Clean lines, bold form, and purposeful beauty. Whether nestled in a backyard or beside a lake, this pavilion becomes a natural extension of your home.

Crafted with premium Douglas Fir, chosen for its strength, grain, and longevity. Every beam is precision-cut and hand-finished to last through seasons of sun, snow, and celebration.
Lifetime Product
Backed by a 10-year guarantee, but built to last a lifetime — a legacy structure that can be passed down and enjoyed for generations.
CUTEK® Stain
Protected and enriched with CUTEK® — a high-performance, penetrating oil stain that enhances natural grain, resists cracking, and stands up to UV rays, moisture, and the toughest climates.
NORWEH Structures
Sizes: Always measured in feet from outside post to outside post
Finish: CUTEK® Stain
Height: Inner height to bottom of beam = 8′ 2 1/2″. The peak height depends on the width.
10′ Width = 12′ Height
Each 2′ width increment = add 6″ height.
Pitch: 6:12 (26 degrees)
Overhang: The roof overhangs about 14″ past the post
Material: Douglas Fir Grade No. 1 Structural
Snow Load: 1-2 feet of snow
Roof: 2×6 tongue and groove roof boards included. These come as lengths and must be cut to during installation.
*Excluded: Shingles or metal for the roof is not included. Most customers choose something to match their property. A local roofing company can do this easily.
*Excluded: Post base brackets are not included. The most common footer is to anchor the post to Sonotube concrete footers. We recommend Ozco Post Base Brackets for $114 per bracket. Another popular footer is the screw piles fitted with a saddle and no need for additional brackets.
Footers & Foundations
Every NORWEH Pavilion starts with one thing: a strong, stable foundation. We recommend two trusted options for footings — both built to stand up to time, weather, and the test of craftsmanship. All footings are recommended to set below the frost line (typically 4ft) so the ground beneath stays stable year-round, preventing shifting or frost heave. Click here for more details regarding footers and foundations.
Option 1: Concrete Sonotube Footers
Option 2: Screw (Helical) Piles
We use CUTEK® Stain, the best-in-class wood protection oil, to keep your Douglas Fir structure looking beautiful for decades—without the typical headaches of wood maintenance.
Unlike regular stains that just coat the surface, CUTEK® penetrates deep into the wood, protecting it from the inside out. This means no peeling, flaking, or cracking—just rich, natural beauty that lasts.
It’s designed for extreme weather and works with the wood, not against it. All you need is a light recoat every 2–3 years to maintain color, or let it naturally silver over time while staying protected. You don’t have to worry about over-applying, the stain will just absorb into the wood and you’ll enjoy doing it!
✅ Stops moisture damage
✅ Prevents warping and splitting
✅ Easy maintenance (no sanding or stripping!)
