Cedar pavilion with a shingled gable roof sheltering an outdoor dining table on stone paving.
01Pavilions

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.

Pale stone, charcoal band

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.

Pavilion permits in Holland Landing

A roof over an existing low deck has a side effect: East Gwillimbury exempts only a deck that is completely uncovered, so that deck comes under the permit too. Once a pavilion needs a permit, the Town of East Gwillimbury reviews it as a building. Expect drawings with its dimensions, the roof framing and the distance to each lot line, and inspections as it goes up. We prepare the drawings and help with the application, and the deck under it goes on the same application.

A pavilion builder in Holland Landing near the river: placement and approvals

Near the house, a pavilion becomes an outdoor dining room within reach of the kitchen; at the far end of the yard it is somewhere to walk to, and on a lot that runs toward the river, that end may be land the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority regulates. We check the evening sun, the view from each open side and the authority’s mapping before the footprint is drawn.

The authority may regulate land by the river, a stream, a wetland or a steep slope, and there it must approve any new structure and any grading. A pavilion brings both: a footing at every post and often some levelling for the pad. Where a lot may be regulated, the Town and the authority get one set of drawings.
