What we build

Pavilions.
A destination in your own backyard.

Add a solid-roof gathering place designed around shelter, seating, and the setting.

Plan your project
Designed around your home

A destination in your own backyard.

A pavilion creates a covered outdoor destination with a solid roof. It can frame a dining area or lounge and offer more overhead shelter than an open pergola.

Roof proportions, column placement, drainage, and the connection to nearby hardscaping guide the design. A freestanding structure should feel connected to the home through the paths and spaces around it.

What we’ll work through together

  • Where should the pavilion sit in relation to the house?
  • How will roof runoff be managed?
  • Which post locations leave comfortable room for furniture?

From concept to completed space

Start with a free consultation and a custom 3D design. We discuss materials, access, and the written project scope together. Structural details and any required approvals are determined for the specific property.

Pavilions questions.

How does a pavilion differ from a pergola?

A pavilion has a solid roof, while a typical pergola uses open overhead framing. Compare the shelter, daylight, roof drainage, and visual weight you want before choosing the structure.

What determines the project estimate?

The design, dimensions, material system, elevations, site access, structural work, and finishing details establish the project scope. A consultation is the starting point for an estimate specific to your property.

Do I receive a design before the build?

RC Deck Co offers a custom 3D design so the layout and details can be discussed before construction. Confirm deliverables, the schedule, and the final scope in the written project agreement.
