Gazebos Pergolas and Pavilions

2 • Gazebos, Pergolas & Pavilions

rolling green hills of South East Pennsylvania is the home of the largest concentration of Amish people in the world. Away from the main road and tourist traps is some of the prettiest country you’ll ever see. People from the Northeast aren’t surprised when they pull up behind a horse drawn buggy, but for those visiting for the first time, it’s a startling site. You’ll see well-kept houses, barns and silos sticking up amongst lush green fields of corn and tobacco. Along with plenty of horses, cows, chickens, goats and deer. Most of us are still farmers and we love our land, but starting a few decades ago, many of us became builders. We continue to follow our code and our way of life because of the way it keeps us together morning, day and night.

The

to Amish Country. Here is what a few people have had to say about their experience:

The quality of the wood and construction is absolutely phenomenal. Much better than we thought even possible. - Frank M. Greenville, SC

My daughter Chelsea loves to come spend time with me in our new gazebo. She loves it. - Stephen S., Lancaster, PA

The Grandkids call it “Grandma’s second home.” She loves to go out there to get away, and also to spend time with the grand kids. - Glen B., York PA

Our neighbors told us one day, the deck was ripped off, and the next they saw a brand new sunroom. Amazing! - George and Leah M. Belaire MD.

We were concerned that maybe the vinyl might be shaky or flimsy. Then I caught my teenage sons chasing each other around the roof. This thing is built like Fort Knox! - Linda S., St. Louis, MO

First, I had them build and install a gazebo and sunroom and I thought, “Why not ask them to build my garage?” I was amazed at the quality and how in sync they were putting my garage up in 2 days. - Raymond P. Lancaster, PA

Welcome

Our hope is that we can be a part of bringing your family closer together.

What Defines UsIn one word, family. Family means everything! We work hard to provide for our families and to show that hardwork, dedication and motivation are core values creating an inspiring family dynamic.

At the business every day are a father and mother, two sons, a daughter, her husband, a couple of cousins, and about 12 other Amish employees. We have two non-Amish drivers to help us get around. We have another married son in the office, and a daughter that is married. All 6 of our children are Amish and live close by. Our oldest son is the supervisor in the plant and also oversees most of the on-site work.

Our family is a circle of strength and love, one of our greatest blessings.

14' Wood Gazebo KitBuilt by a homeowner and his brother in Fairfax, Virginia, this wood gazebo is made with our optional premium #1 "Select" grade pressure treated lumber.

CraftsmanshipA Craftsman is defined as a man who practices a craft with great skill. Skill is acquired from learning and working on your craft for many years. Our dedication to becoming the best craftsmen we can be is made credible in living by these words, "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right". We are invested in producing beautiful, admirable products that are superior in quality, structure and design. Our attention to detail is matched by no other.

Your structure is made in our modernized Amish facility using equipment powered by a 450 hp diesel engine, air compressor, and hydraulic pump. The men in the shop range in age from 18 to 68. Even the youngest member of our shop has been around for several years and is skilled in several areas.

12' Vinyl Gazebo KitThis gazebo was built in Syracuse, New York, in two weekends and was ordered without a floor to be installed on top of brick pavers.

ArtistryThe design concept is simple – build the best, most beautiful and durable wood and vinyl structures possible. The harder you look and the more you learn, the more our quality is evident. We just know how we build them and what we build them with and we only use the best.

We want you to get exactly what you desire so we give you as many options as possible to build your masterpiece. Instead of just asking you for sizes and specs, we can discuss what you’re going to do with the space, how it fits into your overall property and your personal style.

ProductionWe are very good at handling tricky angles and working with precision. That’s why many builders from around the country order our kits. They can’t make them for what we do here. Also, we buy wood like a lumber yard, truckloads at a time.Nearly every piece of wood that comes into our shop is re-milled to precise dimensions. This makes for a better fit, it is easier for us, or for you to put together, and the material is more likely to stay together without pulling on the fasteners.

Weathervanes • 15

WeAtHeRVAneSWeathervanes were created as instruments used to indicate the speed and direction of the wind. They are one of the oldest methods of weather prediction with a very long history dating back to 48 B.C. in ancient Greece. Balancing on a rotating axis, weathervanes are located on the highest point of tall structures. Although typically a simple device, they are often artistically fanciful and whimsical in design. Weathervanes are now used less for weather predictions and more for adornments on private homes, barns, gazebos and many public buildings. They are beautiful embellishments, whether an enhancement or an ornament, it is simply put "the icing on the cake".

love of beauty is taste.

the creation of beauty is art.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

There are no idle hands in our currently all-Amish shop in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. At any one time, we have from 5 to as many as 20 structures moving through the shop. There is an assembly-line approach where each man has his job and where everyone pitches in to help when needed.

it’s value is unending.it’s beauty is unchanging. it’s serenity is unwavering.

The two biggest reasons to go with vinyl are aesthetics and maintenance, not so much durability. You won’t ever have to stain or paint your gazebo. It will only require washing now and then. If you prefer the way wood looks, you should know that a wood gazebo will last just as long as vinyl, it just requires more maintenance.

Vinyl covered ceiling for low maintenance. Double 2” x 4” rafters or 2” x 6” depending on size for additional durability.

Every floor joist is hand-selected and milled at our shop to precise dimensions, providing for a smoother floor, and greater durability.

Railing Bases and Top Rail are Both Filled with 2” x 3” Lumber for Unshakable Sturdiness and Durability

CommercialIf you are in charge of a commercial project of any size, we have the ability to handle whatever you need, whether it’s a 30 foot octagon gazebo, an aviary to house peacocks at night, or a town pavilion to hold picnics. We can provide you with engineered kits for your construction crew to assemble, or we can come to the site and assemble it for you. We’ve done both many many times from Canada to Florida to California. If needed, your structure will be modeled and certified for the necessary wind load and snow load. Our team of engineers have stamps for any state.
