What’s included

What a pavilion project
includes.

As a pavilion builder in King City, we treat the roof first: rafters, beams, posts and connections sized for snow on the shingles and wind under the eaves, with an overhang drawn to keep the floor dry. The pad or platform underneath is pitched to drain, and you approve it in a rendering before any footing is dug.

  1. Design

    Both its size and its spot follow how you gather. A drawing comes first.

    • Size and roof shape
    • Placement in the yard
    • A rendering to review

  2. Structure and roof

    Posts and beams in cedar under a framed, shingled roof.

Cedar pavilion with a shingled gable roof sheltering an outdoor dining table on stone paving.

Cedar, shingles

Room under the roof

A cedar pavilion makes space for dining outside, under a timber roof.

The shingled gable rests on heavy timber posts, set on stone paving among the planting.

Cedar, black metal

From the deck to the lawn

Broad cedar steps and a slim black railing connect the deck to the yard.

The steps span the width of the seating area above them, and a flagstone landing meets them at the lawn.

Cedar, pale stone

A connected backyard

Cedar decking steps down to a stone patio and a garden beyond.

The back door, the table and the garden work as one space, and a slim black railing keeps the view from the deck open.

Stone beneath the table

A pale stone patio with a charcoal border and a green garden edge.

The slabs run from the back steps to the dining table, and planted beds soften the line where the patio meets the garden.

Pavers, stone steps

A clear path to the door

Interlocking paving and broad stone steps shape the front entrance.

The darker border keeps the walk crisp against the lawn, and planting softens both sides of it.

Cedar, stone terrace

An open frame for the garden

A cedar pergola frames a sitting area, with a slatted screen for privacy.

Open rafters let the light through, and the screen shelters the back of the terrace, so the seating stays part of the garden.

Good to know

Pavilion builder in King City:
good to know.

When a King City pavilion needs a permit

Two bodies can be involved. The Township of King judges each pavilion design on whether it needs a building permit, and if it does, the structure is designed to the climatic data the Township applies to your property. Separately, any structure built where the TRCA regulates the land needs that authority's own permit. Zoning setbacks from the lot lines apply either way.

What a pavilion builder in King City designs for

In King the design numbers for a pavilion roof do not come from a table. The Township has no line of its own in the SB-1 climatic tables, so the data used for snow on the shingles and wind under the eaves is set by where the property is, how the weather behaves there and local experience. The roof also has plenty of rain to shed: the moraine pushes Lake Ontario air upward over King City, and it comes down as rain and snow.

The overhang is a trade-off. A deep one keeps driven rain off the table, but it also gives wind more roof to lift, so on an open lot the eaves are kept in proportion and the rafters tied down harder. Snow is the other load: a shingled roof holds whatever settles on it until it melts or slides off, which is why the beams and posts look bigger than the pavilion's size suggests.
