A pavilion is an open-sided roofed structure with substantial posts, beams, roof framing, and permanent support points. The physical kit can be assembled only after the foundation and structural conditions are already established.
What This Service Covers
The service is limited to manufacturer-designed prefabricated pavilion kits where:
- the foundation or anchors are already prepared;
- structural documents are complete;
- required approvals are already in place;
- the roof system is defined by the kit;
- no custom engineering or structural modification is needed.
The work is physical assembly, not structural design or certification.
Pavilion-Specific Planning
Unlike a pergola, a pavilion has a full roof that carries rain and wind loads.
Post locations, beam orientation, trusses, roof slope, gutters where provided, and the relationship between the roof and prepared anchors must all match the manufacturer drawings.
Frame Assembly
Posts are set to the prepared anchor locations, then beams, braces, and trusses are assembled according to the kit.
Connection hardware should remain exactly as specified. Structural members should not be shortened, relocated, or substituted to force the pavilion to fit the site.
Roof-System Boundary
Roof decking, shingles, metal panels, flashing, or other roof components can require roofing expertise depending on the kit and project.
Any roof work beyond the manufacturer’s straightforward kit assembly should be handled by an appropriate roofing contractor.
FAQ
Can a pavilion kit be assembled on an existing slab?
Potentially, after the slab, anchor system, structural documents, and approvals have already been confirmed as suitable.
Does this include engineering or permits?
No.
Can post locations be moved to fit the patio?
Not unless the manufacturer or engineer has approved that structural change.
Can lighting or a fan be added?
Electrical work should be handled separately.
