A common misconception about timber is that it’s expensive. While different builds and styles may come with varying costs, adding timber to your home doesn’t have to break the bank. Adding timber accents to an existing structure provides you with the best of both worlds. You can add as much or as little as you like based on your budget while still getting that unparalleled rustic appeal.
Or you can do a total accent overhaul — whatever is in the cards for you! Sometimes, you already love the look of your home, be it because it’s modern or fits a specific colour theme. However, you feel timber accents may just take it to the next level.
Let’s go through how to add timber frame touches to a non-timber home:
Say you love the build of your home, but your entranceway is a little lacklustre. There’s something more that truly says, “Welcome home!”
And that could very well be a timber entranceway. Adding a timber entranceway provides a stunning, dignified, and glorious extension to your home. When you work with the right timber provider, such as Wolf Lake Timber Works, you can trust that we'll handcraft your new entranceway to convey a message; whether it's regal, rustic, warm, or inviting, our timber experts will create something to match your vision.
How you present your home speaks volumes about your aesthetic ideals. An entranceway is the primary way of accessing your home, and how you present it helps create the feeling a person experiences when they walk through the door.
Whether you're more attuned to classic or contemporary designs, Wolf Lake Timber Works' prefabricated pieces are guaranteed to add a sense of elegance and design to your preexisting architecture, for your current or future home. Our timber experts will build your timber entranceway to fit the build and aesthetic of your building. You don't have to settle for more subtle upgrades; you can opt for an upgrade that isn't only timelessly stylish, but also a statement piece that is sure to last in the long term.
Here is a brief overview of what Wolf Lake Timber Works offers. Keep in mind, we will also do custom builds:
A timeless design that blends tradition with versatility. Featuring a classic king post truss supported by sturdy posts and return beams, the Alpine creates a warm, welcoming ski-chalet feel that enhances any home’s façade.
A refined take on traditional timber design with a touch of artistry. The Boreal features a king post truss with a striking arched bottom chord, highlighting both craftsmanship and the natural beauty of Douglas fir.
A minimalist entrance that bridges classic and modern design. By removing the braces from the Alpine, the Horizon reveals more open space, drawing attention to the bold king post framed within a clean gable peak.
A contemporary entryway balancing rustic charm and modern simplicity. Its dramatic arched bottom chord serves as the focal point, making the Meridian a standout choice for neo-traditional homes or renovations using Douglas fir timbers.

Douglas fir timber is one of the most versatile materials in the timber industry and one of the most beautiful. Not only this, but they can actually support the structural integrity of the home. Timber posts and beams aren’t just beautiful; they also strengthen your home thanks to an impressive strength-to-weight ratio that comes from using Douglas fir, one of the strongest wood species in the industry.
In the industry, timber posts and beams are used for structural framing, not only looking beautiful but also helping support the integrity of your home for several years to come.
Here are some examples of excellent applications of timber posts and beams:
Screened porches and outdoor shelters.
Sunrooms, including three-season, four-season, and all-season designs.
Deck frames and other functional structural applications.
A great upgrade for porches that currently use cladded columns or vinyl caps.
Built with #1 grade, rough sawn, free of heart centre Douglas fir timbers.
Authentic mortise and tenon joinery.
No visible hardware once installed.
Comes with engineered drawings if needed.
