Elevate Your Outdoor Experience
Handcrafted from hand-selected, premium Douglas Fir timbers, our timber frame pavilions and gazebos transform ordinary landscapes into extraordinary outdoor retreats.
Each structure is a unique, custom-designed showpiece crafted with the enduring strength and beauty of traditional mortise and tenon joinery, even in varied weather. We take pride in crafting structures designed to be enjoyed not just today, but for generations to come – adding warmth, character, and lasting value to any property.
Our signature timber frame pavilions designs are the starting point for our collaborative design process. Everything, from size and shape to stain, finish, roofline, and decorative details, are fully customized to bring your vision to life. Nothing we build is off-the-shelf.
Outdoor living at its finest, our Kawartha timber pavilion encapsulates rustic elegance with its traditional gabled roof and heavy timber construction. Featuring a stunning king post truss, the Kawartha provides shade and shelter, creating a space for entertaining in any weather.
With sleek lines and crafted from sustainably sourced Douglas fir, our Canyon pavilion seamlessly blends contemporary style with natural wood charm. This modern timber frame features a low-slope roof, creating an inviting space that redefines outdoor living.
Handcrafted with precision, our Algonquin timber pavilion features a king post truss on three of four sides, opening it up to multiple entry points. The triple gable roof provides unique visual interest and elevates any outdoor living space.
Transform your backyard into a captivating retreat with our Peninsula timber pavilion. Highlighting a traditional hip roof, the Peninsula features a vaulted timber ceiling that showcases the intricate joinery, creating an unmatched outdoor living experience.
Personalize every detail to create a timber frame gazebo or pavilion that is well and truly one-of-a-kind.
Dimensions: Whether it’s an intimate timber frame gazebo or a large timber frame gazebo for commercial or event spaces, we have the expertise to bring your vision to life.
Premium Stains: Choose from our curated collection of high-quality stains, including Rosewood, Teak, Silver Poplar, Patina, Walnut, Red Cedar, Ebony, and Clear. We can also provide a natural, unstained finish, a crisp white, or mix and match stains on various parts of the structure.
Gable Trusses: Customize the look of your gables with custom truss designs, from the traditional to modern, rustic to minimalist.
Roofline: Define the silhouette of your timber frame with a steep pitch, a gentle slope, or the stately elegance of a hip roof.
Post, Beam and Bracket Detailing: Whether serving as decorative features or structural supports, these details add yet another opportunity to make your timber frame pavilion or gazebo unique.
Lighting and Electrical: We’ll design your structure to rough in all your future lighting and electrical needs, creating a clean finished look free of unsightly wiring.
Stonework, Appliances and More: Have a project that involves stonework, appliances, electrical, or landscaping? We’re happy to collaborate with your team on design and installation to make sure everything comes together seamlessly.
The difference is in the details. These are the hallmarks of quality that define every Wolf Lake timber frame.
Premium #1 Grade Rough-Sawn Douglas Fir Timbers: We source only the finest, hand-selected, #1 grade Douglas Fir timbers, rough sawn for an authentic, rustic texture. We use Free of Heart Centre timbers for less checking and a nicer finish for years to come. 8x8 posts are standard, with upgrades available if you want an even more substantial structure. Your pavilion or gazebo is capped with 2x6 Douglas Fir tongue-and-groove roof decking.
All Timbers and Tongue-and-Groove Sanded and Pre-Stained: Your timber frame structure arrives fully finished, with a rich, lustrous stain that brings out the wood's natural beauty. We meticulously sand and pre-stain every timber and roof board so that it’s ready to assemble and enjoyed right away.
Authentic Mortise and Tenon Joinery: Our timber frames are secured with traditional mortise and tenon joinery, a hallmark of old-world craftsmanship. This time-tested method delivers a strong, lasting structure with a heritage feel.
No Visible Hardware: The beauty of the timber framing should speak for itself – no unsightly bolts or brackets to distract from the natural beauty of the wood. We keep all hardware hidden, creating clean, elegant lines and a seamless look that complements any architectural style. Hidden hardware also makes the structure more weather-resistant, requiring less future maintenance.
Set of Engineered Drawings: Every project begins with a detailed set of stamped, engineered drawings. This ensures precise construction, facilitates permitting, and provides a clear blueprint of the finished masterpiece before the first timber is cut.
Delivery and/or Installation: To make the process truly seamless, we offer expert delivery and installation services. Our skilled team can handle both the coordination and installation of your timber frame, or your team can assemble it with our expert guidance.

Wolf Lakes Timber Works gets my highest recommendation. They started with design help and great communication and finished by building a post and beam pavilion that is expertly constructed and finely finished. The crew is professional and tidy. They’re friendly, courteous, and work safely. They did exactly what they promised, plus more, on time, and left the worksite cleaner than they found it. Other small businesses could use Wolf Lake as a benchmark.

A timber frame structure instantly elevates any landscape, transforming it into an unforgettable oasis and gathering place for friends, family, and guests. The sheer presence of these structures, with their exposed joinery and the natural beauty of the wood, commands attention and admiration. They become the focal point, adding depth, character, and a sense of grandeur that simply can't be replicated with other materials. It is a way to set your builds apart.
Timber frame construction has a rich history, evoking a sense of warmth, heritage, and connection to nature. The look and feel of real wood possess a universal appeal that transcends fleeting trends. For new builds, it can add a sense of establishment that makes a house feel like a home immediately.
