Outdoor pavillionOutdoor picnic pavilion for customers

Fox Hill Cheese House, Port Williams, Nova Scotia– 2005

A couple of years after we had built a timber frame addition for Fox Hill Cheese House's retail outlet, owner Richard Rand paid us another visit.  His business had taken off and he wanted to create an outdoor pavillion where clients could sit down and enjoy their cheese or to have lunch.  By then, Fox Hill Cheese House was getting bus tours, so they needed a good sized patio.  Through sketches and discussions, we came up with a fun structure. See the design for the pavilion.

The pavillion featured flared-out rafter tails, 80 feet of railings with barn swallows throughout, built-in benches in each corner, walk-through arbours with Dutch tenons, gunstock posts and a double ridge.

This timber framed gem sees a great deal of use.
