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.

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 Newmarket:
good to know.

The 15 square metre line for pavilions

A pavilion usually covers a whole table or seating group, so its footprint is measured against Newmarket's 15 square metre limit for detached structures while it is still a drawing. Above that limit, the Town's drawings are prepared from the rendering and the inspection becomes part of the build. A tree on your land more than 20 cm wide at 1.4 m up that has to make way needs its own Town permit first.

Town of Newmarket: building and renovating ↗

Pavilion builder in Newmarket: fitting a smaller yard

On the rectangular and pie-shaped lots at the town's edge, a pavilion is the largest thing the yard will hold. A rectangular lot keeps its width to the back fence, so the question is how far out to set the roof and still keep grass beyond it. A pie-shaped lot widens away from the house, which often makes a back corner the natural spot, reached by a paved path. Either way, setbacks from each lot line go on the plan before the footprint is fixed.

A shingled roof under Newmarket snow

Newmarket's winters are cold and somewhat snowy, and snow sits on a pavilion's solid roof where it would fall through a pergola, so the rafters and beams are sized for that weight. The town stands on deep glacial till with no rock outcrops anywhere, which means each post footing is dug down through soil to below the frost line and the roof stays put from one season to the next.
