Handcrafted Timber Structures
Built From Real Timbers — Not Manufactured Kits
We Build Heavy Timber Pavilions By Hand — From Full-Thickness Timbers
Because how the wood is prepared matters just as much as the wood itself.
Why We Don’t Plane Timbers Smooth
When timber is heavily planed, the surface becomes compressed and tight.
The grain gets closed off.
It looks clean. Sharp. Perfect.
But that smooth, sealed surface doesn’t absorb stain the same way.
The finish tends to sit more on the surface instead of penetrating deeply into the grain. Over time — especially in Ontario weather — surface-level stain breaks down faster.
Sun. Snow. Freeze-thaw. Moisture.
Outdoor structures live a hard life.
We hand-sand our timbers instead of over-machining them. The grain remains open. The wood can accept stain properly. The finish bonds deeper.
It doesn’t just coat the outside.
It soaks in.
The result is a structure that ages naturally instead of peeling or flashing unevenly after a season or two.
Structures We Build
Pavilions
Fully covered heavy-timber structures designed for real outdoor living. Engineered for Ontario snow loads.
Pergolas
Open timber structures that define space with strength and proportion.
Covered Outdoor Rooms
Custom extensions of your home — thoughtfully scaled, carefully built, and finished for longevity.
Built the Right Way
Every Ontario Outdoor Rooms structure is:
• Custom designed
• Built in-house
• Engineered when required
• Installed on proper footings or helical piles
We don’t fasten lightweight structures to siding.
We don’t reduce timber size to hit price points.
We build structures meant to outlast trends — and feel solid for decades.
