Rich Cordoba on a timber framed shade structure has a depth, vibrancy, and superiority in stain performance making it the perfect choice for a formal, prestigious appearance.
To Native American Indians dark brown represented the power of self-discipline resonating secure energy; promoting a feeling of acceptance and stability. Keywords that have been attributed to the meaning of the vibrant dark brown color of Rich Cordoba stain are dependable, responsible, solid, rich, masculine, vibrancy, secure and sheltering.
The element of color can direct our attention to a specific area to create a more inviting landscape design. Whether subconsciously or emotionally we each respond to color in different ways. Colors can help to evoke in us, a particular mood, displaying beauty than connects us, inspires us to experience joy and awe as it covers its marvelous architectural forms.
The combination of stain color on a solid wood, timber frame shade structure speaks a beautiful language all its own that cannot be fully conveyed through words alone. The quality of light can change the way a color can appear to our eyes, creating at times an optical illusion. To add to the mix, wood itself also varies in color values and hues.
After viewing these 18 beautiful gazebos, pavilions and pergolas finished in Western Timber Frame’s premium high grade UV protective Rich Cordoba timber stain, check out the color teaser at the bottom of this post for a fun experiment with light and color.

Dovetailed Timber Framed Pergola
Energized, engaging, enjoying family.
We bought a pergola last year and have absolutely loved it! It adds such beauty and character to our backyard that felt like a barren wasteland before. We got a 12X20 kit and had them install it. We were hoping it would be great, but this exceeds our expectations. They were very professional, quick, made a few adjustments to accommodate our house and have been great with questions. We recommend them to everyone who is looking at a project like this. – Review on Houzz

For kids it is a natural to be outdoors. As adults we sometimes get so wrapped up in the daily schedules of life that too readily the days can pass us by and we haven’t really breathed in the fresh outdoors like a kid. Convenient outdoor living areas invite people to come outside and enjoy the beautiful sunshine and time together as a family and with friends.
