*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 $133 per bracket. Another popular footer is the screw piles fitted with a saddle and no need for additional brackets.
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!)
✅ Highlighting the wood’s natural grain

All our structures are engineer approved. Permit requirements vary by location; however, the majority of our customers do not need a permit. Check with your local authorities for any permitting guidelines – customers are responsible for all permitting. Contact us if you require any documents for permits.
What are the snow load limits for the pavilions?
Snow Load of 40lbs/sqft which is comparable to 2-3 feet of snow and built to withstand the toughest winters.
Are cracks in the wood normal?
Our timber frame pavilions are crafted from real wood, so natural checking, cracking, twisting, shrinkage, and movement are expected as the timber dries and acclimates over time. These variations are a normal characteristic of live timber and add to the unique beauty and character of each structure. This does not impact the structural integrity of your structure.
Do you offer installation services?
Our DIY pavilion kits are designed for easy self-assembly and many of our customers choose to install this on their own. Contact us to receive a quote from a recommended installer if you’d prefer to watch it be built by the pros.

Do your pavilions come with a warranty?
Yes, all of our structures come with a 10 year warranty – our terms and conditions have more information.
