Built with the finest materials and honing our Scandinavian roots, we are here to give you the best your backyard deserves.
But what are we all about? Read the blog below to learn more.
Premium Craftmanship
We did mention that we use the finest of materials for our structures. And by finest, we mean Douglas Fir wood. This type of wood is strong (twice as strong as cedar), resistant to warping, and long-lasting for generations to come. Meticulously designed by our founder, Frank Ditlefsen, our structures come with the following features:
- Mortise & Tenon Joinery: This technique ensures that the posts and support beam have a stable and secure fit. Additionally, this design calls for easy installation and holds an aesthetic appeal as well.
- Bird Mouth Rafters: It’s a traditional roofing technique that ensures that the weight of the roof is distributed evenly throughout, providing stability. It also ensures that no single point in the roof structure has relentless stress, warranting longevity.
- Ozco Post Brackets: Our pavilions are fitted with industrial-grade Ozco brackets for improved durability and longevity. They’re corrosion resistant and also sport a ranch-style look.
- Open Lattice Roof: Just the right amount of shade and open sky. Let vines climb, string up lights, and make the space truly your own.
- Privacy Walls: Upgrade your pavilion with matching Douglas Fir privacy walls—designed to block wind, add shelter, and create a cozy, enclosed space. Ideal for fireside conversations, quiet reading corners, or alfresco dining with a touch of seclusion.
Why Outdoor Structures Are a Game-Changer?
The term “game-changer” gets thrown around a lot these days, but when it comes to outdoor structures, it’s absolutely fitting. These aren’t just pretty additions to your yard – they’re fundamental shifts in how we think about and use our outdoor spaces.
Outdoor structures create functional outdoor rooms that extend your living space beyond your home’s four walls. They’re essentially turning backyards from underused patches of grass into vibrant, purposeful areas where life happens.
Weather Protection
Here’s where outdoor structures prove why they’re such a game-changer – they make outdoor living possible regardless of what Mother Nature has planned. No more canceling backyard gatherings because of unexpected rain or scorching sun.
Pavilions provide that crucial shelter from the elements, extending your outdoor season from a few perfect weather days to virtually year-round enjoyment. Even a simple pergola with climbing vines can create enough shade to make hot summer afternoons bearable.
This weather protection isn’t just about comfort – it’s about reliability. When you can count on your outdoor space being usable regardless of conditions, you’re more likely to use it regularly rather than letting it sit empty most of the year.
Boost In Property Value
If you’re still questioning why outdoor structures are a game-changer, consider this: well-designed outdoor spaces can increase your property value by 10 to 20 percent. That’s not just a nice bonus – it’s often enough to completely recoup your initial investment and then some.
Real estate professionals consistently note that homes with thoughtfully designed outdoor structures—and smart backyard design ideas—stand out in competitive markets. Buyers aren’t just looking for four walls and a roof anymore; they want lifestyle-enhancing spaces that elevate how they live and entertain.
Encourages Family Gatherings
Timber pavilions and pergolas do more than enhance your backyard—they create inviting spaces where memories are made. Whether it’s a sunny pool party or a weekend family barbecue, these structures become the heart of your outdoor living.
With shade, comfort, and style built right in, pavilions encourage togetherness—offering the perfect setting for kids to play, parents to relax, and guests to gather. From birthday celebrations to spontaneous summer evenings, your backyard becomes the go-to spot for family fun.
Conclusion
Your backyard holds more potential than you think—and with Norw’eh, embellishing it is easier than ever. Our timber pergolas and pavilions bring timeless design and lasting functionality to the place you cherish most. It’s not just an upgrade. It’s an invitation to live more, outside.
