Covered Patios and Garden Pavilions

Covered patios and garden pavilions with open sides, strong posts, a handsome roof and room for seating and dining, a shaded retreat for the yard.

A pavilion gives your yard a destination. A roof and posts create shade, shelter and a stage for tables, swings or a fire pit. Homeowners in Nashville often use pavilions to extend their living space and to make a quiet corner of the garden worth visiting every day.

We position the pavilion for sun and views, choose a roof shape and materials that suit the house and plan footings, posts and beams for wind. We add ceiling fans, lights and outlets, plan a floor of pavers, concrete or decking and add screens if you want protection from insects. We make sure rain runs away from seating areas. A pavilion needs to feel like part of the garden. We study how the sun moves, where the wind comes from and where people will want to look, then place the structure to take advantage. Roof overhang controls shade and rain, and posts framing a favorite tree or view make the space memorable. Paths, lights and plantings around the edges help the pavilion settle into the landscape rather than sit on it.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

    You tell us what you want to build or fix, how you will use it and where it will sit, and we ask about the lot and your timing.

    Visit and measure the site

    We walk the lot, check slope, drainage, access, utilities and setbacks, and take photos and measurements.

    Review the plan and estimate

    You get a plain written estimate with the size, materials, foundation, finishes and schedule before anything is ordered.

    The frame, roof, siding, doors and windows go up, then the interior, power and trim are finished to the plan.

  6. 06

    Walk through and care

    We walk the finished building with you, leave a care guide and photos and make it easy to schedule a checkup.

Questions

Garden Pavilions FAQ

How big should a pavilion be?

Large enough for the table or seating you want with room to move. We draw options with you.

Can it have screens?

Yes. Screens add comfort and need framing and doors.

What about wind?

Footings and bracing are sized for it, and we explain the limits of open structures.

Can it have a fireplace?

That adds clearances, flues and permits, and we discuss them early.

Will rain blow in?

Roof overhang, screens or side panels help.
