A timber frame pavilion is the single best outdoor structure investment a Pennsylvania property owner can make. Built from Eastern Hemlock with traditional mortise and tenon joinery, a Premier Timber Frame Builders pavilion gives you a covered outdoor gathering space that serves your family for 50 years or more. Pennsylvania’s warm, humid summers and unpredictable thunderstorm season make covered outdoor space especially valuable — a quality pavilion transforms a backyard into a true outdoor living room, usable rain or shine.
Our Pennsylvania pavilion projects range from intimate 12×16 backyard retreats to grand 30×50 event pavilions for farms, estates, and recreational properties. Every pavilion is custom designed for your specific property, your vision, and your intended use. We build across all 67 Pennsylvania counties.
What We Build
Eastern Hemlock Timber
Native to Pennsylvania, Eastern Hemlock provides the structural integrity and natural beauty that makes timber frame pavilions exceptional. It ages to a warm silver-gray patina outdoors and accepts stain beautifully for a more finished look.
Traditional Mortise and Tenon Joinery
Every joint is cut by hand using centuries-old techniques that create mechanical connections stronger than hardware. No hidden bolts or metal plates — just honest wood joinery that will hold your pavilion together for generations.
Custom Sizing and Configuration
From 12×14 cottage pavilions to 28×48 event structures, we design to your space and needs. Open sides, partial walls, built-in benches, ceiling fans, electrical rough-in, and integrated lighting are all available options.
Engineered for Pennsylvania Weather
Pennsylvania’s snow loads, wind exposure, and freeze-thaw cycles require properly engineered structures. Every Premier pavilion is designed for local building codes and climate conditions, with roof pitches and structural members sized for real Pennsylvania winters.
Turnkey or Kit Options
We offer fully installed pavilions with our professional crew, or DIY kits with all timber pre-cut and joinery pre-shaped for property owners who want to build with their own hands. Both options deliver genuine Eastern Hemlock craftsmanship.
Service Area
We build timber frame pavilions throughout Pennsylvania — Lancaster, York, Dauphin, Chester, Berks, Montgomery, Bucks, Lehigh, Northampton, Cumberland, Centre, Perry, Lebanon, Allegheny, Washington, Butler, Westmoreland, and all 67 PA counties.
