This project is a nice 12×18 timber framed pergola structure. The timber materials are beetle kill pine, local source. Here in Colorado the beetles have devastated over 2 million acres of the Lodgepole Pine forest and this is a nice way to use a small portion of the standing dead timber. The tongue in groove roof deck is also milled 2×6 beetle kill pine. The project is my design, Brewster Timber Frame Company, of Bellvue, CO. Foundation, steel roof and finish by General Contractor Drew Nichols of Nichols Construction.

I commend the use of the standing dead timber. Recycling at its best.
