The desire to extend the backyard hosting season has completely transformed how homeowners in Western Wisconsin view landscape design. Standard decks and generic concrete patios are no longer enough; instead, property owners are looking to create high-end, multi-season outdoor rooms that carry the same architectural presence as the main home. For those living in growing residential communities throughout La Crosse, Tomah, and the greater Monroe County area, achieving this level of permanence requires moving past short-lived backyard fixtures and embracing the undeniable realness of authentic timber framing.


By introducing a custom backyard pavilion to your property, you instantly create a focal point that defines your entire landscape. Sourced from the finest slow-grown timber and prepared using traditional timberframing skills, these pre-engineered timber kits allow you to bring premium Amish craftsmanship directly to your Western Wisconsin address.



Designing for the High-End Wisconsin Aesthetic

A modern outdoor room should feel like a natural extension of your home's interior styling, respecting both the natural topography of the land and the architectural lines of your property. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Central Timber Frame Supply offers distinct structural styles, allowing you to tailor the visual weight and truss configuration to your specific backyard footprint.


Whether your property sits on a wooded lot overlooking the Mississippi River bluffs in La Crosse or an expansive rural acreage near Tomah, choosing the right truss style dictates the entire atmosphere of your outdoor living space:


  • The Classic A-Frame: Known for its clean symmetry and steep roofline, this design brings a timeless, stately look that pairs perfectly with traditional residential architecture.
  • The Majestic Curved King: Featuring hand-curved struts flanking a prominent vertical center post, this style adds a touch of sophisticated artistry, making it a favorite for upscale pool houses and premium patio designs.
  • The Soaring Arch Hammer: Utilizing advanced architectural framing to eliminate horizontal tie beams, this design creates a dramatic, unobstructed cathedral ceiling that completely opens up your vertical hosting space.



Sized for Intimate Patios and Expansive Estates

Every backyard layout presents unique spatial opportunities. To ensure a seamless integration with your existing landscape features, our structures are categorized directly by their actual roof coverage footprints, making it easy for your design and construction teams to plan exact site clearances.


Available Footprints and Structural Profiles


  • The 6x6 Patio Series (12x16 & 14x14): Engineered with solid 6x6 timber posts, this series brings authentic mortise and tenon joinery to smaller spaces, making it ideal for intimate townhome patios or standard residential decks.
  • The Mid-Size Hosting Series (14x18 & 16x16): Built on structural 8x8 posts, these configurations are highly requested for outdoor dining rooms, providing plenty of room for premium stone fireplaces and built-in grill stations.
  • The Grand Estate Series (18x22, 20x20 & 22x26): These massive architectural layouts feature heavy-duty 8x8 post dimensions designed to span large pool decks, commercial hospitality spaces, or multi-zone outdoor entertainment lounges.



Built-In Versatility for Premium Utilities

An elite outdoor kitchen or lounge requires more than just shelter from the sun—it demands integrated utility. Our pavilion kits are engineered with modern technology in mind, allowing contractors to seamlessly run mechanical elements without disrupting the organic visual texture of the rough sawn hemlock.


Through our specialized fabrication options, structures can be customized to support full electrical integration. By utilizing our core-drilled post service, a clean 1" diameter channel is drilled straight through the center of the solid timber posts, accompanied by a precise electrical box cutout. This allows your local electrician to run wiring invisibly from the foundation up to the ceiling rafters, powering your accent lighting, outdoor television, sound systems, and heavy-duty ceiling fans without a single piece of exposed conduit ruining the authentic wood aesthetic.


Furthermore, these kits are completely compatible with professional-grade finishing selections. Homeowners can specify factory-applied, multi-tonal outdoor stains and sealants to match the existing woodwork of their main home, or pick out a rugged 28 gauge corrugated metal roof package to guarantee long-term durability against the elements.



Your Local Gateway to Forest-to-Frame Luxury
