, or place of recreation and the canopy/tent like roof provides ultimate shade from the sun and heat and protection from the rain and snow. It used to be that Pavilions were and light temporary or semi-permanent but our #1 grade Douglas Fir cut free-of-heart ensures that you will be able to enjoy your timber structure for years to come!

Ramadas

The use of the term Ramada originated in Spain and traditionally is used to describe an outdoor shelter made of thatching or branches. However, in modern terms, especially in areas such as Arizona, California, and New Mexico the term Ramada is used to describe a structure similar to a gazebo especially an exposed timber framed gazebo. Check out a unique design which some may call an Arizona timber Ramada kit, or in Utah a timber pavilion kit. But we call it the “Zen Den“, which is a contemporary take on a roofed timber structure.

Long story short although there are clear distinctions between the three structures, when referring to a timber frame construction the Ramada, gazebo and pavilion are very similar, and the terms can be used almost interchangeably. So don’t hesitate if you don’t know exactly which term to use in conversation. The message will come across. Say whatever suites you… either way we can build it!
